Can I use these containers to cook food in the microwave?

These containers are safe for reheating food, but not for cooking. Avoid prolonged high-heat cooking cycles that could deform the plastic.

How do I best clean the containers?

They are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended) for convenience. You can also wash them by hand with soap and warm water.

What is the volume of this specific container?

This product listing is for the 1000ml size container.

Are these containers stackable?

Yes, they feature a stackable design to help save space in your refrigerator and cupboards.

What materials are used in these containers?

The containers are made from BPA-free plastic, ensuring they are safe for food storage and daily use.

Can I use these containers for oven baking?

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to close securely.

Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and dry. Check for any food debris that might be obstructing the seal. Press down firmly on all sides of the lid to create a proper seal.

Container shows signs of staining.

For minor stains, try washing with a baking soda and water paste. For persistent stains, consider dedicated plastic food container cleaners or soaking in a mild bleach solution (ensure thorough rinsing afterward).

Food does not reheat evenly in the microwave.

Stir food halfway through microwaving to ensure even heat distribution. Ensure the lid is vented or slightly ajar during microwaving to allow steam to escape.

Container feels brittle after freezing.

Allow the food and container to reach room temperature before attempting to open or handle forcefully, as plastic can become more brittle at very low temperatures.
