The Sistema® KLIP IT range is versatile, stackable, and durable, resolving all food storage needs. The modular stacking shapes ensure the most efficient use of space in the fridge, freezer, and pantry. Sistema’s easy locking clips and flexible seal ensure food stays fresher for longer.
Care Guidelines:
- Remove all labels/packaging and wash before use.
- Sistema® KLIP IT containers are safe for normal household dishwashers (top rack only). Ensure the containers are secure on the top rack, this prevents them from contacting the heating element and avoids melting.
- For a thorough clean, remove the flexible seal from the lid and wash separately.
- Warm soapy water can also be used to wash the containers.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers as they may cause dullness to the finish.
- Do not use utensils with sharp edges (e.g., knives) in the container. They could scratch or scuff the container surface.
- Dry the lid and container before reassembling.
Microwaving:
- Sistema® KLIP IT containers can be used to reheat pre-cooked foods (without lid).
- Follow the recommended food storage directions, use, or heating instructions, based on the knowledge about the food or the information on the food label. Also follow the microwave manufacturer’s recommendation when defrosting or reheating foods.
- When microwaving, remove the lid to allow steam to vent. To prevent splattering, cover with a paper towel. Sealing plastic lids while heating may create extra pressure causing the lid to warp or create dangerous steam build-up.
Freezing:
- Sistema® KLIP IT containers are safe for freezer use.
