FAQs
Are these containers truly leak-proof?
Yes, the premium quality airtight lids are designed to seal tightly, making them leak-proof for most common foods. However, for liquids that could slosh heavily, it's always best practice to keep containers upright during transport.
Can I use these containers for hot liquids?
While they are safe for reheating food in the microwave, they are not designed for carrying boiling hot liquids, as extreme heat can affect the seal and material over time. For hot foods, ensure the lid is vented or slightly ajar during initial heating.
What is the exact volume of this container?
This specific container has a volume of 32 fluid ounces.
How should I clean these containers?
They are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended). For maximum longevity, hand washing with mild soap and water is advised.
Are these containers stackable?
Yes, the round design allows for efficient stacking in refrigerators and cupboards, especially when lids are securely fastened.
What is the warranty period for these containers?
Information on specific warranty periods is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's website for warranty information.
Can I buy replacement lids?
Replacement lids are not explicitly mentioned in the product details. You may need to contact ECONX customer support or check with retailers for availability.
Troubleshooting
Lid not sealing properly
Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and dry. Press down firmly around the entire edge of the lid until you hear or feel a secure click.
Container warped after microwave use
Ensure the lid is loosened or removed before microwaving. Overheating without proper venting can cause warping. Allow food to cool slightly before reheating.
Difficulty opening a cold container
Allow the container to come to room temperature for a few minutes, or run the lid under warm water briefly. This can help release the vacuum seal.
Staining from certain foods
Some intensely colored foods (like tomato sauce or curry) may cause slight staining over time. Wash immediately after use and consider hand washing if staining is a concern.
