The advantages of glass jars

Glass jars have many advantages, both for cooking enthusiasts and for professionals who want to showcase their products.

Glass jars are first and foremost an ecological alternative to plastic containers. Durable and recyclable, glass drastically limits the use of single-use containers, and it is also free of substances harmful to our health, such as BPA.

Using glass jars ensures safe preservation of your food and foodstuffs. Unlike plastic, glass is completely airtight, it does not release any substance into the food and does not retain odors because it is non-porous. Thanks to glass, you can therefore preserve your dishes and foodstuffs while ensuring you fully enjoy their flavors.

Glass jars are also increasingly appreciated for their aesthetics. They are containers that professionals can use to showcase their preparations or products. At home, it is also possible to use several glass jars to store cereals, rice, or pasta, which can be decoratively placed on a nice shelf. The vintage charm of glass jars will thus bring a lovely touch of authenticity to all kitchens!

The glass jar is a versatile preservation method, suitable for professionals and individuals, but also allows a wide variety of foods to be stored in a healthy way. Depending on the capacity of your jars, you can use them as serving dishes, to store dry goods, prepared meals, sauces, vinaigrettes, marinades, or even jams.

How to use glass jars?

Glass jars can be used for food preservation by pasteurization or sterilization. The models we offer here are equipped with Twist-Off caps that screw on and off easily while ensuring an airtight seal that helps preserve the food.

Sterilization and pasteurization are preservation methods that aim to destroy the bacteria and micro-organisms naturally found in food. Thus, the glass jars are plunged into boiling water; it is the temperature of the water that destroys the bacteria and therefore ensures the long-term preservation of the food.

Note that pasteurization and sterilization do not ensure the same preservation time: the thermal treatment of sterilization is higher and therefore allows more micro-organisms to be treated. Consequently, a pasteurized glass jar will have a shorter preservation time than a sterilized jar: count a few months for pasteurization versus several years for sterilization.

Be aware that there are several methods for sterilizing and pasteurizing your food. The one you choose will mainly depend on the number of jars you want to process. If you regularly make a lot of preserves, you can use a sterilizer or a pressure cooker. However, if you only sterilize your dishes occasionally, there is no need to invest in a sterilizer: you can perfectly use a saucepan, a stewpot, or even an oven.

The sterilization or pasteurization time varies depending on the type of preparation you want to store in your glass jars. For example, raw foods require a longer sterilization period than already cooked foods.
