Product details Perfect for storing pickled vegetables, preserved berries or other tasty things from nature's pantry, as well as dry goods like pasta, granola, tea or yummy biscuits. The airtight seal helps food retain its flavor and aroma longer. The jar can also be used as a serving bowl - or as a storage container, helping you keep things organized throughout the home. You can write on the painted surface and, for example, note the contents and date – or perhaps write a personal greeting if you are giving the jar as a gift. The painted surface reduces the amount of daylight that enters the jar, so the taste is preserved and the shelf-life is extended. Write with a non-permanent marker and you can easily remove the text with a damp cloth and write again, over and over. Material Jar: Glass, Paint Wire: Stainless steel Seal: Natural rubber Care If you want to sterilize the jar with hot water, preheat the jar first with warm tap water. This prevents the glass from cracking. Dishwasher-safe. The glass jar is dishwasher-safe. The gasket needs to be washed by hand. Only for food and beverages with a max. temperature of 120°F.
