FAQs

What is the size range for these spill stoppers?

They are designed to fit cookware with a diameter between 13.5cm (5.3 inches) and 25.5cm (10 inches).

Can I use these on any type of pot or pan?

Yes, they are suitable for saucepans, cooking pots, and microwave dishes, provided they fall within the specified diameter range.

How do these stoppers prevent boiling over?

They sit on the rim of the pot, allowing excess steam to escape in a controlled manner, which prevents the pressure build-up that causes liquids to boil over.

Are these stoppers safe for use in the microwave?

Yes, they are microwave safe and can be used to prevent splattering when reheating food.

How should I clean the spill stoppers?

They are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. You can also wash them by hand with soap and water.

How many spill stoppers are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 5 anti-spill silicone lid covers.

Do these stoppers create an airtight seal?

No, they are designed to allow steam to escape, so they do not create a completely airtight seal. This is essential for preventing boil-overs.

Troubleshooting

Spill stopper not fitting securely

Ensure your pot or dish diameter is within the 13.5cm (5.3") - 25.5cm (10") range. Adjust the placement on the rim to find a stable position.

Still experiencing minor overflow

Check that the stopper is not completely sealing the pot. A small gap is necessary for steam to escape. Ensure the heat is not excessively high, which can overwhelm the stopper's capacity.

Stain or odor on silicone

Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water or run through a dishwasher cycle. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left for a short period before rinsing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents messy boil-overs effectively
  • Universal fit for most common cookware
  • Durable and easy-to-clean silicone material
  • Safe for use in both microwaves and dishwashers
  • Protects kitchen surfaces from spills

Cons

  • Limited to specific diameter ranges (13.5cm - 25.5cm)
  • May not provide a completely airtight seal (designed for steam release)
  • Requires active placement on the pot/dish, not a permanent fixture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply place the silicone spill stopper directly onto the rim of your saucepan, pot, or microwave dish. Ensure the diameter of your cookware falls within the 13.5cm (5.3") to 25.5cm (10") range for a secure fit. The stopper can be placed directly on the rim, allowing a small gap for steam to escape around the edges.

Compatibility: These stoppers are designed for universal fit and are compatible with most brands of saucepans, cooking pots, and microwave dishes within the specified diameter range. They are suitable for use on stovetops and inside microwaves.

Care: For easy cleaning, the spill stoppers are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, they can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to maintain their condition.
