Sterilization of jars in the oven with blanks

Sterilizing jars in the oven is a favorite and proven method of many housewives. Thanks to him, you do not need to stand near a huge pot of water and be afraid that some jar will burst again. To date, most have already switched to more modern methods of sterilization and are very pleased with the results. Let’s look at how to properly sterilize not only empty jars, but also containers with blanks.

Sterilization of jars in the oven

It is very convenient and easy to sterilize empty jars in the oven. And it doesn’t matter what size they are. The oven can hold more containers than a microwave or pot. Some housewives also sterilize metal lids in this way.

The jars are first washed and turned over on a dry towel to drain the water. Then the container is laid out on a baking sheet upside down. You can also put the jars simply on the grate. The oven is turned on immediately before the container is placed in it. Or immediately after you put the jars inside.

Immediately after the oven has heated up to the required temperature, it is necessary to note the time. For half-liter jars, it will take at least 10 minutes, liter containers are sterilized for about 15 minutes, two-liter ones are left in the oven for 20 minutes, and three-liter ones for half an hour. Next to the jars, you can put the necessary lids. But they should not have any rubber parts on them.

Many consider this method of sterilization the most convenient. But what if, according to the recipe, it is required to warm the jars with the workpiece? Even in this case, the oven can help you out. Below you will see how to do it right.

Sterilization of blanks in the oven

As in the previous case, the jars should be washed in water with detergent and soda. Then they are dried on a towel so that the water is completely glass. After that, ready-made salad or jam is poured into the container. The processing of such rolls is as follows:

1. The container can be placed both in a cold and in a slightly warm oven.
2. It is laid out on a prepared baking sheet or on the grate itself.

   

3. On top of each container is covered with a metal lid. They are simply placed on top without twisting.
4. Set the temperature to 120°C.
5. After the oven warms up to the desired temperature, you need to keep the container inside for the required time. You need to note the time from the moment when bubbles begin to appear on the surface. The recipe should indicate exactly how much to process the workpiece. If it does not contain such information, then the blanks are sterilized as much as the empty container.
6. Next, you need to carefully remove the rolls from the oven. To do this, be sure to use kitchen gloves and towels. The container must be held with two hands. After that, seaming is placed on a dry towel. If it is even a little wet, then the jar may crack from the temperature difference.

How to sterilize lids

First of all, you need to inspect the covers for any damage. Unusable lids are thrown away, and good ones are left for further processing. You can do this in different ways. Some housewives simply put them in the oven along with the jars. Others find it best to just simmer them in a small saucepan.

So, you can process the covers in any way convenient for you. The main thing is to withstand the necessary time. Whether you boil the lids or keep them in the oven, you need to take them out very carefully. To do this, use kitchen tongs, which are used for meat.

Things to Consider

For the whole process to be successful, you need to remember some rules:

1. You can heat the container at different temperatures, from 100 to 200 degrees. The exposure time of the cans must be changed depending on the temperature regime, if the temperature is high, then the time is reduced accordingly.
2. You need to be very careful when removing the container from the oven. Also, it can not be kept indoors for a long time after that. Ready preservation for the winter is immediately poured into hot jars. If the container cools down, it may burst from the temperature drop.
3. For cold seams, containers, on the contrary, must first be cooled, and only then filled with contents.

Some people think that the lids should not be heated in the oven. Also, for these purposes, in no case should you use a microwave. It is best to simply boil them in water for 15 minutes. But jars can be sterilized in a microwave oven. It is no less convenient than in the oven. And the most important advantage of such methods is that there will be no fumes in the room. You will feel comfortable and not tired at all, as you will not breathe heavy humid air.
