FAQs

Are these containers freezer safe?

While the plastic is durable, we do not recommend freezing these containers, especially with liquids that expand, as this could potentially cause the container to crack.

Can I use these containers in the oven?

No, these containers are not oven-safe. They are designed for refrigeration, microwave reheating, and general food storage.

What is the capacity of each container in this set?

Each container in this set has a capacity of 1100ml.

What are the dimensions of the 1100ml containers?

The 1100ml containers have a height of 8cm. Specific length and width dimensions are not provided but are designed to be stackable.

How do I clean the lids effectively?

The lids are dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Ensure the rubber seal is clean to maintain an airtight fit.

Are the lids interchangeable with other URBN-CHEF containers?

The 'Clip 'n' Lock' lids are designed to fit the corresponding container sizes within the Fresco line. Compatibility with other URBN-CHEF series may vary.

What does '100% recyclable' mean for these containers?

This means that the materials used to make the containers can be processed and remade into new products at the end of their usable life, contributing to waste reduction efforts.

Troubleshooting

Lid not sealing properly

Ensure the rim of the container and the lid's rubber seal are clean and free from debris. Check that the lid is aligned correctly before clipping down all four corners firmly.

Container has a persistent odor

Soak the container in a mixture of baking soda and water for a few hours, or wash thoroughly with a vinegar solution. Ensure it is completely dry after washing.

Container appears cloudy or scratched

Cloudiness can sometimes occur after microwave use or dishwashing. Minor scratches are normal wear and tear for plastic; avoid abrasive cleaning methods to minimize future scratching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Airtight seal effectively preserves food freshness.
  • BPA-free materials ensure safe food storage.
  • Microwave and dishwasher safe for maximum convenience.
  • Clear design allows for quick content identification.
  • Stackable design saves valuable kitchen space.
  • Available in multiple colors (blue, purple, red) and sizes.

Cons

  • Plastic may be susceptible to scratching with abrasive cleaning.
  • Lid color is fixed for this specific set (blue).
  • Not suitable for oven use.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid cracking if dropped from a height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. Simply ensure the container and lid are clean before first use. When closing, align the lid with the container rim and press down on all four corners to engage the 'Clip 'n' Lock' mechanism until a secure fit is felt.

Compatibility: These containers are designed for food storage. They are safe for use in microwaves (without the lid, or with the lid ajar) and dishwashers (top rack recommended for longevity of the lid seal). They are not suitable for oven use or for freezing if the contents expand significantly.

Care: For best results and to prolong the life of the container and lid, hand wash with mild soap and water. While dishwasher safe, frequent high-heat cycles may affect the lid's sealing performance over time. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the plastic surface. Ensure containers are completely dry before stacking to prevent moisture buildup.
