Product Information

Full details

This LocknLock Rectangular Storage Container (2.6L, Blue/Transparent) is ideal for home cooks and meal preppers seeking reliable food storage. Its patented four-hinge locking system with a silicone seal provides a 100% airtight and watertight seal, ensuring food freshness and secure transport. While incredibly durable and versatile, the 0.18L capacity mentioned in some specifications seems inconsistent with the 2.6L volume, so double-check the exact size needed for your purposes.

FAQs

What is the actual capacity of this container?

The product description lists the capacity as 2.6 Liters. There is some conflicting information suggesting 0.18L in technical specifications, which appears to be an error. The primary volume indicated is 2.6L.

Can I use this container in the oven?

No, this container is not designed for oven use. It is safe for microwave reheating, refrigeration, and freezing.

How do I ensure the airtight seal remains effective?

Make sure the silicone seal on the lid is clean, undamaged, and properly seated before locking the hinges. Always ensure the container is dry before sealing.

Is this container safe for storing baby food?

Yes, the container is made from BPA-free polypropylene (PP), making it a safe choice for storing food, including baby food.

What are the external dimensions of the container?

The external measurements are approximately 25cm (length) x 18cm (width) x 9.3cm (height).

How should I clean the container?

The container is dishwasher safe. For extended product life and to maintain clarity, hand washing with warm, soapy water is also recommended. Ensure the seal and hinges are clean.

What is the warranty period?

The container comes with a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

Lid not sealing properly

Ensure the silicone seal is clean, free from debris, and correctly positioned on the lid. Check that all four locking hinges are fully engaged.

Container has a persistent odor

Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. For stubborn odors, try soaking the container in a solution of baking soda and water for a few hours before washing.

Container appears cloudy after washing

This may occur with dishwasher use over time. Hand washing with a non-abrasive cleaner is recommended to maintain clarity. Avoid harsh detergents.

Hinges feel stiff

Gently flex the hinges. Ensure there is no food residue trapped in the hinge mechanism. A very small amount of food-grade lubricant can be applied if the issue persists, but this is rarely necessary.
