FAQs
Can I use these containers in a conventional toaster oven?
These containers are designed for conventional ovens and microwaves. It is not recommended to use them in a toaster oven due to potentially uneven heating and the proximity of heating elements.
What are the exact dimensions of the containers?
The 380ml containers measure approximately H5.5 x L15.5 x W11.5cm, and the 1000ml containers measure approximately H7 x L20.5 x W15.5cm.
Are the lids BPA-free?
Yes, the lids are BPA-free snap-lock lids.
Can I freeze liquids in these containers?
Yes, you can freeze liquids. However, do not lock the lid down tightly when freezing. Leave it slightly ajar or unsealed to allow for expansion as the liquid freezes, which prevents the glass from cracking.
How should I clean the silicone seals?
Carefully remove the silicone seals from the lids. Wash them by hand with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and ensure they are completely dry before reattaching them to the lids.
What is the maximum oven temperature I can use?
The glass bases are safe for use in the oven up to 300°C (572°F). Remember to remove the lid before placing the container in the oven.
Will the glass containers stain?
Glass is generally resistant to staining. However, prolonged contact with highly staining foods (like tomato-based sauces) might cause minor discoloration over time. Regular cleaning should prevent this.
Troubleshooting
Lids not sealing properly
Ensure the silicone seal is clean, correctly positioned within the lid groove, and that the glass rim of the container is free from debris. Press down firmly on all four corners of the lid to engage the snap-lock mechanism.
Container appears cloudy after washing
This may be due to hard water. Try washing with a vinegar solution or using a dishwasher detergent specifically designed for hard water. Ensure the dishwasher rinse aid dispenser is full.
Difficulty removing silicone seal for cleaning
Gently use a non-metallic utensil, such as a plastic spatula or butter knife, to carefully pry the seal away from the edge of the lid. Avoid using sharp metal objects that could damage the seal or lid.
Glass container shows signs of cracking or chipping
Inspect the container carefully. If significant damage is present, it should be retired from use to avoid potential breakage, especially when subjected to temperature changes.
