FAQs

Are these containers truly leak-proof?

The vented lids are designed to prevent spills during normal transport. For very liquidy foods like thin soups, it's always best to keep the container upright during transit to ensure no leakage.

What is the best way to clean them?

They are dishwasher safe on the top rack, which is recommended. Hand washing with warm, soapy water is also effective and can help extend the product's lifespan.

Can I put the lids in the dishwasher?

Yes, the lids are also dishwasher safe, recommended for the top rack.

Are these safe for baby food?

Yes, all Sistema containers are made from BPA-free materials, making them safe for storing and reheating food for all ages, including babies.

How do I prevent odors in the containers?

Ensure containers are washed thoroughly immediately after use. If odors persist, try soaking in a mixture of water and white vinegar or baking soda for a few hours before washing again.

Can I use these containers in the oven?

No, these containers are not oven-safe. They are designed for microwave, freezer, and refrigerator use only.

What does BPA-free mean?

BPA-free means the plastic used in manufacturing does not contain Bisphenol A, a chemical that some people are concerned about. This ensures a safer food storage option.

Troubleshooting

Lid not sealing properly

Ensure the container rim and lid are clean and free of food debris. Check that the lid is correctly aligned with the container before clipping it down. The plastic may need to be slightly warmed if it's been in a very cold environment.

Container is stained after storing food

Try cleaning with a paste of baking soda and water, or soaking in a mild bleach solution (follow product instructions for bleach dilution). Wash thoroughly afterwards. Using the dishwasher on the top rack can also help with stain removal over time.

Steam not escaping during microwave use

Verify that the vent on the lid is fully opened before placing the container in the microwave. Ensure the vent itself is not blocked by food particles.

Container cracked or broken

While durable, extreme temperature changes or physical impact can cause damage. Inspect the container for any signs of damage and discontinue use if compromised. Contact customer support if the product is within its warranty period.
