Is the lid microwave safe?

Can I put the entire container (including the lid) in the dishwasher?
Yes, both the glass container and the polypropylene lid are dishwasher safe.
Is this container freezer safe?
Yes, the glass container is designed to be freezer safe. Ensure not to overfill when freezing liquids, as they expand.
What are the dimensions of the container?

Is the glass tempered?
The product information states it is made of glass and is heat-resistant, suitable for microwave and oven use. Specific details on tempering are not provided, but its suitability for heating indicates durability.
Does this container contain BPA?

Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to remove or attach.
Ensure the container and lid are at room temperature. Extreme temperature differences can cause slight expansion or contraction. If the lid is stuck, try running warm water over it briefly.
Container appears cloudy after washing.
This may be due to mineral deposits from hard water. Try using a dishwasher detergent with a rinse aid or a dishwasher cleaner specifically designed to remove hard water stains. Handwashing with a mild vinegar solution can also help.
Food has stained the container.
While the container is stain-resistant, very strong pigments (like from turmeric or beets) might leave a faint mark. Soak the container in a solution of baking soda and water for a few hours, or expose it to sunlight (with the lid off) as UV rays can help break down stains.
