FAQs
What are the dimensions of the small and large containers?
The small container measures 21.8 cm W x 16 cm D x 12 cm H, and the large container measures 27.8 cm W x 20 cm D x 15 cm H.
Can I put these containers in the dishwasher?
While not explicitly stated, it is generally recommended to hand wash plastic containers, especially those with sealing mechanisms and date dials, to maintain their integrity and function. Check the product packaging for specific care instructions.
Is the date dial removable for cleaning?
The product description does not specify if the date dial is removable. It is advisable to clean it carefully in place with a damp cloth to avoid damage.
What materials are the containers made from?
The containers are made from PET, PP, and Silicone.
Are these containers freezer-safe?
Yes, the containers are suitable for freezer storage.
What is the main benefit of the raised internal tray?
The raised internal tray keeps food separated from excess moisture, which is ideal for storing items like meat, fish, or cheese, preventing them from becoming soggy.
How does the date dial work?
The date dial is a rotating indicator on the lid that you manually set to the date you stored the food, helping you track its freshness and reduce waste.
Troubleshooting
Lid not sealing properly
Ensure the silicone seal is correctly positioned within the lid groove and that there are no food particles obstructing the seal or the rim of the container.
Date dial is stiff or difficult to turn
Gently clean the dial mechanism with a damp cloth and ensure no food residue is present. Allow to dry completely before attempting to turn.
Container has absorbed strong odours
While the airtight seal helps prevent odour transfer, some porous foods might impart a slight scent. Thoroughly wash the container with a mild detergent and a baking soda paste, then air dry in sunlight if possible.
Excess moisture inside the container
Ensure the food stored is properly dried before placing it in the container, especially if not using the raised tray. The tray helps manage condensation, but excessive moisture from the food itself can still accumulate.
