Tradition and innovation since 1895

Weck was founded by Johann Weck, the inventor of the ingenious sealing system with glass lids, rubber rings, and metal clips – a system still in use today. It revolutionised home preservation, making it possible to store food safely and naturally without metal or plastic. In Germany, “einwecken” has even become synonymous with preserving – proof of the brand’s iconic status.

Our range includes everything you need for modern preservation and storage, while honouring traditional methods. Weck combines classic craftsmanship with today’s focus on sustainability and aesthetics.

Sustainable glass for every occasion

Weck jars are made from durable, recyclable glass that neither absorbs taste nor odour and can be reused countless times. The iconic lids with rubber rings provide an airtight seal, and the jars are dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Whether you’re preserving fruit, storing dry goods, or serving desserts, Weck ensures a beautiful and practical result.

The many different shapes – from tulip jars to cylindrical and decorative serving jars – make it easy to find a solution for any purpose. Weck jars are not only functional but stylish enough to adorn shelves, gift baskets, and dining tables.

Professional quality for kitchens and catering

Weck is widely used in the hospitality and catering industries, where quality and durability are essential. The glass solutions are ideal for serving, storing, and presenting food, while contributing to sustainable operations without single-use plastics. With over 3,000 variations, Weck offers flexible options to suit any kitchen environment.

FAQ

What can I use Weck jars for?
Weck jars are perfect for preserving, storage, serving, and decoration. They are suitable for both hot and cold foods and are safe for use in microwaves and dishwashers.

Are Weck jars reusable?
Yes, all Weck jars can be reused countless times. The glass lids and metal clips last for years, while the rubber rings should be replaced with each preservation to ensure a tight seal.

How do I achieve an airtight seal?
To seal properly, use Weck’s original system with glass lid, rubber ring, and metal clips, then heat-process the jar. As it cools, a natural vacuum forms to create an airtight seal.

Can Weck jars be used in the freezer?
Yes, certain models – such as the Mold Jar and Mini Mold Jar – can be used in the freezer when fitted with Weck’s “Keep Fresh” lids, leaving about 2–3 cm of space for expansion.

How can I prevent the jars from breaking?
Avoid sudden temperature changes. Allow hot jars to cool gradually, and never place cold jars directly in hot water or an oven. This prevents thermal shock and cracking.
