FAQs

Are these containers truly leakproof?

Yes, the lids are designed to be airtight and leakproof, making them suitable for transporting meals with sauces or liquids. However, for maximum security with very runny liquids, it's always best to carry them upright.

Can I use these containers for hot foods?

Yes, they are microwave-safe for reheating food. Allow steam to escape by slightly lifting the lid or leaving it ajar during microwaving.

What is the temperature range for these containers?

They are safe for use in the microwave (for reheating) and in the freezer. Avoid exposing them to extreme direct heat sources outside of microwave reheating.

How do I clean these containers?

They are dishwasher-safe, making cleaning convenient. You can also wash them by hand with warm, soapy water.

Are these containers suitable for storing baby food?

Yes, as they are made from BPA-free plastic, they are a safe option for storing baby food.

Can I bake in these containers?

No, these containers are not oven-safe. They are designed for microwave reheating, freezer storage, and general food storage.

What are the dimensions of the 650ml container?

While specific dimensions are not provided, they are designed to be stackable and fit standard refrigerator shelves and lunch bags.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to close or seal

Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and dry. Align the lid carefully and press down firmly around the edges to create a seal.

Container is stained

For minor stains, try washing with baking soda and water. For stubborn stains, soaking in a mild bleach solution (follow safety guidelines) might help, or consider using the container for less staining foods.

Container cracked or warped after microwave use

Ensure the lid is not fully sealed during microwaving to allow steam to escape. Do not overheat food for excessively long periods. Check for damage and discontinue use if significant. Microwaving times can vary; start with shorter intervals.

Food appears to leak from the lid

Double-check that the lid is correctly aligned and pressed down firmly on all sides. Ensure no food particles are obstructing the seal. For very liquidy foods, consider carrying them upright.
