Product Information

Full details

This LocknLock Round Storage Container is ideal for home cooks and meal preppers seeking reliable food preservation and transport. Its key benefit is a 100% airtight and watertight seal, ensuring food stays fresh longer and preventing spills. A minor caveat is its specific 1.8L capacity, which might require multiple containers for larger batches. The container features durable, BPA-free plastic construction, a patented four-hinge locking system with a silicone seal, and is safe for refrigerator, freezer, microwave (reheating), and dishwasher use.

FAQs

Is the LocknLock container truly 100% airtight and watertight?

Yes, the patented system with four locking hinges and a silicone seal is designed to provide a 100% airtight and watertight seal, effectively preventing leaks and preserving freshness.

What materials is the container made from?

The container is made from durable, BPA-free polypropylene (PP), making it a safe and eco-conscious choice for food storage.

Can I use this container in the freezer?

Yes, the container is freezer-proof, allowing you to store food for extended periods.

Is it safe to reheat food in the microwave with this container?

Yes, it is safe for microwave reheating. However, it's important to vent the lid or leave it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape and prevent pressure buildup.

How should I clean the container?

The container is dishwasher safe, making cleanup convenient. For best results, place it on the top rack. You can also hand wash it with mild soap and warm water.

What are the external measurements of the 1.8L container?

The external measurements are approximately 14.2 cm in width and depth, and 18.6 cm in height.

Can I use this container for storing hot liquids?

While the container is microwave safe for reheating, it is not designed for storing very hot liquids as they may deform the plastic or create excessive steam pressure if sealed.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to close or seal.

Ensure the silicone seal is properly seated in the lid groove and is free from food debris or damage. Check that the container rim is clean and dry. Align all four locking hinges correctly before pressing down.

Container seems to be leaking.

Verify that all four hinges are fully locked. Inspect the silicone seal for any tears or gaps. Ensure the container opening and lid rim are completely dry before sealing.

Plastic has become cloudy or scratched.

This can occur with repeated use, especially in dishwashers. Use non-abrasive cleaners for handwashing and consider placing on the top rack of the dishwasher. Avoid harsh detergents.

Container retains odors.

Wash immediately after use. For persistent odors, try soaking the container in a solution of baking soda and water for a few hours, or wash with a mild vinegar solution. Ensure thorough rinsing.
