Product Information
Full details
The Beaufort Hinged Square Food Container (300ml) is an ideal storage solution for home cooks and meal-preppers looking for a compact, durable vessel to organize ingredients or small portions. It offers the key benefit of a secure, integrated hinged lid that prevents misplaced covers, though its 300ml capacity is best suited for snacks, sauces, or single-serving sides rather than full-sized main meals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Beaufort container, avoid using sharp metal utensils inside the base, which could scratch the surface. Before first use, wash the container with warm, soapy water. While the container is dishwasher safe, placing it on the top rack is recommended to prevent excessive heat exposure to the hinge. When using in a microwave, ensure the lid is either left ajar or not completely snapped shut to allow steam to escape safely, preventing pressure buildup inside the container.
