FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What types of jars and canisters does Chef’s Hat stock?

Chef’s Hat carries a broad range of glass storage solutions including clip-top glass canisters, screw-lid storage jars, mason jars for preserving, large glass jars for bulk ingredients, and glass jars with glass tops. Our range spans various sizes from small condiment and spice jars through to large canisters suited to storing flour, sugar, rice, and other bulk pantry staples. Both single units and multi-piece sets are available to suit commercial and home storage needs.

What are glass jars and canisters used for in commercial kitchens?

In commercial kitchens, glass jars and canisters serve multiple purposes: dry ingredient storage for spices, grains, and pulses; food preservation for house-made pickles, jams, sauces, and ferments; counter and shelf display at café and deli serveries; and mise en place organisation for prep stations. Glass is a preferred material in professional environments because it is non-reactive, odour-resistant, easy to sanitise, and allows staff to identify contents at a glance without opening containers.

What is the difference between mason jars and general glass storage jars?

Mason jars - sometimes called canning jars or preserving jars - feature a two-part metal lid (a flat disc and a screw band) designed to create an airtight vacuum seal when processed in a water bath or pressure canner, making them the standard choice for home preserving and canning in Australia. General glass storage jars typically use a hinged clip-top lid with a rubber gasket, a cork, or a simple screw cap, which keeps contents fresh for everyday pantry use but is not designed for heat-processing preservation. Both styles are food safe; the right choice depends on whether you need shelf-stable preserved goods or everyday accessible storage.
