Product Information
Full details
The Lock & Lock Round Food Container is designed for home cooks and meal preppers who prioritize food freshness and leak-proof storage. It provides the ultimate benefit of an airtight and liquid-tight seal, ensuring that soups, sauces, and dry goods remain secure during transport or storage. While its round shape is ideal for circular items and efficient stacking, users should note that it may occupy more shelf space than rectangular alternatives when arranging multiple containers in square refrigerator compartments.

FAQs
Is this container BPA-free?
Lock & Lock products are generally manufactured using food-grade, BPA-free materials.
Can I put the container in the oven?
No, this container is intended for microwave, fridge, and freezer use only. Do not place it in a conventional or toaster oven.
How do I prevent staining from red sauces?
While the plastic is high-quality, rinsing the container with cold water immediately after use and washing it promptly can help minimize staining from pigmented foods.
What should I do if the silicone seal comes off?
The silicone seal is removable for cleaning purposes. Simply press it firmly back into the channel on the inside of the lid to restore the airtight seal.
Are these containers stackable?
Yes, the lids are designed to allow stable stacking in your fridge or cupboard, though round containers are best stacked directly on top of one another.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels difficult to lock
Ensure the silicone seal is properly seated in the lid groove and that there is no food residue on the rim of the container.
Lid is stuck after freezer use
Run the container under lukewarm water for a few seconds to allow the plastic and seal to expand slightly.
Stubborn stains or odors
Create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the affected area, let it sit for a few hours, then wash thoroughly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior leak-proof locking mechanism
- Versatile use from freezer to microwave
- Easy to clean and dishwasher safe
- Transparent design for quick content identification
Cons
- Round shape is less space-efficient than square containers
- May stain if used with highly acidic or turmeric-based sauces
- Lid clips require firm pressure to snap securely
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your container, always verify that the silicone seal inside the lid is clean and correctly seated before snapping the clips shut. If the seal becomes dislodged, simply press it back into the groove. When using the container in a dishwasher, it is generally recommended to place the lid on the top rack to avoid extreme heat fluctuations. Avoid using abrasive sponges or metal scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface and harbor bacteria. While freezer-safe, allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before closing the lid and placing the container in the freezer to prevent warping.
