Product Information

Full details

The SPARES2GO Vacuum Food Storage Glass Containers are ideal for meal preppers and home cooks who prioritize long-term freshness and leak-proof reliability. By utilizing a manual vacuum pump, these containers significantly extend the shelf life of ingredients by reducing oxidation, though the manual nature of the pumping mechanism requires a few seconds of extra effort during the storage process.

FAQs

Are these containers dishwasher safe?

While the glass base is generally dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash the lids to ensure the vacuum valve and date dials continue to function correctly.

Can I use these in the freezer?

Yes, these glass containers are freezer safe. Ensure you leave a small amount of headspace to allow for expansion.

Do I need to use the pump every time?

Using the pump is optional for short-term storage, but it is highly recommended to use it to achieve the full freshness preservation benefits.

Can I microwave these containers?

You can microwave the glass base, but always remove the lid before heating to prevent pressure buildup.

What if the date dial becomes loose?

The dial is designed to stay in place, but if it feels loose, ensure it is properly snapped onto the lid center; avoid over-scrubbing it during cleaning.

Troubleshooting

The lid is difficult to remove

Ensure you have released the vacuum by pulling up on the silicone valve before trying to unlock the clips.

The container won't hold a vacuum

Check the rubber sealing ring for debris or crumbs; clean the ring and the rim of the glass thoroughly, then re-seal.

The pump feels stuck

Check the valve for any trapped food particles and ensure the pump is pressed firmly onto the valve surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly extends food shelf life
  • Leak-proof seal prevents messes in bags
  • Durable glass does not absorb food odors
  • Built-in date tracking for better inventory management
  • Includes a dedicated manual vacuum pump

Cons

  • Requires manual effort for every sealing session
  • Larger footprint may take up more space in small fridges
  • Glass is heavier than plastic alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the containers, place your food inside and snap the lid clips firmly into place. Position the manual pump over the valve on the lid and pump until you feel resistance, which indicates that the vacuum seal has been achieved.

To release the vacuum, gently lift the silicone valve before attempting to undo the lid clips. For cleaning, hand washing is recommended to maintain the integrity of the sealing rings and the longevity of the date dials. While the glass base is robust, avoid thermal shock by not moving the container directly from a freezer to a preheated oven.
