Troubleshooting
Container appears cloudy or scratched
This can be caused by abrasive cleaning products or dishwasher detergents. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and hand wash if this occurs frequently.
Lid does not seal properly
Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and dry. Check for any debris. Some lids are designed for a looser fit when vented for microwave use.
Container has absorbed odors
For stubborn odors, try soaking the container in a mixture of baking soda and water, or in a diluted vinegar solution. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.
Container cracked after microwaving/freezing
Ensure you are not subjecting the container to extreme temperature changes (thermal shock). Allow food and container to reach closer to room temperature before transferring between extreme temperatures.
