Product Information

Full details

The SPARES2GO 1480ml Vacuum Food Storage Glass Container is designed for home cooks and busy professionals who want to extend the shelf life of their ingredients and reduce food waste. Its standout benefit is the integrated manual vacuum sealing system, which effectively removes air to prevent oxidation and maintain freshness for significantly longer than standard containers. While the glass construction makes it durable and stain-resistant, users should note that the specialized lid and manual pump mechanism require careful handling compared to basic plastic alternatives.

FAQs

Can I put the glass container in the microwave?

Yes, the glass container is suitable for microwave use, but always remove the lid first.

Is the lid dishwasher safe?

It is recommended to hand wash the lid to protect the vacuum valve and the integrity of the date tracking dial.

How do I know when the vacuum is fully sealed?

You will feel a significant increase in resistance on the hand pump once the majority of air has been evacuated.

Can this container be used in the freezer?

Yes, the glass is designed to handle cold temperatures, making it suitable for freezer storage.

Does the container come with the pump?

Yes, every unit includes the manual hand pump required to activate the vacuum sealing function.

How do I release the vacuum seal?

Typically, you should gently lift the central valve or tab on the lid to allow air back into the container before attempting to unlatch the clips.

Troubleshooting

Container will not hold a vacuum seal

Check the rubber gasket for debris or food particles. Clean it thoroughly and ensure it is seated evenly before closing the lid.

Pump is hard to use or does not create suction

Inspect the valve on the lid to ensure it is clean. If the pump feels stiff, ensure the lid clips are firmly locked first.

Date dial is difficult to turn

Do not force the dial. If it becomes stuck, gently clean around the edges to remove any residue that may be preventing movement.

  • Significantly extends food freshness via vacuum seal
  • High-capacity 1480ml volume
  • 100% leak-proof lid design
  • Durable, stain-resistant glass build
  • Built-in date tracking dial for inventory management

Cons

  • Requires more physical effort than standard snap-lock lids

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your container, place your food inside and snap the lid clips securely into the closed position. Attach the manual hand pump to the valve on the lid and pump until you feel resistance, indicating that the air has been removed. When ready to open, ensure you release the vacuum pressure before trying to unclip the lid. For cleaning, hand wash the lid and the sealing ring to preserve the integrity of the vacuum valve. The glass base is generally dishwasher safe, but verify that the lid is kept away from extreme heat to avoid damaging the date dial and rubber seals.
