- JOIN THE COMMUNITY - Within the Le Parfait family, you are included with award-winning professional chefs, national culinary institutions and charitable food organizers who trust Le Parfaits dependability and durability within the finest gourmet establishments around the world.
- Le Parfait glass preserving jars are popular because they are made with all-natural materials, are easy to use, save you time in your daily schedule, offer a large range of various sizes and styles, are simple to clean, and the global website supports you with engaging resources.
- If using the jars for daily storage use, we recommend occasionally rotating the wire ring while holding the glass jar and lid stationary. This will help to release any crumbs or debris caught under the wire and avoid clamping pressure being placed repeatedly on the same area of the glass rim.
Le Parfait Super jars and terrines should always be used with a Le Parfait Super rubber seal, even when the jar or terrine is used for pantry storage. Persistent opening and closing of the wire hinge could cause damage. Please consider the Le Parfait COLOR LID product line with screw-top caps as an alternative for pantry storage.
The Le Parfait Super Terrines in 500ml (16 oz), 750ml (24 oz), and 1L (32 oz) sizes feature galvanized wire closures, not stainless steel wire.
For a simple homemade coffee setup, pair these jars with our cold brew kit to make smooth, full-bodied coffee right at home.

How do you use Le Parfait jars?
Le Parfait jars are used for home canning (water bath and pressure canning), fermenting vegetables, freezer storage, dry-pantry storage, refrigerator storage of leftovers, and serving. Recipes and how-to guides are at leparfait.us/blogs/recipes.
Are these jars good for water bath canning and pressure canning?
Yes. Le Parfait jars are approved for foodstuffs and can be used for long-term food preservation with either water bath or pressure canning. See leparfait.us/blogs/recipes for specific time and temperature requirements. The rubber seal (Super) or sealing cap (Screw Top) is a replacement part; use a new seal for each canning event.
Is Le Parfait glass lead free?
Yes. Le Parfait glass is a soda-lime-silica glass with no lead added during fabrication. Products are tested annually to certify no heavy metal contaminants (lead, cadmium, etc.) and meet the most stringent European and French standards for food-use glass.
How often should you replace the rubber seal?
Replace rubber seals after every canning or pickling project, or every six months for everyday use. Replace immediately at any sign of cracking, drying, or discoloration to protect the closing mechanism.
Are Le Parfait glass jars freezable?
Yes. Le Parfait glass jars work well for freezer storage thanks to the sleek neck and shoulder geometry. Leave proper headspace for contents to expand.
Are Le Parfait glass jars dishwasher safe?
Yes. Le Parfait jars are dishwasher safe and can also be hand washed. Air dry completely before storing.
Can you use Le Parfait jars for fermentation?
Yes. Le Parfait Super Jars are ideal for fermenting sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, and hot sauce. The rubber gasket and wire-bail closure allows CO2 from active fermentation to escape while keeping oxygen and contaminants out, no airlock required. Fill to the shoulder, keep the wire bail clamped, and store in a cool location during active fermentation.
