Kilner, glass jars and jars between design and utility

In the time of the Coronavirus health emergency, the trend is increasingly clear: there will be more and more room for reusable and recyclable products that are suitable for both household and professional use, easy to use and beautiful to look at. One company whose items exemplify all these qualities is Kilner: founded in 1842 in England as a manufacturer of glass bottles and jars, its first original jar dates from the late 1800s. As beloved and successful today as they were 120 years ago, the timeless popularity of Kilner jars and Kilner products is due to their iconic design and guaranteed airtightness, making them perfect for both food storage and as decorative objects. Let's take a look together at the ones RG Mania has selected for you, all unique in their own way, designed and made to accompany you in your daily needs.

Starting with the 1-liter capacity Club jar, equipped with a spiral complete with a cutting disk to create spaghetti-style ribbons of vegetables as an alternative to pasta. However, if you remove the aluminum lid, the glass Kilner jar becomes an ideal container for carrots, potatoes, squash, preserves, zucchini and beets. A gift box and booklet with care, recipes and instructions for use are included in the box, reflecting the attention to detail typical of the English-born company's products. The 1-liter Kilner Club is conveniently dishwasher safe, the only caution is not to pour boiling water directly into it, a rule that applies to all Kilner jars.

An example of an excellent solution for home cooking, where utility is combined with country design in the name of quality, simplicity and perfect packaging is the Milk&Shake glass jar, with aluminum cap and steel spring whisk, 54 cl capacity. This Kilner jar is designed to create excellent homemade whipped cream in seconds: simply pour in the cream, add the spring, close the lid and shake; in less than thirty seconds you will have tasty cream, to be consumed immediately or stored fresh in the refrigerator.

If the new trend is to prepare favorite foods at home and take them with you in reusable containers, the Kilner 35 cl storage jar, made of glass but with a steel spoon and measuring cup lid, is one of the products of the moment; the spoon holder and silicone seal complete the classic gift box of a set that is ideal for those who like to make their own breakfasts, snacks or snacks and want to take them everywhere, to enjoy anytime. Dried fruit, yogurt with berries, plain yogurt with honey and cereal, and Bubble Tea are just a few examples of possible uses for the Kilner canning jar.

Not only glass jars and glass jars: Kilner has also created a 17-liter capacity pot for the completion of the sterilization procedure and thus the preservation of cooking jars, to hold pickles and pickles, preserves, purees and jams, to preserve them and extend their shelf life. Designed specifically for Kilner products, the boiling basket is designed to hold up to seven jars of preserves. With a stainless steel body and glass lid that helps retain heat, the Kilner pot has an encapsulated base that allows even heat distribution and fits any type of source.

A world apart is fermentation, which RG Life has covered before but is at least worth mentioning thanks to the Kilner fermentation kit, which is great for creating fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles and more. In a size (3 liters) very suitable for creating and preserving, the set in addition to the jar consists of a wooden lid, to keep oxygen out, an essential condition for the process; a stopper and an airtight chamber for the safe release of gases; and two ceramic stones, to keep foods submerged under the salt brine. Fermentation is one of the oldest and most basic methods of food preservation, while lacto-fermentation also gives drinks their distinctive flavor, creating probiotics that aid digestion.
