The Flintronic Collapsible Set offers a practical solution for kitchen storage or light travel, utilizing platinum-cured silicone designed for high-cycle resistance during expansion and collapse. Tests show the materials are rated for temperatures ranging from -40°C to 230°C, adding a layer of safety for handling various food types. The bowl walls are designed to resist staining, while the overall unit achieves a 60% reduction in vertical height when stowed.
Specifications indicate the rim and lid are injection-molded from polypropylene to provide a structured shape. However, the lid relies on a perimeter compression seal rather than a mechanical latch. Practical use suggests that the lid may pop open if the bowl is squeezed inside a packed bag, so it is best suited for upright storage rather than transport of liquids. Additionally, the silicone surface may retain a film after use, which helps indicate when a more thorough cleaning with high-surfactant soap is needed.
For those who prefer a single-unit large-capacity option for meal prep, the Alpine Mountain Gear Large Bowl offers a different footprint for your storage needs.
You can find a variety of space-saving food containers and organizers in the collapsible silicone bowls category.
