How Do You Sterilize Jars With Dry Heat?
Jars make wonderful storage spaces for many items: spare change, knick-knacks and other small objects can be stored in these containers. You can also store food and drink in these jars, and this requires some preparation. If you intend to store food and drink in jars, the jars must be sterilized to kill all germs and bacteria that could infect your meals. Applying intense dry heat to these jars will kill bacteria and keep your food safe. Preheat your oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Place jars and lids into the oven and allow them to bake for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat in the oven and leave the jars in there to gradually cool. If possible, leave your jars in the warm oven until you are ready to fill them, so there is no way they can be contaminated between sterilizing and filling.
