Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Ginger Cat Deli, a popular spot in the heart of York, needed to upgrade their counter-top display. They were using a mix of plastic tubs and mismatched jars for their olives and antipasti, which looked untidy and didn't seal properly, leading to unnecessary spoilage.
"Switching to the Kilner jars immediately lifted the look of our counter. Customers comment on them all the time. They trust the name, and the seal is fantastic – our olives and peppers stay fresh for so much longer."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Ginger Cat Deli
By using the airtight clip top jar Kilner is famous for, the deli cut down on daily food waste and noted a significant increase in antipasti sales.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash the jar and rubber seal in warm, soapy water before the first use.
- Ensure the rubber seal is properly seated around the rim of the glass lid, with no twists.
- When filling, leave a small gap at the top (about 1.5cm) before sealing.
- To close, press the lid down firmly and pull the metal clip over the top until it clicks securely into place.
Keeping It Going
- The glass jar is completely dishwasher safe. We recommend handwashing the metal clip and rubber seal to prolong their life.
- Before each use for preserving, check the rubber seal for any cracks or brittleness. Replace if it looks worn.
- To sterilise for canning, wash thoroughly and then place the open jars and glass lids in an oven at 160°C for 10 minutes.
- If storing dry goods, ensure the jar is completely dry inside before filling to prevent moisture damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Kilner GG781 storage container completely airtight?
A: Yes, when the clip is properly engaged with the rubber seal, it creates a fully airtight environment, perfect for preserving.
Q: Can I put the whole jar in the dishwasher?
A: The glass jar itself is dishwasher safe. To maximise the lifespan of the seal and clip, it's best to hand wash the rubber seal and metal components.
Q: Are the rubber seals replaceable?
A: Yes, replacement Kilner rubber seals are readily available, so you can keep using your jars for years and years.
Q: Is the glass BPA-free and food-safe?
A: Absolutely. Kilner glass is completely free from BPA and other harmful chemicals, and it does not absorb odours or flavours.
Q: Can I use this for hot-fill preserving or canning?
A: Yes, Kilner jars are designed for preserving. You can hot-fill them, but avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes (like pouring boiling liquid into a cold jar) to prevent cracking.
Q: How do I sterilise the jar properly?
A: Wash in hot, soapy water, rinse well, and then place the open jar in a pre-heated oven at 160°C/320°F for about 10 minutes before filling.
Q: Will the metal clip rust over time?
A: The clip is made from high-quality stainless steel designed to resist rust. To keep it in top condition, always dry it thoroughly after washing.
Q: Can I stack these jars on top of each other?
A: Due to the clip-top mechanism, these jars aren't designed to be stacked directly on top of one another securely. They are best stored side-by-side on a shelf.

Explore more from KilnerThe Secret to Lasting Freshness: How Kilner's Seal Works
Ever wondered what makes the airtight seal on a Kilner jar so effective? It’s a clever two-part system. The orange rubber ring creates the initial barrier, but the real magic happens with the metal clip. When you clamp it shut, it applies firm, even pressure across the entire lid. This pressure squeezes the rubber ring, forcing out any excess air and creating a vacuum-like seal that moisture and microbes can't get past. Think of it like a bank vault door for your food; once it's locked, the contents are secure. This is why it’s so trusted for long-term preserving, keeping food safe and delicious for months.
