FAQs

What is the capacity of the snack box?

The Pick Plates Pick Box Snack has a capacity of 500ml.

Is the snack box truly leak-proof?

The snack box is designed with leak-proof construction for solid foods and semi-solids. It is not intended for carrying large amounts of liquid like soup or dressing.

Can I microwave the snack box with the lid on?

Yes, you can microwave the snack box with the lid on, but you must remove the Star Stopper first. This allows steam to escape and prevents pressure buildup.

What are the dimensions of the snack box?

The dimensions are 14cm (length) x 14cm (width) x 6cm (height).

Is the silicone material safe for children?

Yes, the snack box is made from 100% food-grade silicone, is BPA-free, and plastic-free, making it safe for use by children.

How do I prevent scratches on the silicone?

Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or sharp utensils inside the box. Gentle cleaning with a soft sponge or cloth is recommended to maintain its finish.

Can I use this box for freezing food?

Yes, the Pick Plates Pick Box Snack is freezer safe, making it suitable for storing pre-prepped meals or snacks.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to open or close.

Ensure there is no food debris around the rim or seal. The flexible silicone may require a firm, even pull to open and a secure press to close.

Snacks are not staying fresh.

Confirm the Star Stopper is properly sealed after pressing out excess air. Ensure the lid is fully closed. For optimal freshness, consider using the box for drier snacks rather than highly perishable items.

The box retains food odors.

Wash immediately after use with mild dish soap and warm water. For persistent odors, try soaking in a diluted vinegar solution or a baking soda paste for a few hours before washing.

Product appears stained.

Some highly pigmented foods (like tomato sauce or berries) may cause temporary staining on lighter silicone. This is usually cosmetic and does not affect the product's safety or functionality. Try a baking soda paste or expose the stained area to sunlight for a few hours.
