FAQs

Is this container truly airtight and leak-proof?

Yes, the container is designed with a hollow cylindrical silicone seal and a four-sided locking mechanism to achieve an airtight and liquid-tight seal, preventing both leaks and air penetration.

The external measurements are approximately 17.9cm (length) x 12.7cm (width) x 5.3cm (height).

Can I use this container for hot food storage?

You can use it to store hot food after it has cooled down. It is also microwave-safe for reheating, but not for cooking.

Is the material safe for children's food?

Yes, the container is made from Bisphenol-A (BPA) free plastic, making it a safe choice for storing food for all ages.

How do I clean the container?

The container comes with a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.

Can I stack multiple containers together?

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to close or seal properly

Ensure the silicone seal is clean and properly aligned within its groove on the lid. Check that there are no food particles obstructing the seal or the locking mechanism.

Container is leaking

Verify that all four locking hinges are fully engaged. Make sure the silicone seal is intact and correctly seated. Check the container's rim for any damage.

Plastic appears cloudy or stained

This is a common cosmetic issue with some plastics, especially after storing acidic or brightly colored foods. Clean with a mild baking soda paste and water, rinse thoroughly. This does not impact the container's functionality or safety.

Container smells of previous food

Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. For persistent odors, try soaking the container (without the lid) in a mixture of water and white vinegar or baking soda for a few hours before washing again.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maintains food freshness for extended periods due to its superior seal.
  • Durable and safe to use with food, being BPA-free.
  • Offers flexibility with microwave, freezer, and dishwasher compatibility.
  • Aids in kitchen organization with its stackable design.
  • Easy to monitor contents thanks to the transparent material.

Cons

  • The 550ml capacity might be insufficient for large quantities or family-sized meals.
  • While microwave-safe for reheating, it's not intended for cooking.
  • The locking mechanism requires four points of contact, which could be a slight inconvenience for some users.
  • Only one unit is included per pack, requiring multiple purchases for extensive storage needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This container requires no assembly. Ensure the silicone seal is correctly seated in its groove before locking the four hinges. For first-time use, it is recommended to wash the container.

Compatibility:

  • Temperature: Safe for use in refrigerators, freezers, and microwaves (for reheating purposes only).
  • Cleaning: Dishwasher safe (top rack recommended for longevity).
  • Materials: Made from BPA-free plastic.

Care:

  • Wash with mild detergent and warm water. A soft sponge or cloth is recommended.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the plastic.
  • When using in the microwave, ensure the lid is not sealed airtight to allow steam to escape. Do not use for cooking.
  • If storing brightly colored foods, occasional staining may occur on the transparent plastic. This is normal and does not affect the container's performance or safety.
