Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to close
Ensure the container rim is clean and free of food debris. Align the lid properly before pressing down firmly around all edges to create a seal.
Container feels flimsy
These containers are designed for single-meal use and reheating. While durable, they are made of food-grade plastic and are not intended for heavy-duty or long-term storage of very hot or acidic foods if extreme durability is required. Ensure you are not exceeding recommended microwave heating times.
Food stains or odors remain after washing
For stubborn stains or odors, try soaking the container in a solution of baking soda and water for a few hours, or running it through a dishwasher cycle with a dishwasher cleaner. Ensure thorough rinsing.
Container warps in microwave
Ensure the lid is vented or removed before microwaving. Avoid prolonged heating cycles. Use for reheating, not cooking.
