FAQs
Are these containers truly reusable?
Yes, they are designed and manufactured for multiple uses. They are made from durable polypropylene and are safe for repeated washing, heating, and freezing.
Can I use these containers for hot liquids?
Yes, they are heat-resistant and suitable for hot foods. However, when microwaving, it is best to vent the lid to allow steam to escape.
How do I recycle these containers?
These containers are made from a mono-polymer (polypropylene) that can be fully recycled. Check with your local recycling facility for specific guidelines on plastic container recycling.
What does BPA Free mean for my food?
BPA (Bisphenol A) is an industrial chemical. BPA-free means the containers do not contain this chemical, making them safer for storing food, especially for children.
Can I freeze food in these containers?
Absolutely. They are freezer-safe and designed to withstand low temperatures without becoming brittle.
What is the difference between the 650ml and other sizes?
The main difference is the volume capacity. The 650ml is a standard size suitable for individual meals or smaller portions, while other sizes like 500ml, 750ml, or 1000ml offer larger or smaller capacities for different storage needs.
Are the lids interchangeable between different container sizes?
Lids are typically designed to fit specific container sizes to ensure a proper seal. It is best to use the lid that came with the corresponding container size.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to close or seal
Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and dry. Check for any debris or warping. For a tight seal, press firmly around the edges.
Container has a persistent odor
Soak the container in a solution of baking soda and water overnight, or wash with a mild bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water), rinse thoroughly, and air dry completely.
Container appears cloudy after washing
This can sometimes occur due to hard water or dishwasher detergent. Running a dishwasher cleaning cycle or hand-washing with a vinegar rinse can help mitigate this.
Container is slightly warped after microwave use
Ensure the lid is vented or removed during microwaving. Avoid overheating food. Warping may be minor and not affect functionality, but avoid prolonged exposure to very high heat.
