Product Information
Full details
The LocknLock 1600ml Airtight Food Storage Container is designed for home cooks, meal preppers, and anyone looking to organize their pantry or fridge efficiently. Its primary benefit is the combination of a 4-hinge locking system and a silicone gasket that provides a reliable airtight and watertight seal to keep ingredients fresher for longer. While the container is highly durable and versatile, users should note that the clear plastic body, despite being high-quality, can scratch if abrasive cleaning pads are used, requiring careful maintenance to maintain its transparency.

FAQs
Is this container safe for microwave use?

How do I clean the silicone gasket?
The gasket can be removed for deep cleaning. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling it back into the lid.
Will it leak liquids if tipped over?
The 4-hinge system combined with the silicone seal provides a watertight barrier, making it leak-proof under normal conditions.
Can I stack multiple 1600ml containers?

Troubleshooting
Lid feels difficult to snap shut
Check to ensure the silicone gasket is fully seated in the lid groove and not pinched or twisted.
Container is not airtight
Inspect the silicone seal for any food debris or damage. Clean the seal thoroughly and ensure it is dry before re-seating.
Stains from tomato-based foods
Soak the container in a mixture of warm water and baking soda, then wash as normal to lift residual stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the LocknLock container is intuitive: simply place your food inside, align the lid, and snap all four hinges down firmly to engage the silicone gasket. For cleaning, the container and lid are dishwasher safe; however, for the longest lifespan of the silicone seal, a gentle hand wash with a soft sponge is recommended. Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive powders on the clear plastic surfaces to prevent clouding. If you notice the silicone seal becoming loose, ensure it is properly seated in its groove after cleaning to maintain the airtight vacuum.
