• Completely transparent glass. Beautiful, practical and durable. Glass is the ideal material for preserving all of your latest concoctions. Why? How? You'll soon find out. Glass: beautiful on the outside, and transparent so that your finest preserves are a feast for the eyes too. Glass also enables you to check the contents of your jar at a glance. Naturally chic, it is no coincidence that it is used as a vessel for the most noble of products: glass lets your recipes shine naturally. A great addition to your interior décor too. Healthy, pure and 100 % natural, glass is the best known packaging for preserving food. Completely neutral, it does not alter the flavours. Add to that its impermeability, which allows for perfect, long-term conservation. On top of that, you will be using the only material that is internationally recognised as secure, durable and neutral. The opinion of nutritionist Dr Annie La Cuisse Chabeau: "From a nutritional point of view, jars have the advantage of storing food while keeping it virtually entirely intact. A product from a jar keeps the same flavours and properties as a fresh product. Wherever you are in the world, when you open a jar, all the nutrients and trace elements from the day that the product was made remain present. There will, however, obviously be a little bit less vitamin C because it is extremely fragile. But from a nutritional point of view, it is extremely similar to a fresh fruit or vegetable. To sum up: use jars, they're good for your health!"It's also environmentally friendly. Glass is made from three natural elements: sand, sodium carbonate and lime carbonate. So it is the only 100 % recyclable packaging material, and can last forever without losing its quality. Result: less energy and natural resources are used. This is vital in this day and age, as we need to limit the amount of waste that we produce. Recycling glass allows you to reduce your household waste by almost 50 %. These Le Parfait jars are designed to last for years. They are secure, too. The jars remain completely secure throughout their life cycle. According to health authorities, glass is the only material that is in no way harmful, and this has been the case for over 3,000 years. As a result of its natural origins, it is recognised as the safest of all packaging materials.
• Stage 1: prepare your Le Parfait jars, wash them and let them dry in the open air (ensure that you have completely clean hands).Check that your jars are in good condition. Ensure that none of the surfaces have any chips, scratches or any form of residue stuck to them. Clean the jars and their lids with warm water and disinfectant, or using one dessert spoon of bleach added to one litre of water. Avoid accidentally banging the jars together. Do not use a metallic or abrasive sponge to wash your jars. After washing, rinse the jars thoroughly with hot water, then allow them to dry in the open – do not wipe them. Step 2: choose clean and fresh ingredients. Choose your ingredients carefully. The ingredients that you have decided to preserve must be perfectly fresh, clean and suitable for preserving. Never use frozen products or ingredients, or those which have be defrosted. When preparing the fruit or vegetables, ensure that you do not allow peeled food to come into contact with waste, such as peelings and leaves. Stage 3: cook your ingredients. Prepare the ingredients that you wish to preserve. Vegetables should be blanched if required. With poultry, all innards must be removed, and the interior must be washed with running water. Keep to the instructions in your recipe. All food preparation must be continuous with no time wasted. Stage 4: fill your Le Parfait jars. Whenever the product and its preparation method allows, fill the jars when the mixture is as hot as possible, even boiling. Fill up to the maximum level marked on the jar, or up to 2 cm below the rim. Then wait a few minutes to ensure that your mixture has settled correctly, removing any air pockets. Top up if necessary. Stage 5: Close your Le Parfait jars. Before closing them, ensure that you use a new Le Parfait rubber washer that is specially adapted to your jar. Le Parfait's accessories are specially designed to adapt to your jars. Warm the washers before placing them on the lids. Ensure that the rim of your jar is completely clean before closing it. Any particles trapped between the washer and the jar could lead to your conserves being spoiled. Finally, close the jar and proceed immediately to thermal treatment if the recipe so requires. Preservation methods differ depending on the recipe. Some may require the use of vinegar, oil or salt as preservatives – thermal treatment may not be necessary. In all cases, follow the recipe instructions to the letter. Stage 6: thermal treatment. Put a clean cloth in the bottom of your pressure cooker to prevent the glass and the metal coming into direct contact with each other. Fill it with hot water and place it onto the heat source. As soon as the water starts to simmer, immerse your jars, making sure that you do not burn yourself. Your jars must be standing up with the lids at the top. Prop them up, either against each other or using empty jars without lids. Fill your pressure cooker with more water: the jars must be completely submerged. Close the pressure cooker so that it is airtight. You can start to count the time indicated on the recipe from the moment that the valve starts releasing steam. Adhere strictly to the time stated: this guarantees risk-free conservation. Once the time has elapsed, remove the pressure cooker from the heat source. Allow it to cool down naturally, without opening the lid. Do not move the valve while the pressure cooker is cooling, and do not use cold water on the sides of the pressure cooker to cool it: the jars are under pressure, and a sudden change in temperature could cause them to open. Once the pressure cooker has cooled down, open it, take your jars out and store them in a cool, dry, dark place. Stage 7: check and store your conserves. Once the jars have cooled down completely, make sure that the space inside is as it should be by unblocking the closure system. The lid must remain "stuck" to the jar, and should be able to resist being pulled. For Le Parfait Super jars, if the lid does not remain stuck on when the closing system in unblocked, this could be due to: Incorrect filling (too much or too little). Incomplete thermal treatment: too little time and/or too low a temperature. The jar is not watertight: there could be a chip or blemish on the rim or the lid.- You have used a washer that is too old, worn, deteriorated, or one that is of an unsuitable model or format. Restart thermal treatment using another washer. For Le Parfait Familial Wiss terrines, proceed with the same step but unscrew the lid. The cap must be stuck firmly to the terrine and must be able to resist being pulled. If the cap is not stuck firmly to the terrine, restart thermal treatment using a new cap. To preserve your ingredients for several months, do not re-block the mechanism on Le Parfait Super jars. Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Stage 8: open your jars. Before opening the jars, ensure that the empty space is still there by proceeding in the same manner as Stage 7. For Le Parfait Super jars or terrines, if the lid is not stuck firmly on once the closure system has been unblocked, or if you have any doubt about the state of conservation, do not consume the contents, even to taste them. Only adults should open the jars. Pull on the flap of the washer in such a way as to penetrate the air in the Le Parfait Super jar or terrine, and the lid will come off. For easier opening, it is recommended that you use the Le Parfait washer puller designed especially for this purpose.
