same size.
3Jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins are not suitable.

Tips on Preserving
Use the all-purpose tray for preserving. There is enough room on this
for up to six 1-litre preserving jars.
The preserving jars should all be filled to the same level and clamped
shut.
Place the preserving jars on the all-purpose tray in such a way that
they are not touching each other.
