How does it work in the microwave?
Yes, you read that right, these steel boxes are microwave-safe. We know everyone's been taught that metal isn't microwaveable, but that's only partially true. There are definitely some metals that shouldn't be microwaved, but that doesn't include the high-quality stainless steel we use. This type of steel, combined with the smooth, rounded shape of steel boxes, makes them non-sparking and microwave-safe.
Is there anything I need to know about microwaving these boxes?
Yes, any large (and we mean large) dents or deep scratches may make the box unsuitable for microwave use, so be mindful of them. Also, don't microwave silverware or aluminum foil with the boxes, as they can cause sparks. Be sure to heat only one box at a time for a maximum of 2 minutes before stirring to reheat, and don't touch the edges of the microwave with the box. It will take a little longer to heat your food in these boxes than in plastic or regular glass; however, because the lid can remain closed (with the lid latch open), they heat up faster than other steel boxes. Also, note that the box will be hot when you remove it from the microwave, so you may want to use a kitchen towel. These boxes have undergone extensive (very extensive) testing to ensure maximum safety standards.
Are there foods I should avoid when microwaving these boxes?
You should avoid foods that heat to extreme temperatures, such as popcorn or sugar, as they can cause burns. Also, note that very oily/acidic foods can stain the lids (but won't affect their functionality).
Can I also put the lid in the microwave?
Yes! We specifically designed the lid to eliminate the need for single-use plastic wrap to prevent splattering in the microwave. Just make sure the lid latch is open (to prevent pressure buildup and release steam), and you're good to go.
Can I put it in the dishwasher, freezer and oven?
Yes, yes, and yes. The meal prep sets are dishwasher-safe (the lid is on the top rack only), freezer-safe, and the steel box is oven-safe (not the lid). When freezing, be careful not to overfill, especially if preparing meals with liquids, as they can expand when frozen.
Are these boxes leak proof?
This is definitely an incredibly important feature for us. Leak-proof means peace of mind, and there's no point using a reusable lunch box if you have to wrap it in a plastic bag! The vacuum-sealed lid lock ensures this line is 100% leak-proof and airtight, which also means your meal prep will stay fresher for longer, further reducing food waste. Win-win!
How do I remove the cover?
These steel boxes are leak-proof due to the vacuum seal on the lid, but this can mean they're difficult to open (almost impossible, in fact, until you break the seal). You break the seal by simply pressing the button to release the lid latch.
