Kilner jars.

[Potstubsdustbins]

Not quite sure if this is a good price but SWMBO tells me its not bad.

At Makro all prices plus VAT.

.5lt £1-99, 1lt £2-29, 1.5lt £2-69.

The jars are made by Kilner and have a metal lid with spring type fastening.

They are good prices IMO.

If you accept that they aren't genuine Kilner but of a similar design IKEA is far cheaper:

500ml - 80p
1000ml - £1.25
1.8L - £2.00
2L - £3.00

They call them KORKEN.

But compared to the genuine Kilner price from Lakeland Plastic your prices are good.

Never seen genuine Kilner that cheap but still go for ikea ATM as am on budget :-(

I found the IKEA ones weren't water / air tight so not good for preserving

That must be why SWMBO has asked me to bring her some more. That and the fact I get to pay for them so she gets them really cheap NOWT

The bonus of the Kilmer jars is that they are also heat resistant. Some of the cheaper ones crack when filled with hot contents or put into a pressure cooker. different quality of glass. Le parfait are similar quality to Kilmer.....but expensive, even over here!

I bought some small killer bottles from Wilcos last year...can't remember the price...but it wasn't very much.

Take the cost of them out of her pocket money pots!!!!

What do you need....that yr Mrs would use...that you could treat her to because she's special...and deserves a treat from an appreciative hubby?

Can anyone tell me part of the Kilner Jar I can keep once used? Obviously the jar itself but am I right in saying you can reuse the screw bands but not the lid seals?

[roitelet]

You are quite right Jay, the lid seals need replacing each time.

[Jay22]

Thank you roitelet!

How is Frank these days? (Off topic, I know sorry)

I too have found (like Alison said) that the ikea ones are not air/water tight and therefore unsuitable for preserving.
Please don't use them for anything that could give you botulism!

I get my kilners from Wilkos or from Dunelm mills (who do a much bigger range for very similar prices).

As an aside, if anyone knows a cheap place for kilner replacement seals I'd be grateful....they get dearer every year!
