FAQs
What material is the Cooksmart Homestead canister made from?
The canister is made from high-quality ceramic stoneware, and the lid features a bamboo etching.
How should I clean the bamboo lid?
The bamboo lid should be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water and dried thoroughly. Avoid soaking it.
Is this canister suitable for storing liquids?
No, this canister is designed for dry food items only. The seal is intended to protect dry goods from moisture, not to contain liquids.
Can I put this canister in the dishwasher?
No, the canister and lid are not dishwasher safe. They must be hand-washed.
What is the capacity of the canister?
The dimensions are 10.5 x 12.5cm, offering a generous capacity suitable for various dry goods.
Does the airtight seal fully prevent spoilage?
The airtight seal significantly extends freshness by protecting contents from air and moisture, but it does not halt the natural spoilage process indefinitely. It is best used for items with a reasonable shelf life.
What is the weight of the canister?
The canister weighs approximately 0.641kg (641 grams).
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to remove or seal properly.
Ensure the silicone seal is clean and properly seated on the lid. Check for any debris or dried food particles. If the bamboo lid has warped slightly due to moisture, ensure it is completely dry and try again.
Canister has developed a stain or odor.
Handwash the canister with mild soap and warm water. For stubborn stains or odors, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the affected area, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Small chips or cracks appear on the ceramic.
Minor chips are cosmetic and do not typically affect function if they do not compromise the seal. However, if significant cracks appear, discontinue use as the integrity of the storage may be compromised.
