Product Information

Full details

This LocknLock Eco Ovenglass set is ideal for eco-conscious individuals seeking durable, versatile food storage. Its key benefit is the robust borosilicate glass construction combined with recycled plastic lids, offering extreme temperature resistance and an airtight seal. A potential caveat is that lid colours may vary due to the recycled nature of the material. This set includes three 750ml square containers, featuring shatterproof glass, recycled lids, BPA-free materials, and a design that is microwave, freezer, and oven safe (up to 400°C for the glass dish).

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are the lids interchangeable between different LocknLock container shapes?

No, LocknLock lids are designed to fit specific container shapes and sizes. The Eco Ovenglass square lids will only fit the corresponding square Eco Ovenglass containers.

Can I put the lid in the oven with the glass dish?

No, the lid is made from recycled plastic and is not oven safe. Only the borosilicate glass dish can withstand high oven temperatures (up to 400°C).

How do I clean the coloured lids?

The lids are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended) or can be hand washed with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What does 'Eco' mean in Eco Ovenglass?

The 'Eco' designation refers to the use of recyclable borosilicate glass for the containers and recycled plastic for the lids, emphasizing sustainability and waste reduction.

Are these containers safe for baby food?

Yes, the containers are made from BPA-free borosilicate glass and are safe for storing food, including baby food. They are also microwave and freezer safe.

Can I use these containers on the stovetop?

No, these containers are not designed for direct stovetop use. They are intended for oven, microwave, freezer, and refrigerator use.

How does the airtight seal work?

The lid features a silicone or plastic gasket that creates a seal with the glass rim, and the four locking tabs on the sides of the container press down firmly on the lid to maintain this airtight and watertight closure.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to lock or seal

Ensure both the rim of the container and the seal on the lid are clean and dry. Check that no food particles are obstructing the seal. Ensure the lid is properly aligned before pressing down on all four sides.

Container cracked or chipped after use

While borosilicate glass is tough, avoid dropping the containers or subjecting them to sudden, extreme temperature changes (e.g., placing a frozen container directly into a preheated 400°C oven). Inspect for damage before use.

Odors or stains on the glass

For persistent odors, try filling the container with a mixture of water and white vinegar or baking soda and leaving it overnight. For stains, use a baking soda paste as a gentle cleaner. Avoid prolonged contact with highly staining foods like tomato sauce or turmeric if possible, or ensure thorough cleaning soon after use.

Lid discolouration

This can occur with recycled plastics over time due to use and dishwashing. It is usually cosmetic and does not affect the seal's performance. Consider hand washing the lids to minimize this.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and shatterproof borosilicate glass construction.
  • Environmentally friendly with the use of recycled plastic for lids.
  • Excellent airtight seal prevents leaks and keeps food fresh.
  • Versatile use across oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher.
  • Resistant to very high oven temperatures.

Cons

  • Lid colours are not consistent due to the use of recycled materials.
  • Only the glass dish is oven safe, not the lid.
  • Square shape may not be optimal for all storage spaces or refrigerator layouts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These containers require no initial setup beyond washing. Ensure the lid and container rim are clean and dry before attempting to lock the lid for an airtight seal.

Compatibility:

  • Oven: The glass dish is oven safe up to 400°C. The lid must NOT be placed in the oven.
  • Microwave: Both the glass dish and lid are microwave safe. Ensure the lid is loosely fitted or vented during microwave use to allow steam to escape.
  • Freezer: Suitable for freezer storage.
  • Dishwasher: Top-rack dishwasher safe for both the glass dish and lid.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Hand wash with mild detergent or place in the top rack of your dishwasher.
  2. Drying: Air dry or dry with a soft cloth.
  3. Stains: For stubborn stains on the glass, a paste of baking soda and water can be used as a gentle abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh scouring pads that could scratch the glass.
  4. Lid Care: While dishwasher safe, prolonged high heat in a dishwasher might affect the longevity of the recycled plastic. Hand washing the lids may prolong their condition.
