Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour Deli in Whitby, North Yorkshire, wanted to launch a new range of their own signature seafood pâtés and pickles. They needed packaging that not only looked premium on the shelf but also guaranteed freshness for their customers.
"We switched to the Kilner CZ899 jars and the difference in presentation was immediate. Customers associate Kilner with quality, and that trust instantly transfers to our products. The seal is completely reliable, which is crucial for us."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Harbour Deli
The move resulted in better customer feedback on product quality and helped achieve a 15% increase in sales of their preserved goods range within the first three months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash the jar, lid, and seal in hot, soapy water and rinse well before the first use.
- For preserving, you must sterilise the jars just before use. A hot wash in the dishwasher is a great way to do this.
- Ensure the rubber seal is properly seated on the glass lid with no twists or nicks.
- When closing, press down on the centre of the lid as you bring the clip over to ensure the best possible seal.
Keeping It Going
- The glass jar is dishwasher safe. We recommend handwashing the metal clip and rubber seal to prolong their life.
- After washing, always dry the metal clip thoroughly to prevent any chance of rust.
- Periodically check the rubber seal for any signs of cracking or perishing. Replacement Kilner seals are readily available.
- Store empty jars with the clip unfastened to allow air to circulate and prevent the seals from compressing unnecessarily.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these jars suitable for hot filling, like for jams and chutneys?
A: Absolutely. Kilner jars are designed for this. Just be sure to pre-heat the jars before pouring in boiling liquid to prevent the glass from cracking due to thermal shock.
Q: Can I put the entire jar in the freezer?
A: It's not recommended to freeze these jars, as the liquid will expand and can cause the glass to break. They are designed for ambient or refrigerated storage.
Q: How do I properly sterilise the Kilner CZ899 jar for preserving?
A: The easiest method is to wash them in hot, soapy water, rinse, and then place them in a preheated oven at 160°C for 15 minutes, or run them through a hot cycle on your dishwasher.
Q: Is the glass resistant to stains and odours?
A: Yes, the high-quality sodalime glass is non-porous, meaning it won't hold onto colours from things like beetroot or smells from garlic or spices.
Q: Can I buy replacement rubber seals for these jars?
A: Yes, replacement seals are widely available, which is great for ensuring your jars can be used reliably for many years.
Q: What makes a wide mouth jar better for catering?
A: The wide opening makes it much faster and cleaner to fill with ingredients, and easier to get a spoon or scoop inside, saving time and reducing mess in a professional kitchen.
Q: Is the metal clip made of stainless steel?
A: Yes, the clip system is engineered from high-grade stainless steel for durability and to provide the perfect tension for an airtight seal.
Q: Can I use this jar for things other than food?
A: Of course! They're great for craft storage, displaying small items, or even as a rustic vase for a single flower on a café table.
The Kilner Heritage: A Promise of Quality in Every Jar

Ever wondered what makes the Kilner seal so famously effective? It's a clever bit of engineering that's much more than just a lid. The system relies on perfect tension. When you close the high-grade stainless steel clip, it applies firm, even pressure onto the glass lid. This pressure squeezes the iconic orange rubber ring, forcing it to create a vacuum-tight seal against the rim of the jar.
Think of it like a submarine hatch. Once secured, it creates a formidable barrier that locks air out and flavour in. This is what makes it ideal for long-term preserving, as it prevents the bacteria and moisture in the air from spoiling the contents. It’s a simple, reusable, and incredibly effective method that has protected preserves for nearly two centuries.
Who Should Buy This?
- Artisan Delis & Farm Shops: Perfect for beautifully presenting and selling your homemade chutneys, jams, and pickled onions.
- Trendy Cafés: Use them for stylishly storing sugar and coffee beans or for serving layered desserts and overnight oats.
- Boutique Hotels: A wonderful way to offer guests high-quality, single-serving portions of breakfast preserves or yoghurt.
- Event Caterers: A reliable and reusable option for transporting individual portions of sauces, dips, or condiments securely.
