FAQs
Is the TATAY food container truly airtight?
The screw lid provides a secure seal, which is effective for preventing leaks and maintaining freshness. However, it is not a vacuum seal.
Can I use this container for freezer storage?
Yes, the container is safe for freezer use down to -40°C. Ensure you leave some headspace for food expansion when freezing liquids.
What does BPA-free mean for me?
BPA-free means the plastic does not contain Bisphenol A, an industrial chemical that has raised health concerns. This makes the container safer for storing and heating food.
How should I clean the container after storing tomato sauce?
Wash immediately with warm, soapy water. If staining occurs, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left for a short period before rinsing.
Can I stack multiple containers of different sizes?
Yes, the stackable design generally allows for stacking of compatible sizes to maximize storage efficiency.
Is the red color prone to fading?
The color is designed for durability, but like most plastics, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh detergents may cause some fading over time.
What are the exact external dimensions of the 1000ml container?
The container measures approximately 12 cm in length, 12 cm in width, and 12.5 cm in height.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to screw on/off
Ensure the container rim and lid threads are clean and free of food debris. Try aligning the lid more carefully before screwing.
Container appears stained
For minor stains, try soaking in a solution of water and baking soda, or use a non-abrasive cleaner. For persistent stains, consider using a different container for highly staining foods.
Container smells of previous food
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. A soak in a baking soda and water solution can help neutralize odors. Ensure the container is completely dry before storing.
Container warped after microwave use
Ensure the lid was properly vented or loosened during microwaving. Overheating without venting can cause warping. Allow the container to cool completely before assessing.
