Quick answer
Use your Duo Pack 710ml Containers by filling them no more than two-thirds full, sealing the lid firmly, and cleaning them promptly after each use. Hand wash the lids and check the seal regularly to keep them leak-free.
Why the two-thirds fill rule matters
Overfilling is the most common cause of leaks and difficult lid closure. The 710ml size is generous, but leaving headspace allows the lid to seal properly and prevents pressure buildup when the container is moved or microwaved.
Microwave and dishwasher limits
The containers are microwave safe, but always remove the lid before reheating to allow steam to escape. Both the containers and lids are dishwasher safe, yet placing lids on the top rack and avoiding high-heat drying cycles helps preserve the seal over time.
Step-by-step: use and care for your Duo Pack 710ml Containers
- Fill to the fill line: Spoon food into the container, leaving at least 2 cm of space below the rim. This headspace allows the lid to seal without forcing food into the groove. Overfilling is the top cause of leaks; always leave headspace.
- Seal the lid evenly: Press the lid down starting from one corner and work around the rim until all edges click into place. A partial seal will leak. Run your finger around the lid to confirm it sits flush.
- Reheat with the lid off: Microwave on high for 1–2 minutes, stirring halfway. The lid must be removed to let steam escape and avoid pressure buildup. Never microwave with the lid on, even if it seems loose.
- Clean promptly after use: Rinse the container and lid under warm water immediately after emptying. For a deeper clean, wash in warm soapy water or place on the top rack of the dishwasher. Don't let food dry on; it makes cleaning harder and can trap odors.
- Dry and store open: Let both parts air-dry completely before stacking. Store with the lid off or loosely placed to allow airflow and prevent mildew. Storing sealed while damp encourages bacteria and smells.
