How To – sterilise jars

hi I’m Pete from Jamie’s food team and
I’m going to show you how to sterilized
jars now this selection of jars here
I’ve washed thoroughly left to drain
upside down with the lids on a clean tea
towel so they’re as clean as I can get
them before sterilization I’ve got
myself here an aluminium tray can be any
old metal tray as long as it goes in the
oven that’s fine I’m going to take my
jars place them on the tray not touching
each other and then I’m going to pop
this tray in a preheated oven at 180
degrees so the trains go in the oven so
the jars go in the oven at 180 degrees
for 10 minutes know the lids obviously
need to be sterilized to no point in
sterilizing the jar and not the lid so
I’m going to pop these in a pan full of
boiling water for about the same amount
of time
nothing else in here
apart from water turn upside down to the
sink there after 10 minutes I’m going to
take my tray of jars out of the oven the
nice and hot and sterilized I’m going to
pop them here and they’re ready to be
filled with Jam pickle chutney whatever
you whatever you’re making I put my
clean dish towel there and out of the
water with my tongs
I’m going to pick my sterilized lids and
pop them upside down onto my clean tea
towel so here my clean hot sterilized
jam jars and here I have my lids which
are sterilized and ready to be screwed
on the top it’s very important to clean
your jam jars and make them as sterile
as possible
before you fill them with anything to
make sure that there’s no organism no
nasty bug in there that’s going to make
people sick when they eat whatever you
put inside and that’s how to sterilize
jars
