Why this preserve jar earns its place
The 2-litre size is Kilner's workhorse for serious kitchens. It's the jar you reach for when you're storing bulk preserves, pickled vegetables, or batched condiments. At 255 mm tall with a 137 mm diameter, it has the footprint to hold substantial quantities without monopolising shelf space. The metal clip top and rubber seal create an airtight environment that keeps contents fresher longer and makes hot-fill preservation reliable and straightforward.
The clip mechanism is robust and intuitive—press down and you know it's sealed. The rubber gasket wears over years, but replacement is simple and inexpensive (contact us on 01792 732702). The clear glass is thick enough to handle daily commercial kitchen work: hot fills, cold storage, transport on a trolley, sitting in a walk-in. Nothing fragile about it.
Both jar and lid go through the dishwasher without complaint. The glass is freezer-safe, so you can batch-prepare items and store them frozen, or use the jars as a rotating archive system. There's a reason Kilner has been the choice of preservers, caterers, and food producers for generations—they're built to work hard and last for years.
