FAQs

Are the lids dishwasher safe?

No, the plastic lids are not safe for use in the dishwasher. They should be hand-washed only.

Can I microwave the containers with the lids on?

No, the lids are not microwave-safe. You can microwave the glass containers, but the lid should be removed or left ajar to allow steam to escape.

What materials are the containers made from?

The containers are made from durable glass, and the lids are made from plastic.

Can the glass containers be used in the oven?

Yes, the glass containers are oven-safe. However, the lids must be removed before placing them in the oven.

Are these containers suitable for freezer storage?

Yes, the glass containers can be used in the freezer. To prevent potential cracking from expansion, it is recommended to leave the lid slightly ajar.

How do I clean stubborn food residue from the glass containers?

For stubborn residue, soak the glass container in warm, soapy water for a period. A paste of baking soda and water can also be applied as a gentle abrasive before washing.

What are the volumes of the containers in the set?

The set includes three sizes: 0.37 L (370ml), 0.64 L (640ml), and 1 L (1000ml).

Troubleshooting

Lid doesn't seal properly

Ensure the rim of the glass container and the gasket on the lid are clean and free from debris. Check that the locking clips are fully engaged.

Container seems loose after freezing

Glass can be susceptible to cracking due to expansion. For freezer storage, leave the lid slightly ajar or do not seal completely.

Food odors on the lid

As lids are not dishwasher safe, hand wash promptly after use with warm, soapy water. Soaking in a vinegar-water solution may help remove stubborn odors.

Glass container cracked or chipped

Inspect carefully for damage. If damaged, discontinue use for safety reasons.
