FAQs

Are these containers suitable for hot food?

Yes, they are microwave-safe, allowing you to reheat food. For direct serving of very hot food, allow it to cool slightly after removing from the microwave to prevent potential warping or burns.

Can I use these containers for baking?

No, these containers are not oven-safe and should not be used for baking or cooking in an oven.

How many containers are included in a pack?

This product is for a pack of 50 round food containers with lids.

What is the best way to clean them?

They are dishwasher safe, preferably on the top rack. Hand washing with warm, soapy water is also effective.

Are the lids interchangeable with other container sizes?

The lids are designed to fit the specific container size (230ml in this case). They are not typically interchangeable with different volumes or shapes within the Hot Bargains range.

Can I freeze liquids in these containers?

Yes, they are freezer-safe. However, leave some headspace as liquids expand when frozen to prevent the lid from becoming too tight or the container from cracking.

What material are the containers made from?

They are made from a durable, food-grade plastic that is microwave and freezer safe.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to close or seal

Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and free of food debris. Check that the lid is correctly aligned before applying pressure. If the plastic has warped slightly from extreme temperatures, allow it to return to room temperature.

Container leaks after sealing

Verify that the lid has been snapped shut securely around the entire rim. Ensure no food particles are trapped between the lid and the container edge. For liquids, ensure the container is not overfilled.

Staining on the plastic

Soak the container in a solution of warm water and baking soda, or use a mild bleach solution for stubborn stains. Rinse thoroughly afterward. Pre-rinsing with cool water can help reduce staining from colourful foods.

Container appears warped

Avoid exposing the containers to temperatures significantly higher than recommended (e.g., placing on a direct heat source in the microwave). Allow the container to cool to room temperature; it may return to its original shape.
