FAQs
Are these containers truly reusable?
These containers are designed for multiple uses, particularly for meal prep and regular storage. However, due to their nature as food-grade plastic, they are best suited for single or limited reuse in demanding environments like extensive takeaway services to maintain optimal performance and safety.
Can I use these containers in an oven?
No, these containers are not oven-safe. They are designed for microwave reheating, freezer storage, and general food storage at ambient temperatures.
What does BPA-free mean?
BPA-free means the plastic does not contain Bisphenol A, an industrial chemical that has raised health concerns. Using BPA-free containers ensures that no harmful chemicals leach into your food.
How should I dispose of these containers responsibly?
Check your local recycling guidelines. While some plastics are recyclable, these containers may be better suited for disposal if they are heavily scratched or damaged, or if local recycling programs do not accept this type of plastic.
Are the lids interchangeable with different sizes?
The lids are designed to fit the specific size of the container they come with (750ml in this case). They are not interchangeable with different volume containers.
Can I buy replacement lids?
Replacement lids are not typically sold separately for this bulk pack. If a lid is lost or damaged, you may need to purchase a new set of containers.
What is the temperature range for these containers?
These containers are suitable for use from freezing temperatures up to microwave reheating temperatures. Avoid exposure to extreme heat sources or temperatures significantly above boiling point.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not fit securely
Ensure the container rim and lid edges are clean and dry. Press down firmly around the entire rim to create a seal. If the lid or container is warped, try gently warming it or replacing it.
Container cracked after freezing/microwaving
Avoid extreme temperature shock. Allow frozen food to thaw partially before microwaving. Ensure the container is not exposed to temperatures beyond its specified limits. Check for manufacturing defects.
Food stains on the container
For stubborn stains, try soaking the container in a mixture of warm water and baking soda for a few hours before washing. Avoid storing highly staining foods (like tomato sauce) for extended periods, especially in the microwave.
