Preserve your food with high quality mason jars

Mason jars take your preserved food creations to the next level by storing and displaying them in a beautiful glass jar with a secure lid that keeps the contents inside airtight, fresh and safe to eat. Regular mouth mason jars are great for holding food under liquid level while wide mouth mason jars are for preserving larger amounts of food and are also safe for freezing.

While food storage is their primary purpose, mason jars are versatile and can be used for other purposes too, including storing DIY projects, displaying flowers or serving up iced beverages. Shop mason jars at Kitchen Warehouse by trusted brands with various sizes, quantities and designs to suit every need.

Make food last longer with our preserving jars

Pressure canning is a method of preserving food. It uses steam to create jar temperatures that are higher than those used in water bath canning to effectively kill all bacteria inside for safe storage. Mason jars are designed for homemade canning as they are stronger than regular jars and won’t shatter under extreme heat.

Whether you’re canning, pickling, fermenting or preserving food, our mason jars will let you do it safely and in style. Shop individual mason jars or a set for bulk storing, including the Salisbury & Co Old Fashioned Round Mason Jar Set 7pc with a screw-on band and lid for an airtight seal and an elegant logo for presentation.

Guide to cleaning mason jars

As mason jars are glass jars that can withstand extreme heat, they are safe for putting in the dishwasher for a quick and easy clean.

To sterilise mason jars in preparation for food storage, place the clean jars upright on a baking tray and place in the oven at 110C for 15 minutes until dry. To sterilise the lids, boil them for five minutes then leave to air dry on a cooling rack.
