FAQs
Is the spork included with the Bowl'n Lid?
No, the spork is not included with the Bowl'n Lid lunch box. However, it features a practical holder designed to accommodate a Light My Fire Spork or similar utensil.
What are the dimensions of the Bowl'n Lid?
The dimensions are approximately 195 mm in width, 185 mm in depth, and 60 mm in height.
Can I use this for hot soups?
Yes, the bowl is microwave-safe for reheating. However, ensure the lid is not completely sealed when heating to allow steam to escape. For transport, ensure the soup level is low enough to prevent leaks, as the lid is tight-fitting but not hermetically sealed.
Is the green color prone to fading?
The color is integrated into the material. While durable, like most plastics, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh dishwashing detergents could potentially lead to slight fading over extended periods.
How many pieces are in a pack?
The product is sold as a single piece (1 pc/s) per pack.
What type of plastic is it made from?
It is made from biobased plastics, which are BPA-free, making it safe for food contact and a more environmentally friendly option.
Can I freeze food in this container?
While the material is durable, freezing can make plastics brittle. It is not specifically recommended for long-term freezer storage. For short periods, ensure the container is not filled to capacity.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to close or open
Ensure the rim of the bowl and the inside of the lid are clean and dry. Press down firmly on the lid edges to create a seal. If it remains stiff, try flexing the lid gently around the edges.
Minor staining on the interior
For light stains, try washing with a paste of baking soda and water. For stubborn stains, a brief soak in a mild bleach solution (followed by thorough rinsing) or a dishwasher cycle may help.
Food smells linger after washing
Wash immediately after use. Air dry the bowl and lid separately. Placing them in direct sunlight for a few hours can also help dissipate odors.
Spork holder feels loose
The spork holder is designed to securely grip the spork. Ensure the spork is inserted correctly. If the holder itself feels damaged, contact customer support.
