Maintenance Tips
-
Rinse immediately after use: Wash off food residue and mineral deposits to prevent buildup and staining.
-
Dry completely: Air-dry or towel-dry after washing to prevent rust spots and maintain food-safe hygiene.
-
Avoid harsh abrasives: Use mild soap and soft sponge only to protect the stainless steel finish and weld points.
-
Check for warping: Ensure rack stays flat so jars remain level during water bath or pressure canning.
-
Store dry and separated: Stack loosely or hang to prevent bending and preserve shape integrity.
-
Sanitize before canning: Briefly boil or soak in hot water before each use for safe, bacteria-free processing.
-
Handle weight properly: Even distribution of jars prevents stress on welds and extends rack lifespan.
-
Avoid prolonged soaking: Prevents unnecessary corrosion on joints over time.
