Is the bamboo lid treated or sealed?

Can I store other items besides pasta in this canister?
While designed for dried pasta, it can be used for other dry goods like flour or rice. However, it is not suitable for moist foods or fine powders that might compromise the seal.
Troubleshooting
Lid not sealing properly
Ensure the rim of the canister and the underside of the lid are clean and free from debris. Check that the bamboo lid is not warped; if so, it may need conditioning or replacement.
Cream coating shows scratches
Minor scratches may occur with normal use. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools. For deeper scratches, consider it part of the product's character or explore touch-up paint if available for coated metals.
Interior smells of previous contents
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and ensure it is completely dry. For persistent odors, try filling the canister with baking soda and water overnight, then rinse and dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The canister requires no assembly. Upon receiving it, ensure it is clean before filling. Simply remove the lid and fill with your preferred dried pasta.
Compatibility: This canister is specifically designed for dried pasta, particularly long varieties like spaghetti, due to its height and diameter. It is not recommended for storing moist foods, fine grains, or items that require vacuum sealing.
Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Typhoon Living pasta storage canister:
- Hand Wash Only: The canister and lid should be washed by hand using warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the coating.
- Dry Thoroughly: Ensure both the canister and the bamboo lid are completely dry before refilling or reassembling to prevent mildew or damage to the bamboo.
- Lid Maintenance: Periodically, you may wish to apply a food-safe mineral oil to the bamboo lid to keep it conditioned and prevent it from drying out or cracking. Wipe off any excess oil.
