Product Information
Full details
The LocknLock 1.2L Food Storage Container is designed for home cooks, meal preppers, and anyone seeking a reliable way to organize their pantry or fridge while keeping food fresh for longer. Its primary benefit is the patented 4-sided locking mechanism that ensures a completely airtight and watertight seal, effectively preventing spills and odors. A primary caveat to keep in mind is that while the container is microwave-safe, the lid must always be removed before heating to prevent damage.

No, you must remove the lid before microwaving the container.
Is this container BPA-free?

Ensure the silicone seal is correctly seated in the lid groove and not pinched or twisted.
Container leaks during transport
Check that all four side-locking clips are snapped down completely and that the silicone gasket is free of debris or food particles.
Plastic smells like previously stored food
Soak the container in a mixture of baking soda and water, or place it in the dishwasher on a sanitize cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your LocknLock container, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Use: Wash the container and lid with mild dish soap and warm water before the first use.
- Microwave Care: Only use the container for reheating. Remove the lid completely before placing the base in the microwave. Do not use for long-term cooking or high-fat/high-sugar content items which can overheat the plastic.
- Dishwasher Maintenance: The container is top-rack dishwasher safe. Avoid high-heat settings that may distort the plastic over time.
- Storage: When not in use, stack containers inside one another to save space. Ensure the silicone seal is firmly pressed into the lid groove to maintain the airtight vacuum.
