FAQs
Is the 385ml container suitable for packing a full meal?
The 385ml capacity is best suited for snacks, side dishes, or smaller meal portions. For larger meals, consider LocknLock's larger capacity containers.
Can I put the lid in the microwave?
No, the lid should not be placed directly in the microwave. You must open or ajar the lid during microwave use to allow steam to escape.
How do I remove and reinsert the silicone seal?
The silicone seal is designed to lift out easily from its groove in the lid. To reinsert, align the seal with the groove and press it firmly into place all around the lid.
What does 'BPA-free' mean for this product?
BPA-free means the container is made without Bisphenol A, a chemical compound that can potentially leach into food from certain plastics. Using BPA-free materials ensures a safer storage solution for your food.
Can this container be used for freezing food?
Yes, the Locknlock Classic Plus container is freezer-safe, making it suitable for storing leftovers or batch-prepped meals.
How does the stackable design help?
The rectangular shape and uniform dimensions allow multiple containers to be stacked securely on top of each other, optimizing space in your refrigerator, freezer, or pantry and keeping your storage areas tidy.
Troubleshooting
Lid not sealing properly
Ensure the silicone seal is clean, dry, and correctly seated in the lid groove. Check that no food particles are obstructing the seal. Verify all four locking tabs are fully engaged.
Container is leaking
Confirm the lid is securely locked on all four sides and the silicone seal is properly in place. This container is designed for liquids, but extreme tilting or pressure might still cause minor seepage if not perfectly sealed.
Difficult to open the lid
Ensure the container is not under vacuum pressure from extreme temperature changes. Try gently pressing down on the lid while disengaging the tabs. Make sure the silicone seal is clean.
Container has an odor
Remove the silicone seal and wash both the container and the seal thoroughly with soap and water. For persistent odors, soak the container in a solution of water and white vinegar or baking soda for a few hours, then rinse well.
