6. Troubleshooting

Handles Detaching Easily:

If the removable silicone handles appear to detach too easily, ensure they are correctly aligned and firmly slid into the grooves on the sides of the glass container. The design allows for removal for cleaning, but they should fit snugly during use. If issues persist, ensure the handles are not worn or damaged.
