FAQs
Is the Trixie Silicone Snack Cup truly spill-proof?
Yes, the cup features flexible silicone flaps designed to prevent most spills. While vigorous shaking might cause some minor leakage, it is highly effective at containing snacks during normal handling and movement.
What is the capacity of the snack cup?
> Info needed: Specific volume or weight capacity of the snack cup.
Can I put hot food in the snack cup?
Yes, the cup is made from 100% food-grade silicone and is microwave and oven safe, allowing you to warm food directly in the cup.
How do I clean the snack cup if it develops a smell?
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and allow to air dry, preferably in sunlight, which can help eliminate odors. You can also try a baking soda paste for a deeper clean.
Is this snack cup suitable for infants?
Yes, it is suitable for children aged 4 months and up, making it appropriate for introducing solid snacks to infants under supervision.
What are the dimensions of the snack cup?
The snack cup measures approximately 8 cm in diameter and 8 cm in height, with a depth of 11 cm when considering the handle.
Can the snack cup be used for liquids?
While the flaps are designed for solid snacks, they may not create a completely watertight seal for liquids. It is best used for dry snacks or semi-solid foods.
Troubleshooting
Snack cup is difficult to clean
Ensure all food particles are rinsed out immediately after use. For stubborn residue, soak in warm, soapy water before washing or running through the dishwasher.
Flaps feel stiff or don't seal properly
Ensure the cup and flaps are completely dry. If the flaps seem permanently deformed, check for damage. Wash and condition silicone periodically with food-grade silicone conditioner if available.
Snack cup has an odor
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and allow to air dry completely in sunlight if possible, as UV rays can help neutralize odors. Avoid storing strong-smelling foods in the cup for extended periods.
Child has trouble accessing snacks
Ensure the child is using the correct technique to push through the flaps. For younger children, you might need to assist initially. The flexibility of the flaps should allow easy access once they understand how to use them.
