FAQs
Are all five pieces in the set airtight?
No, only the three smaller canisters for tea, coffee, and sugar are designed with airtight bamboo lids to help preserve their contents' freshness. The bread bin and biscuit tin are not explicitly stated to have airtight seals.
Can I store items other than what is indicated by the labels?
Yes, you can store any dry goods you wish in the containers. However, please note that the labels ('Bread', 'Biscuits', 'Tea', 'Coffee', 'Sugar') are raised and permanent fixtures on each container.
How do I clean the Cooks Professional 5 Piece Kitchen Storage Set?
The metal bodies should be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. The bamboo lids must be hand washed only with warm, soapy water and dried immediately and thoroughly with a cloth. Do not soak the lids or place any part of the set in a dishwasher.
What are the dimensions of each item in the set?
The dimensions are: Bread tin: L33 x W18 x H25.2cm. Biscuit tin: L11.8 x W11.8 x H14.7cm. Each small tin (for tea, coffee, sugar): L10.3 x W10.3 x H13.8cm.
Are these suitable for storing liquids?
No, this storage set is designed exclusively for dry goods. It is not recommended for storing liquids or semi-liquid food items.
What materials are used for the containers and lids?
The containers are made from durable powder-coated metal, and the lids are crafted from natural bamboo.
Troubleshooting
Lids (especially on small canisters) seem loose or don't form a tight seal.
Check the rim of the container and the inside of the lid for any food particles, debris, or damage that might be obstructing the seal. For the small canisters, ensure the silicone gasket/seal is clean, undamaged, and correctly seated around the lid's edge. Realign the lid carefully when placing it on the container.
Contents in the tea, coffee, or sugar canisters are not staying fresh.
Verify that the bamboo lid is firmly pressed down and that the airtight silicone seal is properly engaged. Check the silicone seal for any cracks, tears, or signs of wear; a damaged seal may need to be replaced if possible, or the canister may not be able to maintain its airtight property. Ensure contents are completely dry before storage.
Stains or residue on the white powder-coated metal bodies.
Wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth using a small amount of mild dish soap. Immediately dry the surface with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, or bleach, as these can strip or damage the powder-coated finish.
Bamboo lids showing signs of warping, cracking, or mold.
This often indicates improper drying. Always hand wash bamboo lids and dry them thoroughly with a cloth immediately after cleaning. Never soak bamboo or place it in a dishwasher. If mold is present, clean with a diluted solution of white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water), scrub gently, and then dry completely. To prevent future issues, consider applying a food-grade mineral oil periodically to condition the bamboo.

Care Instructions
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your storage set, follow these care guidelines:
- Metal Bodies: Wipe the powder-coated metal containers clean with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Bamboo Lids: The bamboo lids should be hand washed only. Wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. It is crucial to dry the bamboo lids immediately after washing with a clean cloth to prevent water damage, warping, or mold growth. Do not soak bamboo lids, and never place them in a dishwasher, as this can cause irreversible damage.
- Airtight Seals (Small Canisters): Periodically check the silicone seals inside the small canister lids. Ensure they are clean and properly seated to maintain an effective airtight seal. If the seal becomes loose or dirty, carefully remove, clean, and reinsert it.
- General Maintenance: Store the set in a dry area. Avoid extreme temperature changes.
