Are your food storage containers safe for everyday use?
Yes! All our containers are made from high-quality, food-grade materials that are BPA-free and safe for storing fresh, cooked, or dry foods. They’re designed to keep your meals safe and free from harmful chemicals.
What’s the best type of container — glass, plastic, or stainless steel?
Each type has its advantages. Glass is durable and ideal for reheating, plastic is lightweight and great for lunches, while stainless steel is strong and eco-friendly. Choose based on how and where you’ll use it most.
Are these containers microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe?
Most of our containers can handle all three — just check the product details. Glass and BPA-free plastics are safe for reheating, while stainless steel should not be used in the microwave.
Why is an airtight seal important?
An airtight seal keeps food fresher for longer by preventing moisture, odours, and bacteria from getting in. It also helps stop spills when you’re storing soups or leftovers.
How do I choose the right container size?
Smaller containers (250ml–500ml) are great for snacks and sauces, medium (1L–2L) for lunches or leftovers, and large (3L+) for meal prep and pantry storage. Having a mix makes your kitchen more flexible.
How should I clean and care for my containers?
Wash with warm soapy water or use the top rack of your dishwasher if they’re dishwasher-safe. Avoid harsh scrubbers and ensure lids are fully dry before storage to prevent mould or odour build-up.
Are your containers BPA-free?
Yes, all our plastic containers are 100% BPA-free. This ensures no harmful chemicals leach into your food, even when used in the freezer or microwave.
Do you offer leak-proof lunch containers?
We sure do! Many of our lunch boxes and meal prep containers come with secure locking lids and silicone seals to keep soups, dressings, and liquids safely contained while you’re on the go.

Do food storage containers help reduce waste?
Yes, quality containers keep food fresh longer and encourage meal planning, so you waste less. They also help cut down on single-use packaging — great for your wallet and the planet.
Can I store both dry and wet food in the same type of container?
Yes, as long as the lid seals tightly. Airtight containers work perfectly for dry foods like nuts and cereals as well as for wet foods like curries, soups, or sauces.
Do you have stackable storage sets for kitchen organisation?
Yes! Many of our container sets are stackable, saving space in your pantry or fridge while keeping everything neat and easy to find.
