Product Information
Full details
The ZWILLING Fresh & Save Cube La Mer Box is designed for home cooks and organizers seeking to maximize kitchen efficiency and food freshness. Its key benefit is its modular, stackable design that saves space and its compatibility with the Fresh & Save vacuum pump system to extend food shelf life. A potential caveat is that the vacuum pump is sold separately, and the NFC labels for app integration require additional setup.

FAQs
Is the vacuum pump included with the box?
No, the ZWILLING Fresh & Save vacuum pump is sold separately and is required to use the vacuum sealing function.
Can I store liquids in this container?
This container is primarily designed for dry goods. While it has an airtight seal, it is not intended for storing large volumes of liquids, especially when vacuum sealing, as it may lead to leaks or damage to the pump.
What are the dimensions of the 1800ml box?
The dimensions are approximately L21.4 x W10.7 x H15.2 cm.
How do I clean the container and lid?
Both the container and the lid are dishwasher-safe. For optimal hygiene, the silicone seal and valve can be removed and hand-washed.
What is the material of the container and lid?
The container and lid are made from BPA-free plastic.
Can I freeze food in this container?
While the container is durable, it is not specifically rated for freezing. It is best used for dry storage, refrigerated storage, or pantry organization.
How long does food stay fresh when vacuum sealed?
Vacuum sealing can extend the shelf life of food significantly, often by 2-5 times longer than traditional storage methods, depending on the food type. For example, berries might last a week instead of a couple of days.
What is the purpose of the NFC labels?
The NFC labels allow you to connect the box to the ZWILLING app on your smartphone. This helps you track what's inside each box and monitor its shelf life, providing a digital inventory of your stored food.
Troubleshooting
Vacuum pump not removing air effectively
Ensure the lid is fully closed and the seal is properly seated. Check that the valve is clean and free from debris. Ensure the pump attachment is firmly connected to the valve.
Container lid does not seal properly
Inspect the silicone seal for any damage or debris. Ensure the lid is aligned correctly and pressed down firmly all around to create a tight seal.
Food spoils faster than expected
Confirm that the vacuum function was properly activated and maintained. Ensure the seal is intact. The box is designed to enhance freshness, but it is not a substitute for refrigeration for perishable items.
NFC labels not recognized by the app
Ensure your phone's NFC is enabled. Try moving your phone closer to the NFC label. Re-label the box using the ZWILLING app if the label is damaged or improperly applied.
