FAQs
Are these containers truly leak-proof?
The lids have secure clips and are designed to prevent spills during normal transport. However, they are not guaranteed to be 100% leak-proof for liquids if the container is turned completely upside down for extended periods. Always ensure the vent is closed when not reheating.
Can I use these containers on a stovetop?
No, these containers are not designed for stovetop use. They are intended for refrigerator, freezer, and microwave use only.
What is the temperature range for these containers?
The containers are safe for use in the refrigerator and freezer. They are also microwave-safe for reheating food. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations.
How do I clean the lids properly?
The lids are top-rack dishwasher safe. For optimal longevity of the sealing mechanism, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended.
Can I freeze soups or liquids in these containers?
Yes, you can freeze soups and liquids, but allow them to cool slightly before freezing and do not fill the container to the brim, as liquids expand when frozen.
Are the different sizes stackable?
The rectangular containers of the same size are designed to stack within each other when empty for storage. The breakfast bowl may stack with certain other Sistema containers but is primarily designed for its standalone use.
What does BPA-free mean for my food?
BPA-free means the plastic is made without Bisphenol A, an industrial chemical that has raised health concerns. Using BPA-free containers ensures that no potentially harmful chemicals leach into your food.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to close
Ensure the container rim and lid edges are clean and dry. Align the lid properly before pressing down the clips.
Container retained odors after washing
Wash immediately after use. For persistent odors, try soaking in a mixture of baking soda and water, or leaving the container in sunlight for a day (ensure it's clean first).
Container cracked after freezing
Ensure containers are rated freezer-safe and avoid extreme temperature changes. Allow food to cool slightly before placing in the freezer.
Vent on lid is stuck
Gently try to pry it open with a non-sharp utensil. Ensure no food residue is blocking the vent mechanism.
