Product Information

Full details

Designed for home cooks and meal-preppers who prioritize ingredient longevity, these Spares2Go glass containers provide a vacuum-sealing solution that significantly extends the shelf life of perishables. By utilizing the included manual pump, users can remove excess air to minimize oxidation, keeping food fresh and textural integrity intact. While they offer superior preservation, the requirement to manually pump each container for every use may be a drawback for those seeking a completely passive storage system.

FAQs

Can I use these in the oven?

Yes, these containers are oven-safe, but remove the lid or ensure the valve is open to prevent pressure buildup.

Are the containers dishwasher safe?

Yes, they are dishwasher safe. Placing them on the top rack is recommended to preserve the integrity of the sealing rings.

How do I use the date dials?

Simply rotate the dials on the lid to match the day and month that you sealed the container.

Do I need a special pump for these?

The set comes with its own manual hand pump, which is designed specifically for these valves.

Can I freeze food in these containers?

Yes, the glass is designed to handle freezer temperatures; just be mindful of leaving room for expansion if storing liquids.

Are these BPA free?

Yes, the components used in the construction are food-safe and free from harmful chemicals like BPA.

Troubleshooting

Container will not hold a vacuum seal

Check the rubber sealing ring for debris or hair. Ensure the rim of the glass is clean and dry before closing the lid.

Difficulty pumping air out

Ensure the hand pump is seated firmly against the valve and that the valve itself is free of food particles.

Lid clips are difficult to snap on

Ensure the lid is properly centered on the glass rim. Do not force the clips if the seal feels misaligned.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly extends food freshness via vacuum technology
  • Leak-proof clips make them perfect for lunch bags or backpacks
  • Durable borosilicate-style thick glass build
  • Dual-dial system ensures easy tracking of storage dates
  • Multipurpose utility across oven, microwave, and dishwasher

Cons

  • Requires manual effort with the hand pump for every sealing cycle
  • Heavier than plastic alternatives due to thick glass construction
  • Limited capacity size options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is minimal; simply wash the containers and lids before first use. When using the containers in the oven or microwave, ensure the vacuum valve is open or the lid is removed to allow for heat expansion. For dishwasher cleaning, place components on the top rack. Always check the sealing rings for any debris that might compromise the vacuum seal. The containers are freezer and fridge safe, but avoid drastic thermal shocks by letting the glass reach room temperature before moving it directly from a freezer to a preheated oven.
