Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these containers BPA free?

Yes, these containers are manufactured using food-grade materials safe for everyday kitchen use.

Can I put these in the oven?

No, these containers are designed exclusively for microwave, refrigerator, and freezer use; they should not be placed in a conventional oven or under a broiler.

Do the lids provide a leak-proof seal?

The lids provide a secure storage seal suitable for leftovers and transport, but they are not intended to be 100% leak-proof for liquids like thin soups if tipped upside down.

How do I use the steam valve?

Simply toggle the valve to the open position before placing the container in the microwave to allow steam to vent safely.

Can I stack them while full?

Yes, the lids and bases are designed to stack securely, helping you organize your refrigerator effectively.

Troubleshooting

Lid feels difficult to secure

Ensure the rim of the container is clean and free of food debris, as a buildup of residue can prevent a proper seal.

Steam valve is stuck or difficult to open

Soak the lid in warm, soapy water for several minutes to loosen any dried food or oils that may be binding the valve mechanism.

Food odors lingering on the plastic

Wipe the containers with a mixture of baking soda and water, or soak briefly in a vinegar solution to neutralize persistent smells.

  • Four distinct sizes cover a wide range of storage needs
  • Stackable design improves pantry and fridge organization

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your containers, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the plastic surface. While dishwasher safe, placing lids on the top rack helps maintain their shape and integrity over time. Before first use, wash all components with mild detergent and warm water. For storage, nest the containers inside one another to save cabinet space when not in use. Be aware of the dimensions provided: 0.5L (140x140x50mm), 1L (170x170x60mm), 2L (210x210x80mm), and 3.5L (270x270x110mm).
