So, the general rules for the preparation of glass containers:

1. We use cans only in perfect condition: cracks and chips are not allowed.
2. The cleanliness of the glass is not even discussed. We wash each side thoroughly and carefully using baking soda and laundry soap. After finishing washing, wash off the detergents and rinse the container with clean water.
3. After the sterilization process, put on dry, clean gloves or prepare potholders. Even from a slightly damp cloth, a temperature drop occurs and the glass can burst. In addition, the products will be hot and you can burn yourself without protecting your hands.
4. When you need to put several cans at once, they are installed with the neck down, placing them on a dry towel.
5. Remember the temperature of the contents: it should be practically equal to the temperature of the walls of the can. If we fill it with hot, then the container is hot, and we put cold refills in cooled glass.
6. We do not take the jar by the neck, we only grasp it with both hands.

Preliminary preparation for the process

Containers for blanks need preparation, namely, you need to find out how tight the packaging for winter products is and how to properly clean the containers.

About the tightness of cans

Without tightness, there will be no storage, the jar with the contents will not last even a month. To ensure a tight seal, tin lids with rubber bands are used.

As lids for jams, preserves, pear and apple compotes, unlacquered tinplate is suitable. But vegetable marinade, sour berries and sour fruits are best covered with lacquered yellow lids.

If the can involves the use of a screw cap, then this is even more convenient.

My cans are correct

First, we inspect each container, discard vessels with cracks and chips.

The check is carried out as follows: water is poured into the jar, the container is wiped dry from the outside. Now the container is screwed up with a lid, turned over and shaken. Droplets of water that appear on the table will let you know about a loose closure.

At the first stage of washing, it is better to fill each jar to the top with water and leave it for a couple of hours. It happens that solid particles invisible to the eye adhere to the inner walls, and so in the water they get soaked and perfectly washed out.

How cans are sterilized in an electric oven

If the oven is powered by electricity, then it is very convenient to sterilize the jars in it.

Sterilizing empty cans

Most often, recipes indicate that a winter preparation should be placed in a pre-sterilized jar. We do it like this:

1. We examined the container, if it is flawless, then we proceed to washing.
2. We prepare the oven: it should sparkle clean and not smell of any food.
3. If the cans are dry, then we put them with their neck down, if they are wet, then we turn them upside down.
4. If the sealing will be carried out with iron lids, it is also reasonable to place them on a baking sheet.
5. We turn on the oven and set it to 150 ° C.
6. Banks are quietly disinfected, at the end of the process they are removed. It is better not to open the oven right away, but to do it a few minutes after turning it off.
7. We put them on the table with their neck down, and cover them with a towel on top.

Sterilization of cans with blanks

On the contrary, many recipes require sterilization of containers with finished products. To do this, put a jar filled with product in a cold oven, but without lids.

Then we take out the blanks with both gloved hands. Can be rolled up under the cover.

How is the process of sterilizing cans in a gas oven

Many have gas ovens in their kitchens.They also do an excellent job of sterilizing winter twists.

Sterilizing empty cans

In this way, empty glass containers are often sterilized in the CIS countries: the method is old, time-tested reliability.

Clean jars should be placed with the neck down on a baking sheet or wire rack in a cold oven.

The temperature is not brought to the maximum. At first, the oven is heated to warm air, and then the mode is increased to 180ºC. The readiness of the cans can be determined by looking at the glass on the door. If at first it looks foggy, then by the end of the process it is completely dry.

Sterilization of cans with blanks

We put all the blanks in a cold oven on a baking sheet, covering with lids without rubber bands. We leave the unit with the jars to warm up, wait 20 minutes at 180 ° C. After we take out the conservation, change the lids to others or insert the rubber bands into these lids. Shake the contents of the container lightly to release the air.

Microwave cans sterilization process

Pour water into each jar, about 2 cm. If this is not done, they may burst. Now we put the container on the dish in the microwave. At 900 W, only three minutes are enough.

How long does it take to sterilize jars, depending on the volume: we do everything right

Time is an indicator of the readiness of the container for use. To underestimate the jar means that microorganisms have a good chance to survive and do their dirty work in the future. If you overdo it, the bank will easily burst. How to be?
