Hello, I'm an expert in home preservation and canning techniques. When it comes to sterilizing a Kilner jar, it's essential to ensure that it's clean and free from any bacteria or other contaminants to maintain the quality and safety of the food you're preserving. Here's how you can sterilize a Kilner jar:


1. Wash the jar and its lid with warm, soapy water to remove any dirt or residue.

2. Rinse the jar and lid thoroughly under hot water to remove any soap.
3. Place the jar and lid in a large saucepan and cover them with water.
4. Bring the water to a boil and let them boil for at least 10 minutes.
5. Carefully remove the jar and lid using a tongs or jar lifter to avoid burning yourself.
6. Place the jar and lid on a clean towel or rack to air dry.

Remember, never use a Kilner jar if it has any cracks or chips as it won't seal properly.
