FAQs
Are these containers truly leak-proof?
The lids are designed to be leak-resistant when secured properly. For maximum protection against spills, ensure the lid is firmly pressed down on all sides and that no food debris is obstructing the seal.
Can I freeze liquids in these containers?
Yes, you can freeze liquids, but allow some headspace for expansion as liquids increase in volume when frozen. Do not fill to the brim.
Are the lids interchangeable between different sizes?
Typically, lids are designed to fit specific container sizes. It is best to match lids to their corresponding containers for a secure fit.
How should I clean the containers if they are dishwasher safe?
Place them on the top rack of your dishwasher. For best results and longevity, handwashing is recommended.
Can I use these containers for baking?
These containers are not intended for oven use and are not suitable for baking.
What does BPA-free mean for these containers?
BPA-free means the plastic does not contain Bisphenol A, a chemical that has raised health concerns. This ensures a safer option for food storage.
What is the best way to store them when not in use?
Stacking them inside one another or nesting them can save space. Ensure they are clean and dry before stacking.
