Product Information
Full details
The Alpina Suction Lid Set is an essential kitchen accessory for home cooks looking to reduce reliance on single-use plastic wrap while keeping ingredients fresh. These versatile, reusable silicone lids create an airtight seal on various bowls, pots, and pans, effectively preventing leaks and protecting food from contaminants. While they offer an excellent eco-friendly storage solution, they perform best on smooth, non-porous surfaces and may struggle to maintain a seal on containers with rough or irregular rims.

FAQs
Are these lids safe to use in the microwave?
Yes, silicone is generally heat resistant, but always ensure the lid is not sealed air-tight while heating to allow steam to escape.
Can I use these to store liquids?
Yes, they provide a leak-proof seal for most liquids, though it is recommended to keep containers upright during transport.
What sizes are included in the set?
The set includes three varied sizes designed to fit most standard bowls and pans.
Will these lids retain food odors?
Silicone can sometimes absorb strong odors. To remove persistent smells, soak the lids in a mixture of baking soda and warm water.
Are these lids BPA free?
The Alpina Suction Lids are made from food-grade silicone designed for safe contact with all types of food.
Can I use these on square containers?
These lids are primarily designed for circular containers. They may not form an airtight seal on square or rectangular shapes.
Troubleshooting
Lid will not stick to the container
Ensure the container rim is clean and free of oils or moisture, as these can interfere with the suction bond.
Seal comes loose after a few minutes
Check that the container size is appropriate for the lid. If the container is too large, the silicone will be stretched too thin to maintain a vacuum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No installation is required; simply choose the lid size that best fits the diameter of your container. Ensure the silicone is centered over the container for a uniform vacuum effect.
Compatibility: Works with most round containers including mixing bowls, standard saucepans, and food storage containers with flat, smooth rims.
Care: To keep your lids in top condition, rinse them with warm soapy water after use or place them on the top rack of your dishwasher. Avoid using sharp knives or metal scouring pads directly on the silicone, as these can create tears that compromise the airtight seal. Store them stacked to save drawer space.
