No, these containers are not suitable for use in traditional or convection ovens.
What is the exact volume?

Will these leak if I store soup?

Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to snap on.
Ensure the container rim is clean and free of food debris. If the plastic is very cold, let it reach room temperature for easier closure.
Container has persistent food odor.
Soak the tub in a mixture of warm water and vinegar or baking soda for 30 minutes, then wash with mild detergent.
Lid feels loose.
Check the rim of the container for any small cracks or dents. If the plastic has warped, avoid placing it in the dishwasher's bottom rack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Caroline tubs, always ensure the lid is fully snapped into position by pressing down on all four corners. When using in the microwave, it is recommended to leave the lid slightly ajar to prevent pressure buildup. For cleaning, while the tubs are dishwasher-safe, placing them on the top rack is recommended to prevent warping from high-heat elements. To remove stubborn odors or slight stains, soaking the container in a solution of warm water and baking soda for several hours before washing is highly effective.
