- Is it really leak-proof?
- Yes, the silicone gasket and four locking clips form a tight seal that holds liquids when the lid is fully closed. Keep the container upright for very thin liquids over long trips.
- Can it go from freezer to oven?
- The glass is oven safe, but let it thaw or warm gradually. Placing a frozen container straight into a hot oven can crack the glass.
- Is the lid oven safe?
- No. Remove the lid and gasket before oven or microwave use; the lid is for storage only.
- How does it compare with plastic containers?
- It is heavier and costs more, but glass does not stain, hold odors or warp, and it handles heat that plastic cannot.
- What capacity does it hold?
- About 1.9 quarts, roughly 7.6 cups, which suits a family-sized portion of leftovers or a batch of prepped food.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- The glass base is dishwasher safe. Hand wash the lid and gasket to keep the seal working longer.
