FAQs

Are these containers truly leak-proof?

Yes, the containers feature a poly-coated interior and leak-resistant paper lids designed to prevent leaks from oil, grease, or sauces during transport. However, extremely prolonged exposure to very hot or liquid-heavy foods might eventually test the seal.

Can I use these containers in an oven?

No, these containers are not recommended for oven use. They are designed for microwave reheating and freezer storage only.

What is the capacity of these containers?

This specific product is a pack of 25 containers, each with a 500ml capacity. Other sizes, such as 750ml and 1000ml, are also available.

Are these containers BPA-free and food-safe?

Yes, they are made from high-quality, food-safe materials and are BPA-free for worry-free use.

How should I store these containers when not in use?

They are designed to stack easily, allowing for efficient and space-saving storage in your kitchen or storage area.

Can I reheat food in these containers?

Yes, the containers are microwave-safe, allowing you to conveniently reheat your meals.

What makes these containers eco-conscious?

They are manufactured using natural kraft material, which is generally considered a more sustainable option compared to traditional plastic packaging.

Troubleshooting

Lid not sealing securely

Ensure the rim of the container is clean and dry. Press firmly around the entire edge of the lid to engage the seal. Check if the lid or container is damaged.

Container feels flimsy with hot food

Allow very hot foods to cool slightly before placing them in the container, or ensure the food is not overly saturated with liquid. For extended hot holding, consider a shorter transit time.

Minor leakage observed

Verify the poly-coated interior is intact. Ensure the food does not exceed the fill line, and avoid packing excessively liquid-heavy items for prolonged periods without immediate consumption.

Container warping in microwave

Ensure the container is microwave-safe and not placed directly on the microwave floor if it has a rotating plate. Heat in short intervals and stir food to ensure even heating. Avoid overheating.
