2. Setup and First Use

Before using your new Tupperware Modular Spice Shakers, follow these steps for proper preparation:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all shakers from their packaging.
2. Wash: Wash each shaker body and lid with liquid soap and lukewarm water. Use a soft sponge or cloth to avoid scratching.
3. Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is completely rinsed off.
4. Dry: Allow all components to air dry completely before assembly or storage. For best results, store without seals initially to ensure freshness.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1. Filling the Shaker

1. Remove Lid: Gently lift the hinged lid completely off the shaker body.
2. Add Spice: Carefully pour your desired spice into the shaker. Do not overfill; leave a small space at the top to allow for proper lid closure.
3. Replace Lid: Align the lid with the shaker body and press down firmly until it clicks into place, ensuring a secure seal.

3.2. Dispensing Spices

The shaker lids offer two dispensing options:

• For Shaking (Small Holes): Open the hinged seal to expose the end with small holes. Invert the shaker and gently shake to dispense finely ground spices like salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
• For Pouring (Large Opening): Open the hinged seal to expose the end with the larger opening. This is ideal for dispensing coarser spices, herbs, or larger quantities.

3.3. Stacking

The modular design allows for efficient storage. Simply place a smaller shaker on top of a larger one, or stack shakers of the same size, ensuring they align securely.

4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your Tupperware Modular Spice Shakers.

• Cleaning: Wash shakers with liquid soap and lukewarm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
• Drying: Always dry thoroughly before storing. For optimal freshness, store containers without their seals when not in use for extended periods.
• Temperature Guidelines: Tupperware containers can withstand temperatures up to 80°C (176°F).
• Hot Contents: Allow hot foods or liquids, especially those containing fats (like cooking oil, grease, curries, soups, or sauces), to cool before placing them in the containers and applying the seal.
• Dishwasher Use: While Tupperware is generally dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended for best results and to preserve the clarity and finish of the polycarbonate material. If using a dishwasher, place on the top rack.

5. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Lid is Hard to Open/Close:

  New Tupperware lids can sometimes be stiff. Repeated use will typically loosen them. Ensure the lid is properly aligned before attempting to close. If it's still difficult, try running the lid under warm water for a few seconds to make it more pliable before closing.

• Lid Does Not Seal Correctly:

  Check for any spice residue or debris along the rim of the shaker or the seal of the lid. Clean thoroughly. Ensure the lid is aligned correctly and pressed down firmly on all sides until it clicks into place. Avoid overfilling the shaker, as this can prevent a proper seal.

• Spices Clumping:

  This is often due to moisture. Ensure spices are completely dry before filling the shakers. Store shakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Consider adding a few grains of rice to the shaker (if appropriate for the spice) to absorb excess moisture.
