FAQs

Are these containers truly leak-proof?

The containers feature a securely sealed dome lid designed for zero leaks. However, vigorous shaking or placing them loosely in a bag could potentially lead to minor seepage over time. They are best transported upright.

Can I use these containers for hot foods?

Yes, they are safe for reheating food in the microwave (lid removed or vented) and for storing hot leftovers. However, they are not intended for cooking in the oven or on a stovetop.

What is the benefit of the 48oz size?

The 48oz capacity is ideal for larger meal portions, batch cooking multiple servings, storing family-sized leftovers, or for individuals with larger appetites.

How do I clean these containers?

They are dishwasher safe, though hand-washing the lids is recommended for optimal seal longevity. Use mild detergent and avoid abrasive scrubbers.

Are these containers stackable?

The round design with lids may make them less efficiently stackable than rectangular containers. However, when empty, they can sometimes be nested if lids are stored separately.

What is the warranty period for these containers?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's warranty information for specific details, as warranty periods can vary.

Can I buy lids separately?

Replacement lids are typically sold separately or as part of specific multi-packs. Please check product listings or contact customer support for availability.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not seal tightly.

Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and dry. Check for any food debris or damage to the lid or container rim. For microwave reheating, remove the lid or vent it.

Container warps after microwaving.

Ensure the lid is removed or loosened (vented) before microwaving. Do not exceed recommended microwave times. These containers are designed for reheating, not prolonged high-heat cooking.

Stains on the container.

Some strongly colored foods (like tomato sauce or curry) may cause temporary staining. This is normal for plastic containers. Try soaking the container in a mixture of baking soda and water, or use a food-safe plastic cleaner.

Container feels brittle after freezing.

Plastic can become more brittle at freezing temperatures. Handle with care when removing from the freezer. The material is designed to withstand freezer temperatures without cracking under normal use.
