FAQs

Is the URBN-CHEF container truly airtight?

Yes, the 'Clip 'n' Lock Lid' combined with the rubber seal is designed to provide an airtight fit, helping to preserve food freshness and prevent leaks.

What sizes are available?

The containers are available in various sizes, ranging from 600ml up to 2.3L.

Can I freeze food in these containers?

Yes, the containers are freezer safe. Ensure the lid is securely fastened but consider leaving a little headspace if storing liquids that may expand upon freezing.

How do I clean the container lid?

The lids are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended) or can be hand-washed with soap and warm water. Pay attention to cleaning the rubber seal area.

Are there any restrictions when using the container in the microwave?

Yes, when microwaving, you must either remove the lid completely or leave it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Do not microwave with the lid tightly sealed.

What does 'BPA-free' mean for me?

BPA-free means the plastic does not contain Bisphenol A, a chemical that some studies have raised concerns about. Using BPA-free containers ensures you are not exposing your food to this potential chemical.

Are these containers stackable?

The design generally allows for stacking to save space in cabinets and refrigerators, especially when using containers of the same size or shape.

What should I do if the colored 'lock-down bits' break?

While designed for durability, if a colored tab breaks, the lid may still function but the seal might be compromised. Contact customer support for potential replacement options.

Troubleshooting

Lid not sealing properly

Ensure the rubber seal is clean, dry, and correctly positioned within the lid groove. Check for any debris or damage on the seal or the container rim.

Container seems warped after microwaving

Ensure the lid was vented or removed during microwaving. Excessive heat without ventilation can cause plastic to warp. Allow the container to cool completely before use.

Difficulty opening or closing the 'Clip 'n' Lock' tabs

Make sure the lid is aligned correctly on the container. If tabs feel stiff, try cleaning them and the corresponding lid slots. Do not force the tabs, as this may cause damage.

Food spoils quickly despite using the container

Confirm the lid is fully locked and the seal is intact. Ensure food was cooled before storing and that the refrigerator temperature is set correctly. Thoroughly clean the container and seal to remove any residual odors or bacteria.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Airtight seal keeps food fresh and prevents spills.
  • Durable and safe BPA-free plastic construction.
  • Convenient for both cleaning (dishwasher safe) and reheating (microwave safe).
  • Clear visibility of contents makes identification easy.
  • Available in a range of sizes to suit different needs.
  • Eco-friendly with 100% recyclable materials.

Cons

  • The 'lock-down bits' color options are limited to blue, purple, or red.
  • While microwave safe, it's important to vent the lid to prevent pressure build-up.
  • Plastic can potentially scratch over time with extensive use, though this doesn't affect functionality.
  • Can be susceptible to staining from highly pigmented foods, although cleaning should mitigate this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The URBN-CHEF Food Plastic Storage Container requires no assembly. Simply wash the container and lid before first use. Ensure the rubber seal is properly seated within the lid for optimal airtightness.

Compatibility: This container is compatible with standard refrigerators, freezers, and microwaves. It is safe for use in the top rack of most dishwashers. Ensure the size of the container fits your refrigerator shelves or pantry space.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: The container and lid are dishwasher safe. For best results, place them on the top rack. Handwashing with mild soap and warm water is also recommended to prolong the life of the material and seal.
  2. Microwaving: When microwaving food, always lift or remove the lid to allow steam to escape. Do not seal the lid tightly when heating.
  3. Staining: To prevent staining from strongly colored foods like tomato sauce or curry, clean the container as soon as possible after use. If staining occurs, a paste of baking soda and water can be used as a gentle abrasive cleaner.
  4. Storage: Store containers with lids separated or nested loosely to allow for air circulation and prevent moisture build-up.
