FAQs

Are these containers truly leakproof?

Yes, the lids are designed to be airtight and leakproof when properly sealed, making them suitable for transporting liquids like soups or sauces without spills.

Can I use these containers in the oven?

No, these containers are not oven-safe. They are designed for microwave, freezer, and refrigerator use only.

How long will these containers last?

With proper care and regular use, these durable plastic containers are designed for long-term use. However, like all plastic products, they may show signs of wear over extended periods.

Are the lids interchangeable with different container sizes?

Lids are designed to fit specific container sizes. It's best to keep lids paired with their original containers to ensure a proper seal.

What is the best way to clean stubborn food residue?

For stubborn residue, soak the container in warm, soapy water for a while. A paste of baking soda and water can also be effective. Always rinse thoroughly.

Can I store acidic foods like tomato sauce in these containers?

While made from BPA-free plastic, it's generally recommended to avoid storing highly acidic foods for very long periods, as this can potentially affect the plastic over time and may cause slight discoloration.

What is the volume of this specific container?

This particular container has a volume of 650ml.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to seal

Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and dry. Align the lid carefully before pressing down firmly around the edges.

Container is stained

Soak the container in a solution of warm water and a mild bleach or baking soda for a few hours. Dishwasher cleaning may also help reduce staining over time.

Food reheats unevenly

Stir food halfway through microwaving. Ensure the lid is vented or slightly ajar to allow steam circulation.

Container cracks after freezing

Ensure the container is designed for freezer use (these are). Avoid dropping the container when frozen, as plastic can become more brittle at low temperatures.

  • Airtight and leakproof lids ensure no spills and keep food fresh.
  • Made from BPA-free plastic for safe food contact.
  • Stackable design helps save space in kitchens and storage areas.
  • Dishwasher safe for easy and convenient cleaning.

Cons

  • Plastic material may be prone to staining from strong-colored foods over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. Simply ensure the containers and lids are clean before first use.

Compatibility: These containers are compatible with most standard microwaves and freezers. Ensure the lid is slightly loosened or vented before microwaving to allow steam to escape. They are not designed for oven use.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wash by hand with warm, soapy water or place them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
  2. Storage: For optimal space-saving, stack empty containers and their lids neatly in cupboards or on shelves.
  3. Usage: Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads that could scratch the plastic. If staining occurs, a paste of baking soda and water can help.
