FAQs

Are these containers truly leak-proof?

The containers are designed with airtight and secure lids to be leak-proof for most common foods. However, for extremely thin liquids or when the container is overfilled, some minor leakage might occur if not handled carefully or stored upright.

Can I use these for hot foods directly from the stove?

These containers are safe for reheating food in the microwave or storing hot food after it has cooled slightly. They are not designed for cooking directly on a stovetop or in an oven.

What is the best way to store leftovers in these containers?

Ensure food has cooled down slightly before sealing the lid. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. For best results, consume refrigerated leftovers within 3-4 days.

How many times can I reuse these containers?

The containers are made from durable, high-quality plastic and are designed for repeated use. With proper care, they can be reused many times. However, if you notice any significant wear, staining, warping, or damage, it's recommended to replace them for optimal safety and performance.

Are there other sizes or colors available?

Yes, ECONX offers these round plastic meal prep containers in various sizes, including 16oz, 32oz, and 48oz, all typically in black.

Is it safe to put the lids in the dishwasher?

Yes, the lids are generally dishwasher safe. However, for best longevity, it is often recommended to place them on the top rack and avoid excessive heat drying cycles. Hand washing may prolong their seal integrity.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to seal

Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and dry. Press down firmly on the center of the lid and then along the edges to create a secure seal. If the lid or container is warped, discontinue use.

Container leaks slightly

Check that the lid is properly aligned and fully sealed around the rim. Ensure no food particles are trapped between the lid and container. For liquid-heavy foods, consider using an additional seal or transporting the container upright.

Plastic appears cloudy after washing

This may be due to hard water deposits. Try soaking the container in a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water, or use a dishwasher cleaning agent. Ensure the dishwasher's rinse aid dispenser is full.

Container warped after microwaving

The container may have been exposed to excessively high heat or for too long. Always vent the lid or remove it when microwaving. Avoid microwaving oily or sugary foods for extended periods, as they can reach higher temperatures. If warping is significant, replace the container.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Airtight and leak-proof design for secure transport.
  • Made from durable, BPA-free, food-grade plastic.
  • Suitable for microwave, freezer, and dishwasher use.
  • Helps with meal prepping and portion control.
  • Reusable and built to last.

Cons

  • Plastic material may be susceptible to staining over time with certain foods.
  • Extended high-heat exposure in microwave could potentially affect longevity.
  • While durable, it is still plastic and can scratch.
  • Lids, while secure, might require careful handling to ensure a perfect seal.
  • Limited to round shape, which may not suit all food types or storage needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These containers require no assembly. Simply open the lid and fill with your desired food.

Compatibility: Fully compatible with refrigerators, freezers, and microwaves (ensure lid is vented or slightly ajar during microwave use to allow steam to escape). They are also safe for use in standard dishwashers.

Care: For best results and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Wash with warm, soapy water. They are also dishwasher safe on the top rack. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the plastic.
  2. Microwaving: While microwave-safe, avoid prolonged high-heat cooking. It's recommended to vent the lid or remove it entirely when microwaving to prevent pressure buildup and potential warping. Do not microwave if the container shows signs of damage.
  3. Freezing: Suitable for freezer storage. Ensure the lid is securely fastened.
  4. Staining: For stubborn stains from foods like tomato sauce or curry, a paste of baking soda and water can be used as a gentle cleaning agent.
