FAQs

Is the container truly airtight?

Yes, the container features a reliable rubber seal and a clip-lock lid designed to create an airtight and leak-proof seal, effectively preserving food freshness.

Can I use this container for hot food?

The container is microwave-safe for reheating. It is not intended for cooking or storing very hot food directly from the stove or oven. Allow hot food to cool slightly before sealing the lid.

What are the dimensions of the container?

The container has a height of 12cm and a volume of 2.3 liters. Specific width and depth measurements would be needed for a full dimension profile.

How do I clean the container and lid?

The container and lid are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended). You can also wash them by hand with warm, soapy water. Ensure the rubber seal is clean for optimal performance.

Is the plastic safe for food?

Yes, the container is made from BPA-free plastic, ensuring it is safe for storing all types of food.

What colors are available for the clip-lock lid?

The clip-lock lids are available in vibrant blue, purple, and red, allowing for easy identification of different food types or family members' containers.

Can this container be used in the freezer?

Yes, the container is suitable for use in the freezer. However, be aware that plastic can become more brittle at very low temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not seal tightly

Ensure the rubber seal is properly seated in the lid groove and is free of food debris. Wipe both the seal and the container rim clean. Press down firmly on all corners of the lid to ensure the clips engage fully.

Container appears warped after microwaving

Remove the lid entirely before microwaving. Use the microwave-safe feature for reheating, not for cooking at high temperatures for extended periods. Allow food to cool slightly before covering.

Difficulty opening or closing the clips

Check for any obstructions or dried food particles around the clips or lid edges. Ensure the container is not overfilled, which can put pressure on the lid. If clips feel stiff, gently flex them to ensure they are not binding.

Container retains odors

Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after use. For persistent odors, try soaking the container in a solution of water and baking soda or vinegar for a few hours before washing again. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively keeps food fresh with its airtight seal.
  • Safe for food contact due to BPA-free materials.
  • Convenient for both reheating (microwave) and cleaning (dishwasher).
  • The clip-lock system provides a secure and leak-proof closure.
  • Generous 2.3L capacity is suitable for family-sized portions or bulk storage.

Cons

  • Plastic may not be ideal for very long-term high-temperature storage.
  • Color options for lids might be limited depending on availability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This container requires no assembly. Simply ensure the lid and container body are clean before first use. Align the lid with the container rim and press down firmly on all four corners to engage the clip-lock mechanism. You should hear or feel a click as the seal engages.

Compatibility:

  • Microwave: Safe for reheating food. Remove the lid before microwaving to allow steam to escape and prevent warping.
  • Dishwasher: Top-rack safe for easy cleaning. Ensure the lid is also placed securely to prevent damage.
  • Freezer: Suitable for freezing food, though extreme cold can make plastic more brittle.
  • Refrigerator: Ideal for storing food.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wash with warm, soapy water or place on the top rack of your dishwasher. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that can scratch the plastic.
  • Lid Maintenance: Ensure the rubber seal is clean and free of debris to maintain an airtight seal. Inspect the clips for any damage.
  • Stain Prevention: For brightly colored foods like tomato sauce or curry, it's recommended to wash the container immediately after use to minimize potential staining.
