FAQs
Can these be used in the freezer?
Yes, they are freezer-safe and can handle temperatures down to -40C.
Are these lids BPA-free?
Yes, they are made from food-grade silicone intended for safe food contact.
Will these fit square containers?
The stretchable nature of the silicone allows them to fit round, square, and rectangular containers, provided the perimeter does not exceed the lid's maximum stretch capacity.
How do I remove odors from the silicone?
Soaking the lids in a mixture of warm water and baking soda for 30 minutes usually neutralizes lingering food odors.
Can I use these to seal liquids like soup?
Yes, they provide a spill-resistant seal, but ensure the lid is fully secure before moving the container to prevent leaks.
Troubleshooting
Lid keeps slipping off the container
Ensure both the container rim and the lid are dry; moisture or oil on the surface prevents the silicone from gripping.
Difficulty stretching the lid over the bowl
Choose a larger lid size from the pack to prevent excessive tension that may cause the lid to snap back or fail to seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best seal, always ensure both the rim of your container and the inner surface of the silicone lid are completely dry and free of grease. Stretch the lid by pulling the edges over the container, starting from the side closest to you and moving outward. For maintenance, clean the covers with warm soapy water or place them in the top rack of your dishwasher. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the silicone surface over time. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
