FAQs

Is this container safe for the freezer?

Yes, the container is freezer-safe, making it ideal for storing leftovers or bulk-prepped meals.

Can I put this in the microwave with the lid on?

Yes, but you must keep the locking flaps in the open or unlocked position to allow steam to vent.

Does the container contain BPA?

No, all LocknLock containers are made from BPA-free materials.

How do I remove food odors from the plastic?

Soaking the container in a mixture of baking soda and water for a few hours is an effective way to neutralize stubborn odors.

Are the lids interchangeable with other LocknLock sizes?

Generally, lids are specific to the container series and size; you should use the matching lid designed for your specific model.

Troubleshooting

Lid feels difficult to snap shut

Ensure the silicone gasket is correctly seated in the lid groove and check for food particles stuck in the locking flap hinges.

Container leaked during transport

Verify that all four sides are fully engaged and locked. Ensure no food particles are preventing the silicone seal from making full contact with the container rim.

Lid is stuck after microwave use

Do not force the lid. Let the container cool completely; the cooling process will normalize internal pressure, making it easier to open.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent leak-proof performance with a strong silicone seal
  • Generous 2600ml capacity holds large batches of food
  • Transparent design allows for instant identification of contents
  • Durable BPA-free plastic construction
  • Stackable square shape optimizes storage efficiency

Cons

  • The large 2.6L size can be bulky for cramped refrigerator shelves
  • Lid hinges require firm pressure to snap into place
  • Plastic may retain strong odors if not washed promptly after storing pungent foods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your LocknLock container, follow these guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: While the container is dishwasher safe, place the unit on the top rack to avoid extreme heat near the heating element. Hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is recommended to prevent scratches.
  2. Microwave Use: Always unlock the four flaps before microwaving to allow steam to escape. Avoid reheating foods with extremely high oil or sugar content for extended periods, as these can reach temperatures that exceed the melting point of the plastic.
  3. Seal Maintenance: Periodically check the silicone gasket for debris. If the seal becomes loose or dirty, remove it gently to clean, then ensure it is properly reseated in the lid groove to maintain the airtight lock.
