The Neoflam set of 3 uses a mechanical cam-lever that creates a hermetic seal by compressing a silicone gasket laterally against the interior walls. This means the seal doesn't rely on how hard you press down on the lid, but rather on the movement of the lever itself. The SAN resin body provides a high degree of clarity, making these containers an attractive addition to a countertop or open shelving. The one-handed toggle operation is designed for ease of use during active cooking.
To keep the lever mechanism moving smoothly, it is helpful to occasionally dry-brush the internal parts to remove any flour or sugar dust that might enter the gears. Specifications indicate the polymer is resistant to staining from spices like turmeric, which is a significant benefit over standard plastics. However, it is built for stationary use; the material is rigid and could crack if dropped while full. Keeping these containers out of high-heat dishwasher cycles will help prevent micro-cracks from forming in the plastic over time.
If you are looking for a container that includes integrated measurement tools, the Progressive International 3-piece set is a specialized alternative.
