Know before you buy
No, this container is not microwave or oven safe. The 18-8 stainless steel construction is designed for food preparation and storage, not for heating.
The silicone lid provides a secure press-fit seal, but it is not airtight or leak-proof. It is best suited for keeping ingredients covered during prep or storing dry items in the refrigerator.
These items are not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing them with mild soap and a soft sponge to maintain the finish and integrity of the stainless steel.
The strainer allows you to easily separate liquids from solids, making it ideal for tasks like draining washed vegetables, thawing frozen ingredients, or straining stocks.
While the silicone lid can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C, the container itself is not intended for freezer storage. It is designed primarily for kitchen prep and short-term refrigeration.
