Jars & Canisters
Jars and canisters are great for storage and for keeping food fresh, and they can look amazing, too. From mason jars to tin canisters, Kmart has a range of kitchen storage solutions to choose from.
Glass jars and canisters for an organised pantry
Keep pantry staples easy to see and reach with glass jars and canisters for everyday kitchen storage. Glass jars can be used to organise suitable dry goods such as pasta, rice, cereal, flour, sugar, baking ingredients, snacks and other pantry essentials. Their clear design makes it easy to check what is inside and see when supplies are running low. Choose jar sizes around what you regularly store, then check the individual product information for capacity, lid style and suitability for your intended use.
Choose glass jars for different pantry staples
Think about the ingredient before choosing your jar. Larger glass jars may suit pantry staples you keep in greater quantities, while smaller jars can help organise baking ingredients, snacks or other items you use in smaller amounts. A wider opening can also make ingredients easier to scoop or pour, depending on how you use them.
For a wider pantry refresh, browse pantry storage for organisers and containers that can work alongside your jars and canisters.
Make pantry ingredients easier to find
Group glass jars by purpose to make everyday cooking simpler. Keep baking ingredients together, create a breakfast section for suitable cereals and grains, or organise pasta, rice and other frequently used dry ingredients in one area. Labels can help identify similar-looking ingredients and make it easier for everyone at home to put things back in the right place.
Store and care for glass jars
Measure your pantry shelves before choosing taller or larger jars, leaving enough room to comfortably remove lids and access the contents. Keep heavier glass jars on suitable, stable shelves where they are easy to handle.
Before filling a jar, check that the individual product is suitable for the food or item you intend to store. Follow the supplied instructions for washing, drying, lids, seals and dishwasher use. For leftovers and other food storage needs, explore food storage containers.
