FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Stainless Steel Container Set, from everyday food storage to microwave reheating and easy care.
Are Genicook stainless steel containers microwave-safe?
Yes! Our versatile stainless steel containers are suitable for microwave reheating when used as directed. Simply remove the lid, use a power setting of 1000W or less for up to 10 minutes, and make sure the container doesn't touch any other metal surfaces or components inside the microwave.
I thought metal wasn't microwave-safe. What makes these containers different?
It's a common misconception that all metal must stay out of the microwave.
While ordinary metal containers can cause sparking, certain specially designed stainless steel containers can be microwave-safe when used correctly.
Microwave safety depends on factors like the container's design, shape, and construction—not just the material itself.
That's why it's important to follow the recommended heating instructions for your Genicook containers.
Why can't I put the lid in the microwave?
While the center of the lid is made of glass, the edges are made of plastic and are not microwave-safe. To prevent potential damage or warping, always remove the lid before reheating your food in the microwave.
How do I safely use these containers in the microwave?
For safe reheating:
- Always remove the lid.
- Keep the container from touching any other metal objects, metal containers, racks, or metal surfaces inside the microwave.
- Do not exceed 1000W or 10 minutes of heating.
- Follow your microwave manufacturer's instructions regarding metal containers.
- Stop heating immediately if sparking occurs.
Is there a maximum microwave power or heating time?
Yes! For safe reheating, use a microwave power setting of 1000W or less and limit heating to 10 minutes maximum.
Always follow these guidelines and your microwave manufacturer's instructions.
Can I microwave the containers with the lids on?
No. Always remove the lids before microwaving.
Only the stainless steel container bodies are designed for microwave reheating.
Can I put multiple stainless steel containers in the microwave at once?
We recommend heating one container at a time to prevent contact between metal surfaces and ensure safe reheating.
Will the containers get hot after microwaving?
Yes. The containers may become hot as heat transfers from the food during reheating.
Always use oven mitts or a kitchen towel when removing them from the microwave.
Are these containers oven-safe?
Yes! The stainless steel container bodies are designed for oven use, too.
Remember to remove the lids before placing them in the oven and follow the recommended oven temperature limits.
Are these containers dishwasher-safe?
Absolutely! Our stainless steel containers are dishwasher-safe, making cleanup simple and convenient.
Why choose stainless steel over plastic food containers?
Stainless steel is a durable, reusable alternative to plastic food storage containers.
Unlike many plastic containers, stainless steel resists staining and lingering food odors, helping keep your containers looking and feeling fresh.
Plus, Genicook's versatile design makes meal prepping, storing, and reheating food easier—all with fewer dishes to wash.
