Does the seal contain BPA?
The product is part of the 'Zero Plastic' series, focusing on using glass as the primary material for health-conscious food storage.
How do I maintain the seal's effectiveness?
Regularly remove the seal to clean underneath it and ensure it is dried completely before replacing it on the lid.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to seal
Ensure the removable seal is properly seated in the lid groove and check for any debris preventing a flush closure.
Stubborn residue on the lid
Remove the seal entirely and soak both the lid and seal in warm, soapy water before scrubbing with a soft brush.
Glass looks cloudy
Hard water deposits can accumulate; soak the container in a solution of vinegar and water to restore the glass clarity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pyrex Zero Plastic container, remove the lid before placing the glass base in the oven or microwave. While the glass is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to place it on the top rack or ensure it is securely positioned to avoid impact with other items. To clean the lid, remove the silicone seal to scrub away residue that may accumulate in the grooves; ensure both the lid and seal are completely dry before reassembling to prevent moisture trapping. Always avoid using abrasive scouring pads that may scratch the surface of the glass over time. For best results, allow the glass to reach room temperature before placing it into a preheated oven if taken directly from a very cold environment to minimize sudden thermal stress.
