Full details
The LocknLock 460ml Airtight Rectangular Container is an essential tool for home cooks and organizers looking to extend the shelf life of ingredients while maintaining a tidy kitchen. With its patented 4-hinge locking system and silicone seal, it provides a superior barrier against moisture and air, making it ideal for storing pantry staples, snacks, or leftovers. While its compact 460ml size is perfect for smaller portions, users should note that the rectangular footprint may be less efficient for bulk storage compared to larger, deep-profile containers.

FAQs
Is this container safe for the oven?
No, this specific model is designed for microwave, freezer, and dishwasher use, but it is not intended for use in a conventional oven.
Can I put the lid in the microwave?
Yes, but you should unlock the hinges and rest the lid loosely on top of the container to allow steam to escape.
Is the material BPA-free?
LocknLock containers are manufactured from high-quality food-grade materials designed for safe food storage.
How do I remove the silicone seal for cleaning?
Gently pry the silicone ring out of the groove using a blunt tool or your fingers, wash it, and ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling.
Will this leak if I store soup or liquids?
Yes, the 4-hinge locking system combined with the silicone ring creates a watertight seal that effectively prevents leaks during transport.
Are these containers stackable with other sizes?
Yes, the LocknLock range is designed with a modular system, allowing you to stack different sizes that share compatible footprints.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to snap into place
Ensure the silicone seal is seated correctly in the groove of the lid and that there is no food residue blocking the hinge mechanisms.
Container is not airtight
Check the silicone seal for any cracks or debris; wash the seal and lid with warm soapy water and ensure it is pressed firmly into the channel.
Staining from food
For tomato-based or highly pigmented foods, soak in a mixture of baking soda and water to help lift stains before normal washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your container, always inspect the silicone seal for debris after washing to maintain the vacuum-like seal. When cleaning, place the container and lid on the top rack of your dishwasher to avoid excessive heat exposure. The container is microwave-safe, but it is recommended to heat food in shorter bursts and stir periodically. It is also suitable for freezer storage; however, avoid overfilling, as contents like liquids or sauces expand when frozen. The container is fully compatible with other LocknLock modular containers for seamless stacking.
