Product Information
Full details
The Purely Home Dragonfly Biscuit Storage Tin is ideal for homeowners looking to elevate their kitchen organization with a functional yet decorative accent piece. Designed with a generous 2.7L capacity, it keeps your favorite snacks fresh and accessible while adding a pop of purple floral charm to your countertop. While it offers excellent storage space, users should note that the bamboo lid is not airtight, meaning it is best suited for items meant to be consumed within a reasonable timeframe rather than long-term moisture-sensitive storage.

FAQs
Is this tin dishwasher safe?
No, we recommend hand washing both the enamel tin and the bamboo lid to preserve the quality of the print and the integrity of the wood.
Can this hold liquid?
No, this container is intended solely for dry goods and non-perishable snacks.
How do I maintain the bamboo lid?
Keep the lid dry and away from excessive humidity. Do not soak it in water, as this can cause the wood to expand or crack.
What are the exact dimensions?
The tin measures 16.5cm in diameter and 19cm in height, offering a total volume of 2.7 liters.
Is the material food safe?
Yes, the enamel construction is designed for safe contact with dry food items.
Can I use this for coffee or tea storage?
Yes, provided the contents are kept dry, this tin is excellent for keeping coffee beans or loose-leaf tea bags organized.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels loose or does not seal tightly
The bamboo lid is designed for a friction fit rather than an airtight vacuum seal; ensure the rim of the tin is clean of crumbs to allow the lid to seat as firmly as possible.
Staining on the enamel surface
Wipe the area immediately with a soft cloth and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that may scratch the decorative design.
Water spots on the bamboo lid
Wipe the lid with a dry, lint-free cloth. If the bamboo appears dry over time, a light application of food-safe mineral oil can help restore its natural sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply wash the tin before the first use with mild soap and water. The bamboo lid should not be submerged in water to prevent warping; instead, wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry it immediately. The enamel body is hand-wash friendly, though it is not recommended for use in the dishwasher as it could compromise the vibrant finish over time. Place the tin in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources to maintain the freshness of the contents inside.
