Product Information

Full details

This 5kg dry food container from Thrink is for anyone looking to enhance pantry organization and food freshness. Its key benefit is an airtight seal that protects contents from air, moisture, pests, and odors, keeping staples fresher for longer. A potential caveat is its 5kg capacity, which might be too large for very small pantries or limited storage needs. It features a secure silicone gasket, side-locking lids, a transparent body, a stackable design, an integrated measuring cup, and a date dial.

How do I set the date dial?

The date dial is located on the lid. Rotate it to align with the date you stored the food, or the date it should be used by.

Can this container be used for liquids?

No, this container is specifically designed for dry goods and is not suitable for storing liquids or wet foods.

How should I clean the container?

It is recommended to hand wash the container and lid with mild soap and warm water. Ensure it is thoroughly dried before refilling.

What material is the container made of?

Is the container stackable?

Troubleshooting

Lid does not seal tightly.

Ensure the silicone gasket is clean, properly aligned, and fully seated within the lid groove. Check that the side-locking mechanisms are fully engaged.

Contents appear to be moist or clumped.

Verify the container was completely dry before filling. Ensure the lid's gasket and seal are functioning correctly and that the container has not been exposed to external humidity.

Date dial is stiff or difficult to turn.

Gently try turning the dial. If it remains stiff, a small amount of food-grade lubricant may be applied to the central pivot, or contact customer support.

Container has absorbed odors.

Wash thoroughly with mild soap and water. For stubborn odors, try filling the container with a baking soda and water paste, letting it sit for a few hours, then rinsing and drying completely.
