Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all four spice containers and their seals from the packaging.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all components (containers and seals) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely or dry with a clean cloth.
- Attaching Seals: Place the black seal onto the rim of each container. Press down firmly around the entire edge of the seal to ensure a secure, airtight fit. You may hear a slight click as the seal engages.
Operating Instructions
- Filling the Containers: Remove the seal from the container. Fill the container with your desired spice or dry ingredient. Do not overfill; leave a small space at the top to allow the seal to close properly.
- Securing the Seal: Re-attach the black seal to the container, pressing firmly around the edges until it is fully seated. Ensure the flip-top openings are closed.
- Using the Dispensing Openings:
- For shaking: Open the smaller, perforated flip-top lid to dispense finely ground spices.
- For spooning/pouring: Open the larger flip-top lid to access a wider opening for spoons or for pouring larger quantities.
- Maintaining Freshness: Always ensure both flip-top lids are securely closed when not in use to maintain the airtight and liquid-tight properties of the container.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: The Tupperware MODULAR MATES Small Spice Set is dishwasher safe. For best results, place containers and seals on the top rack of your dishwasher. Alternatively, hand wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Ensure all components are completely dry before reassembling and storing to prevent moisture buildup.
- Material Safety: This product is BPA-Free, ensuring safe food storage.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the stain, let it sit for a few hours, then wash as usual.
Troubleshooting
- Difficulty Attaching Seals: If seals are difficult to attach, try soaking them in warm water for a few minutes to make them more pliable. Ensure the container rim and seal are dry before attempting to seal.
- Seals Not Feeling Airtight: Double-check that the seal is pressed down evenly around the entire perimeter of the container. Ensure no food particles are caught between the seal and the container rim.
- Difficulty Opening Flip-Top Lids: New seals can be tight. Gently pry open the flip-top lids using a fingernail or a small, blunt utensil until they loosen with use.
