Description
the 500ml (0.5 Liter) Wire Clip Glass Jar is the most popular size for small-batch preserving, spice organization, and individual meal prepping.
Product Specifications
- Capacity: 500ml / 0.5 Liters (approx. 16.9 oz).
- Closure System: A mechanical stainless steel wire bale with a toggle-action lever for a high-pressure seal.
- Airtight Seal: Includes a food-safe silicone or rubber gasket (available in orange, white, or clear) that prevents air and moisture from entering.
- Material: Clear, high-strength soda-lime glass.
- Dimensions: Typically stands 10–11 cm (approx. 4 inches) tall with a 10 cm diameter.
Functional Use Cases
- Spice & Herb Storage: Ideal for bulk spices that don't fit in standard small shakers (e.g., cinnamon sticks, star anise, or large bags of peppercorns).
- Small-Batch Fermentation: The perfect size for "fridge pickles," sauerkraut for one, or infusing oils and vinegars with herbs.
- Kitchen Staples: Holds approximately 400g–500g of salt, seeds, or nuts.
- On-the-Go Meals: Widely used for overnight oats, "salad in a jar," or transporting yogurt and granola to work.
- Gifting: Often used as decorative packaging for homemade jams, chutneys, or bath salts.
Care and Maintenance
- Hygiene: The glass body is dishwasher safe and can be sterilized in boiling water (remove the wire and gasket first).
- Durability: The glass is odor and stain-resistant, making it superior to plastic for strong-smelling ferments like kimchi.
