Lately, for chutney and pickle, I've been washing them out, then in
the oven whilst I chop and cook stuff. No casualties reported.

When I was canning pear, tomato, other stuff, with less salt, vingar,
sugar, I had the idea that cooking in the jar was essential. Dragged
that giant pot and wire rack down from the attic.

There're people that know better than me.
