FAQs
Is the 350ml size suitable for meal prepping lunches?
The 350ml capacity is best suited for single servings, small snacks, sides, or components of a meal. For larger lunch portions, consider larger LocknLock containers.
Can I microwave food with the lid on?
Yes, but it is recommended to slightly open the lid or one of the locking tabs to allow steam to escape. This prevents pressure buildup and ensures even heating.
How do I ensure the lid remains leak-proof?
Make sure the silicone gasket inside the lid is clean and properly seated. Always ensure all four locking tabs are fully and securely closed after filling.
Is this container safe for children's lunches?
Yes, the container is BPA-free, making it safe for food storage. The secure locking lid helps prevent spills in lunch bags.
Can I freeze liquids in this container?
Yes, you can freeze liquids, but avoid filling the container to the brim as liquids expand when frozen. Leave some headspace to prevent potential damage.
What is the best way to clean the lid?
While dishwasher safe on the top rack, handwashing the lid with mild soap and warm water is recommended to maintain the integrity of the airtight seal over time.
Does LocknLock offer containers in other shapes and sizes?
Yes, LocknLock offers a wide variety of rectangular, square, and round containers in various sizes and materials, including glass and different plastic series.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to close or seal
Ensure the rim of the container and the gasket on the lid are clean and free of debris. Check that the four locking tabs are fully engaged.
Container leaks after locking
Verify that the lid gasket is properly seated within the lid groove. Ensure the locking tabs are securely fastened all the way around. Avoid overfilling the container.
Stains or odors remain after washing
Soak the container in a mixture of baking soda and water for a few hours. For persistent odors, a diluted vinegar solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
Container appears cloudy after dishwasher use
This is common with plastic containers on the top rack. It does not affect the safety or functionality of the container. Handwashing can help prevent this.
