- Properly Sturdy: The glass is surprisingly robust, easily handling daily kitchen knocks and bumps.
- Lid Care: The metal lid can dent if dropped, which might compromise the airtight seal.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Bakehouse in Stow-on-the-Wold was using a jumble of plastic tubs for their granola and dried fruits. They wanted a storage solution that looked more professional on their open shelving and aligned with their sustainable ethos.
"Our counter looks so much smarter now. The jars are brilliant – they keep everything so fresh, and customers often ask where they can get them. They've really elevated our presentation."
Samuel Jones – Head Baker
Since switching, they've reduced their daily plastic use and report that products like granola and biscuits stay crisp for at least 50% longer.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Always wash the jar and lid thoroughly in hot, soapy water before the first use.
- Ensure both the jar's thread and the inside of the lid are completely dry before sealing.
- Check the glass for any chips or cracks that may have occurred during transit before filling.
Keeping It Perfect
- Both the glass jar and metal lid are completely dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the glass or lid.
- To prevent thermal shock (and potential cracking), don't pour boiling liquids into a cold jar.
- Periodically check the inner seal of the lid for any signs of wear or damage to ensure it remains airtight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Kilner GG786 preserve jar truly airtight?
A: Yes, the metal screw-top lid is designed to create a completely airtight seal, keeping contents fresh and protected from moisture and air.
Q: Can I use this for hot liquids or canning?
A: This jar is designed for preserving and storing. For proper canning that requires a vacuum seal, we recommend Kilner's dedicated canning jars with a two-part lid system. Avoid pouring boiling liquids directly into a cold jar to prevent cracking.
Q: Is the glass fragile?
A: Kilner glass is known for being durable and robust, designed to withstand the demands of a busy kitchen. However, like all glass, it can break if dropped on a hard surface.
Q: Are the jars stackable?
A: These jars do not have a specific design for stable stacking. They can be placed next to each other on shelves for a secure and organised pantry.
Q: What does 'BPA-Free' actually mean?
A: It means the glass is made without Bisphenol-A, a chemical sometimes found in plastics. This ensures that no unwanted chemicals can leach into your food.
Q: How do I clean the jar and lid?
A: It couldn't be easier – both the glass jar and the metal screw-top lid are 100% dishwasher safe.
Q: Will strong-smelling foods like garlic or coffee stain or flavour the jar?
A: No. The high-quality glass is non-porous, meaning it won't absorb any odours, flavours, or colours, even from potent ingredients.
Q: What is the diameter of the jar's opening?
A: The jar has a wide mouth, making it easy to fill, scoop from, and clean, which is a huge plus in a fast-paced kitchen environment.
The Kilner Legacy: More Than Just a Jar
When you buy a Kilner jar, you're not just buying a container; you're investing in over 175 years of British heritage and trust. Invented by John Kilner in 1842, these jars have become a gold standard in kitchens worldwide for a reason: unwavering quality. This history translates into real-world business value. You get a product that’s been refined for generations, resulting in fewer replacements and long-term reliability. For your business, using a Kilner signals a commitment to quality that customers recognise and appreciate. It’s also a conscious environmental choice, helping you reduce plastic waste and appeal to eco-aware patrons. In a world of disposable goods, the Kilner jar stands as a testament to durable, sustainable, and timeless design that supports your business day in, day out.
Explore more from KilnerWhy Non-Porous Glass Is a Kitchen Hero
Ever stored curry paste in a plastic tub and found it smells of curry forever? That’s because plastic is porous, meaning it has tiny holes that trap odours and stains. The Kilner GG786 preserve jar, however, is made from non-porous glass. Think of it like a perfectly smooth, sealed surface. It doesn't absorb anything. This means you can store pungent pickled garlic one week, wash the jar, and store delicate vanilla sugar the next, with absolutely no 'flavour ghosting'. It guarantees the pure, intended taste of your ingredients every single time, which is crucial for professional quality control.
