Full details

This 104-piece food storage container set in blue is designed for busy households seeking to enhance kitchen organization and preserve food freshness. Its key benefit is the extensive variety of sizes and shapes, offering a perfect fit for meal prep, leftovers, and pantry staples, all while the nesting design saves valuable cupboard space.

FAQs

Are these containers truly airtight?

The lids are designed to provide a secure seal for food storage, helping to maintain freshness. However, they are not hermetically sealed like vacuum-seal containers.

Can I use these containers in the oven?

No, these food storage containers are not oven-safe. They are designed for use in the freezer, microwave, and dishwasher only.

How do I best organize the lids and containers?

Utilize the nesting feature for the containers when empty. Store the lids separately, either stacked or upright in a lid organizer, to easily find the correct size.

What is the capacity of the largest containers?

The set includes two deep dishes with a capacity of 64 oz. (approximately 1.9 liters) each.

Are the containers safe for baby food?

Yes, the containers are made from food-grade, BPA-free plastic, making them safe for storing baby food and other edibles.

Will these containers crack if dropped?

While made from durable plastic, they are not shatterproof. Dropping them from significant heights may cause damage, similar to most plastic containers.

Can I buy replacement lids?

Replacement lids are typically not sold separately for this specific set. It is recommended to keep track of all lids to ensure a full set.

Troubleshooting

Containers feel flimsy or warp in microwave

Ensure the lid is vented or removed before microwaving. Do not overheat food; microwave in shorter intervals and stir. Allow containers to cool before placing in the dishwasher, as rapid temperature changes can affect the plastic.

Lids are difficult to fit or seal

Check that you are using the correct lid for the specific container size. Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and dry. Press down firmly on the center of the lid to create a seal.

Staining from colored foods (e.g., tomato sauce, curry)

Wash containers as soon as possible after use. For tough stains, try soaking in a solution of water and a small amount of dish soap, or a paste of baking soda. Staining is cosmetic and does not affect the safety or functionality of the container.

Containers do not nest properly

Ensure that the containers are completely clean and dry before nesting. Check that no debris is caught in the rims. For significantly different sizes, nesting may not be possible beyond a certain point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unpack all 104 pieces. Wash containers and lids before first use. Identify and sort lids by container size to facilitate easy pairing.

Compatibility: Compatible with freezers, microwaves (ensure lid is vented or removed for reheating), and dishwashers (top rack recommended for longevity).

Care: Handwashing is recommended for extending the life of the containers and preserving their clarity, although they are dishwasher safe. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching the plastic. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied. Ensure containers are completely dry before stacking to prevent mold or mildew.
