Product Information
Full details
The Andrew James Vintage Biscuit Tin is designed for homeowners who value a classic aesthetic combined with practical kitchen organization. Its primary benefit is providing a durable, airtight environment to keep your biscuits and treats fresh, though users should note that the metal construction requires careful handling to avoid surface scratches over time. Featuring a robust powder-coated iron build and a retro-inspired silhouette, this canister serves as both a functional storage solution and a decorative piece for traditional or country-style kitchen decors.

FAQs
Is the Andrew James Biscuit Tin dishwasher safe?
No, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing the interior and wiping the exterior with a damp cloth to preserve the finish.
Can I store bread or cakes in this tin?
While it is primarily designed for biscuits, you can store any dry goods. However, items with high moisture content may not stay fresh as long.
Does the tin come in other colors?
Yes, this series is also available in Grey and Cream variants to match different kitchen palettes.
Is the material prone to rusting?
The tin is made from rust-resistant powder-coated iron, but it should be kept dry and avoided being submerged in water to maintain its condition.
How do I clean the interior properly?
Rinse the interior with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry it thoroughly before replacing your biscuits.
Does the handle get hot?
The metal handle is designed for standard kitchen use and should remain at room temperature unless placed directly next to an active heat source.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels difficult to open or close
Ensure the lid is aligned perfectly parallel to the base. If it feels stiff, ensure there are no biscuit crumbs caught in the rim seal.
Visible spots or water marks on the exterior
Wipe the surface with a slightly damp microfibre cloth and buff dry immediately to prevent spotting.
Contents are losing freshness
Check that the lid is being pressed down fully to complete the seal and verify that the tin is not being stored in a high-humidity area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup for this biscuit tin is straightforward: simply remove all packaging and wash the interior with warm, soapy water. Dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth before placing any food items inside to prevent moisture buildup.
For ongoing care, keep the exterior clean by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth; avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the protective powder coating and lead to rust. Ensure the tin is kept away from extreme heat sources to preserve the finish. If you store the tin in a cabinet, ensure there is enough clearance to lift the lid comfortably by its handle.
