Ils sont stérilisés, remplis d’aliments chauds, puis scellés hermétiquement pour conserver la fraîcheur.
3. Stockage alimentaire : Outre la mise en conserve, les bocaux Mason sont utilisés pour le stockage à long terme d’ingrédients secs, de céréales, de légumineuses, de grains, de mélanges pour gâteaux, de bonbons, et même pour les boissons comme les smoothies.
