Glass jar / preserving jar ORION 3.4 L airtight screw-top – universal kitchen storage

ORION glass jar with a 3.4 L capacity is a universal airtight screw-top preserving jar intended for kitchen storage and food preservation. Made from clear glass and fitted with a screw-top patent lid, this container provides visible, hygienic storage for dry goods, pickles, liquids and preserved foods. Its volume and shape are suitable for home canning, meal prep and pantry organisation, enabling convenient access and stable stacking in cupboards or on worktops.

Advantages

The glass construction is non-reactive and transparent, allowing visual identification of contents without opening the lid. The screw-top patent lid ensures a secure airtight seal to help extend shelf life of preserves and reduce moisture ingress. The 3.4 litre capacity balances bulk storage with manageable jar size for lifting and pouring. The simple cylindrical design facilitates cleaning, reuse and compatibility with common kitchen shelving and storage systems.

How to use

Before first use, wash the jar and lid in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Fill the jar with prepared foods, preserves or dry ingredients leaving appropriate headspace for canning if heat processing is planned. Secure the screw-top lid firmly to create an airtight seal; for hot-fill preserving follow standard canning procedures and cooling times recommended for your recipe. For dry storage, ensure contents are fully cooled and dry before sealing to avoid condensation and spoilage.

Usage recommendations

For safe preserving, use established canning methods when processing hot preserves and ensure jars are inspected for chips or cracks before each use. Avoid sudden temperature changes to the glass to reduce risk of breakage, and store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for longer shelf life. The jar is reusable and suitable for labelling to keep track of contents and dates.
