Product Information

Full details

The Mepal Cirqula 3500ml rectangular food container is designed for busy home cooks and meal-preppers who need a versatile, space-saving solution for storing, heating, and serving food. Its primary benefit lies in its durable, multi-functional design that transitions seamlessly from freezer to microwave to table, though users should note that at 3500ml, it occupies a significant footprint in smaller refrigerators.

FAQs

Is this container safe for microwave use?

Is the material BPA-free?

Can I stack multiple 3500ml containers?

Yes, the rectangular design is specifically engineered for stable stacking to optimize storage space.

Are these containers nestable when not in use?

Yes, the containers are designed to nest inside one another, making them easy to store when empty.

Is it safe to put these in the dishwasher?

Yes, the entire set is dishwasher safe. We recommend the top rack for the lids to ensure longevity.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to press down

Ensure the rim of the container is clean and free of food debris; press from one corner and work your way around the edges.

Food odors lingering on lid

Soak the lid in a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap, or place it on the top rack of the dishwasher for a thorough cycle.

Container feels stiff when coming out of the freezer

Allow the container to sit at room temperature for a minute or two before attempting to open it to prevent potential stress on the lid tabs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, BPA-free construction
  • Stackable design saves cupboard space
  • Clear window makes identifying leftovers easy
  • Microwave and freezer safe
  • Leak-proof, airtight closure

Cons

  • Large footprint may not fit in compact fridge shelves
  • Lid can be slightly stiff to seal initially
  • Single container size may be too large for individual portions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Cirqula container, remove the lid before placing the base in the microwave. When cleaning, the unit is entirely dishwasher safe, though hand-washing with a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the clarity of the lid's viewing window over time. The container is designed for food storage; ensure the lid is snapped firmly into place around all edges to engage the airtight seal. Avoid using sharp metal utensils inside the container to prevent surface scratches.
