FAQs
Can I put the lid in the oven or microwave?
No, the lid is not oven or microwave safe. Only the borosilicate glass container can be used in the oven (up to 400°C) and microwave. Always remove the lid before heating.
How do I remove the silicone seal for cleaning?
Gently pull the silicone seal away from the groove in the lid. It should come out relatively easily. To reinsert, align it with the groove and press it back into place.
Is the 500ml size suitable for meal prepping?
Yes, the 500ml size is suitable for individual meal portions, snacks, or side dishes. For larger meals, consider larger capacity LocknLock glass containers.
Can I use this container for freezing meals?
Yes, the container is freezer safe down to -20°C. Allow food to cool slightly before transferring to the freezer and ensure the lid is securely locked.
Does the glass scratch easily?
The borosilicate glass is engineered to resist scratches, stains, and odors, making it durable for everyday use. However, avoid using abrasive cleaning materials like steel wool.
What is thermal shock resistance?
Thermal shock resistance means the glass can withstand rapid temperature changes, such as moving from a freezer directly into a hot oven (within specified temperature limits), without cracking.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
Yes, LocknLock offers this container in various sizes and sometimes different colors. Please check the product line for available options.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not seal properly
Ensure the silicone seal is correctly seated in the lid groove. Check for any food debris obstructing the seal or the rim of the container. Make sure all four locking tabs are fully engaged.
Container has retained odors
Remove the silicone seal and wash both parts separately with warm, soapy water. For stubborn odors, soak the glass container in a solution of baking soda and water overnight.
Cloudiness on the glass after washing
This can sometimes occur due to hard water. Run a cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a vinegar rinse to help remove any mineral deposits.
Lid is difficult to lock or unlock
Ensure the container is completely cool before attempting to lock. Sometimes extreme temperature changes can affect the lid's fit. Check that the silicone seal is clean and not obstructing the mechanism.
