Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Cirqula container, avoid using sharp metal utensils that could scratch the interior surface. When using in the microwave, ensure the lid is completely removed to prevent warping or melting due to trapped steam. For cleaning, place the bowl and lid on the top rack of your dishwasher. If you store pungent foods like garlic or spicy sauces, rinse the container immediately after use to prevent potential staining or lingering odors. The container is designed to be fully compatible with other items in the Cirqula series for a cohesive storage system.
