Cleaning honey extractors

[Newbeeneil]

I wash them, hot wash, in the dishwasher, and use them once cooled, assume that's fine, given food is prepared and served on plates cleaned in a dishwasher.

Tonight I decided that my normal procedure of inverting jars in the oven at 100deg for 15 mins is not adequate after finding this.



I will be preparing all jars by a hot wash in the dish washer from now on.

That must be it. Still, the packs of jars are well sealed and I don't have to take the lids off.

How do you get the honey in?

How do you get the honey in?

punch a hole in the lid and squirt it in?

How do you get the honey in?

Open the pack. Take jars out, clean and dry them. Fill the jars. Screw the lids on. What's the problem?

No need to damage the lid, logic says use virtual honey .

The mistake was inverting the jars ! They need to be upright to allow the water vapour to escape .

No they were on a wire shelf. Vapour can escape. I would guess the damage occurred in the factory or in the box during transit.

Hope you found it prior to filling

No, it was only when honey flooded over the scales I noticed the damage.
