Can I put glass canning jars on tray to defrost?

Turn the jar upside down so the metal lid is touching the tray. Metal to metal conducts heat faster than metal to glass.

I have not tried that specifically however I believe the answer is yes. It should defrost even through the glass and likely speed the defrost process without affecting the contents

You can but I don't think it will defrost like you want it to as it has to go through the glass as well as the item to defrost. The way the plate works is since it is alum, and a good heat conductor which also means a removal of heat. When you place something on it (usually meat) the plate removes the heat. With a glass jar, the cold would have to go through the glass then to the plate. Glass is a good pass through but not nearly as good as not having it. Another layer of cold/heat to penetrate. Hope this helps.

You could put ice under it, but the tray wouldn't fit in the glass bottom. I suppose you could freeze the bottom and then use it outdoors, but don't count on it keeping the food cold for very long. I really like this, but it isn't made for putting anything under it.

Can I use this on jars or bottles (plastic and glass) for use with Holiday gifts? Thanks.

Yes...the glass drinking jars use standard lids. Be careful of the plastic glasses...the lids are not standard.

Yes. We almost always defrost with the lids on, especially if the food has been frozen and the food expanded. I then remove the lid once the food is nearly done and do a final bit of time without it.

Don't see why not. The glass is certainly thick enough, you may have to replace the lid gasket, but the jar should be great for cooled oils.

Yes! Small freezer to make ice. Freezer does have to be defrosted too! Sorry answer so late in being sent.

I would not freeze these bottles. Some glass canning jars are made specifically to withstand freezing. I don't remember anything stating these could be used in the freezer so I wouldn't.Edit: Now that I think about a bit. I did make some infused vodkas that I kept in the freezer without any problems. FWIW

No. This is a canner for processing jars of canned produce. It replaces a water bath canner.

Yes, with cautions.Leave plenty of headroom for freezing items to expand and don't overfill. Don't change temperatures suddenly. I only put the food in the freezer from room temperature, and I don't heat suddenly.I feel a little more secure with these in the freezer than thinner jars, but a broken glass would not surprise me at all.

You must use a basket like this or a rack to process your jars when canning. The water needs to be able to circulate around the entire jar, including the bottom of the jar. If you put the jars directly in your pot without a rack or basket the water can't move around under the jars and they won't process correctly.

Hello, Yes this item defrosts jarred food that has been frozen. You may have to start the process over a couple of times to get it up to the desired temperature. Fits all size bottles and jars including regular, angled, disposable and wide mouth.

I wouldn't. I did it with another one and it broke. Fnd the silicone long and skinny ice trays. They work for it or crushed ice.

No, you don't put water in the trays. The trays sit on top of a warming surface. You will want to make sure you don't leave the food in the trays so long that they dry out....but if you keep the lids on while they are warming you should be fine.

No..I wouldn't use them for canning. The pink color would come off. I don't know if they sell ones that you are looking for.

I freeze jars all the time. As long as you leave head room for expansion there shouldn't be a problem. Also, no huge temp changes! I wouldn't put hot leftovers in a jar, seal it, and freeze it. Nor take a frozen something out to the microwave or oven. As long as you have decent quality canning jars, they survive well!

Pretty simple, actually. Just lay whatever frozen (unpackaged) items you want to thaw on the tray and wait.
