Meghan Markle<\/strong> was called out by fans for misusing a kitchen gadget as she promoted her latest product launch.<\/p>\n On October 3, Meghan, 44, quietly debuted a collection of jams on her lifestyle website, As Ever<\/a>. However, it was the way she was holding the jar lifter<\/a> that really had people talking.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s obviously NEVER canned! How could she not understand the slippery wooden handles aren\u2019t for holding the jars???\u201d one critic commented on Reddit<\/a> after photos showed the duchess holding the item upside down.<\/p>\n \u201cAnyone else thinking that that pot isn\u2019t even hot?\u201d another questioned.<\/p>\n A third added, \u201cThis woman has no idea what she\u2018s doing!\u201d<\/p>\n Others voiced concern for Meghan as the misuse could be dangerous.<\/p>\n \u201cThis can actually be dangerous. Boiling water, steam, hot jar contents and potentially broken glass are nothing to play around with,\u201d a fourth user wrote.<\/p>\n The relaunch of her jam collection was timed with the debut of her namesake wine.<\/p>\n \u201cWe heard you missed us. We\u2019re back\u2026and we brought a friend,\u201d she captioned an October 3 Instagram<\/a> post about the launch.<\/p>\n As Ever was formerly known as American Riviera Orchard before rebranding in Spring 2025. The product line includes a curated collection of jams, teas, wines and \u201ca collection of products, each inspired by her long-lasting love of cooking, entertaining, and hostessing with ease.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/staging.starmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Featured-1-meghan-markle-.jpeg\")
