What are the exact dimensions of the container?
The container measures H20 x W23 x D21 cm.
Can this be used for other vegetables like onions?
While it is designed for potatoes, it can store other root vegetables, though it is recommended to keep different vegetable types in separate containers to prevent cross-contamination or accelerated spoilage.
Is the container airtight?
No, it is designed with ventilation holes to ensure proper airflow, which is critical for maintaining potato freshness.
What is the material used?
The container is constructed from durable carbon steel.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
No, it should only be hand washed to preserve the finish and material quality.
Is the capacity large enough for a standard bag of potatoes?
Yes, the 5.9L capacity is designed to comfortably hold a standard store-bought bag of potatoes.
Troubleshooting
Potatoes are sprouting faster than expected
Ensure the container is kept in a cool, dark place and that the ventilation holes are not blocked by wall proximity.
Difficulty removing the lid
Ensure the lid is seated squarely on the rim; if it becomes stuck, gently wiggle the handle to release the seal.
Exterior finish showing light scuffs
Gently buff the area with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the container is straightforward: ensure the surface is flat and stable to prevent tipping. To maintain the finish and structural integrity, wash the container by hand using mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads, as these can scratch the cream coating. Always dry the interior thoroughly after washing before placing new potatoes inside, as residual moisture can accelerate spoilage. This product is intended for dry storage only and should not be used for liquids or wet produce.
