The Gle2016 set utilizes LFGB-grade silicone for the body, which offers a high level of chemical stability for food storage. These round containers are designed for efficiency, providing a 60% reduction in volume when collapsed. The lids feature a vacuum-vent valve, which allows for microwave heating without having to remove the lid entirely, provided the clips are unfastened to allow steam to escape.
Specifications indicate the silicone body can handle temperatures between -40°C and 230°C. To ensure the longest life for the polypropylene lids and gaskets, it is recommended to wash them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-heat drying cycles. While the silicone is non-porous and resists most odors, it can be prone to staining from tomato-based acids, so rinsing after use with such foods is a helpful maintenance step.
If you are looking for a set with a different capacity range for picnics, the Huntoshon 3-Piece Set offers various increments for your needs.
