Product Information

Full details

This URBN-CHEF food storage container is ideal for anyone seeking a durable and reliable way to keep food fresh. Its key benefit is the 'Clip 'n' Lock' lid with a rubber seal for an airtight closure, significantly extending food preservation. A minor consideration is that while the lid offers vibrant colors, the container itself is consistently clear plastic, which may not suit aesthetic preferences for opaque storage.

FAQs

Is the plastic safe for storing acidic foods?

Yes, the container is made from BPA-free plastic, making it safe for storing acidic foods like tomato sauce or citrus-based dishes without leaching harmful chemicals.

Can I freeze food in this container?

While the container is durable, freezing can make plastic brittle. It is not recommended for long-term freezing. If you choose to freeze, allow the contents to thaw slightly before attempting to unseal or reheat.

How do I clean the colored locking bits on the lid?

The entire lid, including the colored locking bits, is dishwasher safe. For handwashing, use soap and water and a non-abrasive sponge.

What is the 'Clip 'n' Lock' feature?

It refers to the secure locking mechanism on the lid that, along with the rubber seal, creates an airtight and leak-proof closure for optimal food preservation.

Can I use this container for storing hot liquids?

It is not recommended to store very hot liquids, as extreme temperatures can affect the plastic over time and may pose a burn risk. It is safe for reheating previously cooked foods in the microwave.

What is the warranty period for this container?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as warranty details can vary.

Does the clear plastic scratch easily?

Like most plastic containers, the surface may be prone to minor scratches with regular use, especially if abrasive cleaning tools are used. Proper care can help minimize this.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not seal properly

Ensure the rubber seal on the lid is clean, free of debris, and properly seated. Check that the 'Clip 'n' Lock' mechanisms are fully engaged.

Container is stained or has odors

Pre-soak the container in a solution of baking soda and water for a few hours, or wash with a mild abrasive like baking soda paste. Ensure thorough rinsing.

Plastic appears cloudy after microwaving

This can occur with prolonged high-heat microwaving. Ensure the lid is removed and try to use lower power settings or shorter intervals. The structural integrity should remain intact.

Clips on the lid are difficult to engage

Make sure the lid is aligned correctly on the container. If food debris is present on the rim, clean it off. The clips may become easier to use with regular use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Airtight seal preserves food freshness longer.
  • Clear plastic allows for easy content identification.
  • Durable BPA-free material for food safety.
  • Conveniently dishwasher and microwave safe.
  • Secure 'Clip 'n' Lock' mechanism prevents accidental opening.

Cons

  • Limited color options for the container body (clear only).
  • Plastic material may be prone to scratching over time.
  • The lid's colored clips could potentially be lost if detached.
  • May not be suitable for freezing due to potential brittleness at low temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly required. The container is ready for use upon purchase. Ensure the lid's rubber seal is clean and properly seated before closing for an optimal airtight seal.

Compatibility: This container is designed for food storage. It is microwave-safe for reheating and dishwasher-safe for cleaning. Ensure the lid is placed correctly on the base to achieve the airtight seal.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Both the container and lid are dishwasher safe. For manual washing, use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the plastic.
  2. Microwaving: Remove the lid before microwaving. Ensure the container is placed centrally in the microwave. Be cautious when handling hot food.
  3. Storage: Store the container with the lid slightly ajar or separate to allow air circulation and prevent potential odors from being trapped, especially if not completely dry.
