FAQs
Are these containers truly reusable multiple times?
Yes, they are designed and manufactured for repeated use. Their durable polypropylene material and robust lid design allow them to withstand numerous cycles of washing, heating, and freezing.
What does 'BPA Free' mean for my food?
BPA (Bisphenol A) is a chemical that can leach into food from some plastics. 'BPA Free' means these containers do not contain this chemical, ensuring safer storage for your food.
Can I use these containers in an oven?
No, these containers are not suitable for use in conventional ovens or on stovetops. They are designed for microwave reheating, refrigeration, and freezing.
How do I best dispose of these containers when I no longer need them?
These containers are made from a mono-polymer that can be fully recycled. Check with your local recycling facilities for specific guidelines on recycling polypropylene (PP) plastics.
Will the lids remain leak-proof after many washes?
The lids are designed to maintain their leak-proof qualities through multiple uses and washes. However, like any reusable item, consistent care and avoiding extreme conditions will help preserve their sealing performance.
What is the volume of these containers in ounces?
Each 1000ml container holds approximately 35.20 fluid ounces.
Can I buy replacement lids if I lose one?
Information regarding the purchase of replacement lids is not available in the product description. Please refer to the manufacturer's website or customer service for such inquiries.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to seal or appears loose.
Ensure the rim of the container and the inside of the lid are clean and dry. Align the lid carefully and press firmly around all edges. If the lid has been subjected to extreme heat, it may have slightly deformed; allow it to cool completely and try again. For persistent issues after many uses, consider replacing the lid.
Container shows signs of discoloration or minor scratching.
Light discoloration from certain foods is normal for plastic containers and does not affect functionality. Minor scratches can occur with regular use; this is cosmetic and does not compromise the container's integrity. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools that can exacerbate scratching.
Container retains odors after washing.
Soak the container in a mixture of baking soda and water for several hours or overnight. Ensure the container is thoroughly rinsed and completely dry before storing.
Container cracked or warped after microwave or freezer use.
Ensure the container is placed correctly in the microwave, avoiding direct contact with heating elements if applicable. Do not exceed recommended reheating times. For freezer use, ensure food is cooled before freezing to minimize thermal shock. Inspect container for damage before subsequent use.
