FAQs

What is the exact capacity of this container?

The capacity of this specific GastroMax container is 250ml.

Can I put the lid in the microwave or oven?

No, the lid must be removed before placing the container in the microwave or oven.

How do I remove the silicone gasket for cleaning?

Gently pull the silicone gasket away from the lid's edge. It should detach easily. Re-insert by pressing it back into the groove.

Is this container suitable for storing liquids?

Yes, the 100% airtight and leakproof lid is designed to securely store liquids without spilling.

Can I use this container for baby food preparation?

Yes, the 250ml size is ideal for storing small portions of baby food, and the BPA-free glass is safe for food contact.

Will the glass break if frozen?

The container is designed to be freezer safe. Allow food to cool slightly before freezing, and avoid sudden temperature shocks.

What are the dimensions of the container?

The product information does not specify exact dimensions, but the 250ml capacity indicates a compact size.

Troubleshooting

Lid not sealing properly

Ensure the silicone gasket is clean, dry, and properly seated in the lid groove. Check for any debris on the container rim.

Container smells after storing strong-smelling food

Wash the container immediately after use. For stubborn odors, try soaking in a solution of water and baking soda or white vinegar.

Condensation on lid after freezing

This is normal due to temperature changes. The seal should remain effective.

Container chipped or cracked

Inspect carefully. Due to the nature of glass, if significant damage is present, discontinue use to avoid potential hazards.
