FAQs
What are the exact external dimensions of the container?

Is this container oven-safe?
No, this container is not suitable for oven use. It is safe for microwave, freezer, and dishwasher (top rack only).
How many containers do I receive in one purchase?

Can I stack multiple Lock & Lock containers together?
Yes, the design is specifically made to be stackable, both upward and sideways, to maximize storage efficiency.
What does BPA-free mean for my food?
BPA-free means the container is made without Bisphenol A, a chemical that can potentially leach into food. This ensures a safer storage solution for your meals.
How durable is the locking mechanism?
The locking system has undergone rigorous testing, including millions of bending cycles, indicating a high level of durability for long-term use.
Can I use this container for hot liquids?
While the container is microwave-safe for reheating, it is best to let hot liquids cool slightly before sealing to avoid pressure buildup, and ensure the lid is vented during reheating.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to close
Ensure the silicone seal is properly aligned and free of debris. Check that the container is not overfilled.
Container retains odors
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. For stubborn odors, soak in a mixture of baking soda and water for a few hours, then rinse and dry completely.
Seal appears loose
Inspect the silicone seal for any damage or wear. Ensure it is correctly seated within the lid groove. If damaged, replacement seals may be available from the manufacturer.
Container is stained
Try cleaning with a paste of baking soda and water, or expose to sunlight for a natural bleaching effect, which can help reduce stains from tomato-based foods or sauces.
