Tupperware Oval Server 2L Instruction Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Tupperware Oval Server 2L. This versatile product is designed to simplify your food preparation, serving, and storage needs. Its innovative design allows you to prepare and serve food in the same container, and then easily cover and store any leftovers in the refrigerator. This manual provides essential information on how to properly use and care for your Oval Server to ensure its longevity and optimal performance.

Product Components

The Tupperware Oval Server 2L consists of three primary components:

• Oval Base: The main container with a 2-liter capacity, featuring gripping handles for easy handling.
• Strainer Insert: A removable, slotted insert designed for draining liquids or separating food items.
• Seal/Cover: A separate, tight-fitting lid used to cover the server for storage, especially in the refrigerator.

This image displays the Tupperware Oval Server 2L, showing its three main components: the green oval base, the white slotted strainer insert, and the green oval lid. The strainer is placed inside the base, and the lid is shown separately.

Setup

1. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect each part for any signs of damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all components (base, strainer, and seal) thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely.
3. Assembly: The strainer insert can be placed inside the oval base when needed for draining or separating. The seal is designed to fit snugly over the top of the base for storage.

Operating Instructions

The Tupperware Oval Server 2L is designed for versatile use in your kitchen:

• Food Preparation: Use the oval base for mixing or holding ingredients. The built-in strainer can be used to drain water from pasta, vegetables, or to separate solids from liquids.
• Serving: The server is suitable for presenting a variety of dishes, including cold foods, desserts, fruits, hot foods, meals, meats, salads, sandwiches, soups, and vegetables. The gripping handles ensure easy and secure transport from kitchen to table.
• Storage: After serving, any leftover food can be covered with the separate seal and stored directly in the refrigerator. The tight-fitting seal helps to keep food fresh.
• Microwave Use: The Oval Server is microwave-safe. When microwaving, ensure the seal is removed or vented to allow steam to escape. Do not use the seal in the microwave.
• Nesting and Stacking: For efficient storage when not in use, the server components are proportionally sized to allow for nesting and stacking, saving valuable cabinet space.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your Tupperware Oval Server 2L:

• Cleaning: This product is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash all components with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Stain Removal: For stubborn food stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, let it sit for a few hours, then wash as usual.
• Odor Removal: To remove food odors, wash the server and then place crumpled newspaper inside for a day or two, or soak in a solution of water and white vinegar.
• Storage: Store components clean and dry. Utilize the nesting feature to save space.
• Heat Exposure: While microwave-safe, avoid direct exposure to stovetop burners, ovens, or grills, as this can cause damage.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Seal Not Closing Properly: Ensure the rim of the server and the seal are clean and dry. Press down firmly around the edges of the seal to create a tight fit. If the seal is cold, warm it slightly under warm water to make it more pliable.
• Persistent Stains or Odors: Refer to the "Maintenance and Care" section for tips on removing stains and odors. Repeated exposure to highly pigmented foods (e.g., tomato sauce, turmeric) can cause staining over time.
• Warping: Avoid extreme temperature changes and do not place the server on hot surfaces like stovetops. Always remove or vent the seal when microwaving to prevent pressure buildup.
