FAQs
Is the lid microwave safe?
The lid is designed to be used with the container in the microwave, featuring a pop-off steam vent for safe reheating. However, always ensure you follow the specific instructions for microwave use with this container.
Can I use this container in a conventional oven?
Yes, the stainless steel container is oven safe. However, it is crucial to remove the lid before placing it in the oven and to adhere to the maximum temperature guidelines for stainless steel bakeware.
How do I clean the stainless steel container?
The container is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
What does 'BPA, PFOA and PTFE free' mean for me?
It means the container is made without these potentially harmful chemicals, offering a safer and healthier option for storing and heating your food compared to many plastic alternatives.
How does the steam vent work?
The pop-off steam vent on the lid allows steam to escape safely during the microwaving process, preventing pressure build-up inside the container and ensuring safer reheating.
What is the 'Buy Once, Buy Smart' philosophy?
This philosophy, central to the MasterClass brand, encourages purchasing high-quality, durable products that are built to last, reducing waste and offering long-term value.
Can I freeze liquids in this container?
Yes, you can freeze liquids, but be mindful of expansion. Avoid overfilling the container to prevent potential damage or lid seal issues when freezing.
Troubleshooting
Container lid is difficult to close.
Ensure there is no food debris around the rim of the container or the lid seal. Check that the lid is aligned correctly before applying pressure.
Food is not heating evenly in the microwave.
Ensure the food is distributed evenly within the container and that the steam vent is open. Stir food halfway through the microwaving process if necessary.
Container has stains or discoloration.
For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stained area, let it sit for 15-30 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft cloth and rinse. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Lid seal seems to be losing its effectiveness.
Inspect the silicone seal for any damage or wear. Clean the seal thoroughly. If damaged, consider replacing the lid if possible or contacting customer support.
