Before first use

Wash containers and lids in warm, soapy water or the dishwasher.

Do not

Use on a stovetop, open flame, grill, or under a broiler
Heat above 425°F (218°C)
Cut food inside the container, or use knives or sharp utensils in it
Clean with abrasive pads, steel wool, or harsh scouring powders
Microwave or bake an empty container

Handling heat

Containers get hot in the oven and microwave. Use oven mitts, and let them cool before handling. Silicone is flexible when hot, so support the base with both hands or a baking sheet when carrying food.

Cleaning and stains

Silicone can pick up color or smell from foods like tomato sauce, turmeric, curry, and garlic. This is normal and doesn't affect safety or performance. To freshen containers:

soak in warm water with baking soda, or scrub with a paste of baking soda and water;
leave them in direct sunlight for a few hours to fade stains;
for an oily film, wash in hot, soapy water with a degreasing dish soap.
