Safety tips for storing food in Weck jars

Weck jars are a simple and easy way to ensure your sauces, condiments and raw ingredients will stay fresher for longer. When properly stored, your goods can last for weeks, months or even longer depending on what you’re storing!

However, it’s important to make sure you always store your goods properly to ensure they stay secure and are free from any harmful bacteria or other contaminants. Take a look at our handy storage guide and keep your food fresher for longer with Tomkin.

1. Check your jars. The first and most important step in the storage process is checking your jars before you get started. Always ensure your jars are free from deep scratches, nicks and chips to avoid spoiling your food.
2. Clean your jars. It’s essential to thoroughly clean your jars before using them to make sure all contaminants and bacteria are removed. We recommend washing your jars in hot water with soap before rinsing them thoroughly to remove any remaining dirt.
3. Check the lid. Whether your lid is made with wood, glass or cork, always make sure your lids are free from any cracks, abrasions or stains before storing. We also recommend thoroughly rinsing the rubber rings on your lids with boiling water and allowing them to dry fully. This ensures your rings will provide the tightest possible seal.
4. Get your surfaces ready. We recommend placing a towel, cutting board or rack under your jars if handling hot or cold foods. This will help catch any condensation for cold foods and will make the hot jars easier to handle.
5. Fill your jars. Leave at least 1.5cm of headroom between the top of the food and the lid of the jar. This prevents the food from touching your rubber rings and also ensures your jars aren’t overfilled. It also provides enough room to conveniently pour your ingredients out of the jar without creating a mess with accidental splashes.
6. Wipe the rim. Make sure the rim of your jar is clean and free from any oils or liquids that can compromise your seal.
7. Use clamps for a tighter seal. Clamps are the best way to ensure an airtight seal on your jars.

FAQs about Weck jars

How do I avoid thermal shocks with my Weck jars?

Thermal shocks can occur with any type of jar or container made from glass and is a dangerous hazard for busy kitchens. Thermal shock occurs when glass breaks due to extreme temperature differences, such as pouring boiling water into a jar that has been stored in a freezer.

The best way to avoid thermal shocks is to ensure your jar is at room temperature before coming into contact with extreme hot and cold temperatures.

What is canning?

Canning is a method of preserving food by hermetically sealing it in an airtight container and then sterilising it through heat. Originally popularised in the 19th century, canning is a great way to keep your fruit, vegetables, jams, jellies, pickles and fermented foods ready to eat all year round, depending on their shelf life!

Here are our tips for canning food in your kitchen.

1. Don’t overfill your jars. Leave a couple of centimetres of space between the top of your food and the rim of your jar. This ensures your jars can be properly sealed.
2. Always use fresh food. We recommend using fruits and vegetables that are at their freshest when canning. Fresh produce has a longer shelf-life and will taste a lot better than older fruits and vegetables.
3. Don’t cover your jars when cooling. Allow your jars to cool at room temperature. To avoid thermal shocks, keep your jars away from any cold drafts while cooling.
4. Cool for 12 to 24 hours. Let your jars cool for as long as possible without handling your jars to ensure the tightest possible seal.

What’s the best way to clean Weck jars?

When it comes to storing food, sauces and other perishables, proper cleaning and hygiene are essential. Keep your Weck jars shiny and fresh with our cleaning guide for storage jars.

1. Check for damage. While glass is a durable, long-lasting material for jars, it’s important to make sure there are no scratches, nicks or sharp edges that could injure you during the cleaning process. Always check the edges, sides and rim of your jar before cleaning.
   
   
2. Clean the bottom of the jar. The simplest way to clean the bottom of your jar is to squirt a small amount of cleaning detergent in your jar and add approximately half a cup of hot water. Then, close the lid of your jar and shake your water and soap solution with both hands.
   
   We recommend shaking your jar for at least 30 seconds. This should remove any stubborn stains or residue from the bottom of your jar – if not, repeat the process until your jar is clean!
   
   
3. Rinse your jar with hot water. Rinse the inside of your jar with hot, clean water.
   
   
4. Scrub the outside of your jar. Clean the outside of the jar with hot water and dish detergent. We recommend using a sponge to clean the surface and remove any marks or stains.
   
   
5. Dry your jar. Dry the outside of your jar by hand and then place your jar upside down on a drying rack. This allows all the water to drip out of the jar, leaving the inside dry and ready to use.
