FAQs
Is the biscuit tin dishwasher safe?
The enamel body should be hand washed. The bamboo lid is strictly for wiping clean only and should never be placed in a dishwasher.
What are the exact dimensions of the tin?
The tin is 16.5cm in diameter and 19cm in height.
Can I store other items besides biscuits?
Yes, it is excellent for storing coffee, tea bags, dried pasta, or other small dry goods that benefit from the generous 2.7L capacity.
Is the lid airtight?
It provides a reliable seal for keeping snacks fresh, though it is not a vacuum-sealed container.
Does the print fade over time?
The enamel finish is durable; however, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges to preserve the design for years to come.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels difficult to remove or replace
Ensure the silicone or edge seal is free of crumbs; a light wipe with a dry cloth usually restores smooth operation.
Biscuits are losing their crunch
Ensure the lid is pressed firmly into the canister and that no crumbs are obstructing the seal; verify the environment is not overly humid.
Water spots on the lid
Gently sand the spot with a very fine-grit sandpaper if the water has stained the wood, then re-seal with food-safe oil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your tin, rinse the interior with mild soap and water before first use to remove any production dust. Ensure the canister is completely dry before placing biscuits inside to prevent them from softening.
Care instructions are straightforward but essential for maintaining the tin's appearance:
- Canister Body: Hand wash with warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, as these may scratch the enamel finish.
- Bamboo Lid: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Never submerge the bamboo lid in water, as it can swell or warp. Regularly applying food-grade mineral oil can help preserve the wood's finish over time.
