FAQs

Can these pots be used in a conventional oven?

No, these casserole pots are designed exclusively for microwave use. They are not suitable for conventional ovens or stovetops.

Are the lids completely airtight?

The lids are designed to fit securely but feature vents for safe steam release during microwave cooking. They are not intended for airtight storage.

What are the exact dimensions of each pot?

The set includes three sizes: Large (L24.4 x W22 x H7cm), Medium (L19 x W19 x H6.2cm), and Small (L16.1 x W16.1 x H5.5cm).

How do I clean the pots?

Can I freeze food in these pots?

Yes, the pots are freezer safe, making them convenient for storing meals in advance.

What material are the pots made from?

The pots are made from durable, microwave-safe materials.

Troubleshooting

Food is not heating evenly

Ensure food is spread evenly in the pot and stir halfway through the cooking time. Check that the microwave's turntable is rotating correctly.

Lid is difficult to remove after cooking

Ensure the lid's vent is fully open before attempting to remove it. Allow steam to escape fully. Be cautious as the pot will be hot.

Stains appearing on the pots

Some staining may occur with tomato-based or strongly coloured foods. Clean immediately after use with a mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left for a short period before rinsing.
