This image displays the Tupperware SS 4-liter plastic serving and storage bowl. The bowl is white, and it features a brown, airtight, and liquid-tight lid.
Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the bowl and lid from their packaging.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash both the bowl and lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse completely and allow to air dry, or dry with a clean cloth.
- Inspection: Inspect the bowl and lid for any signs of damage or defects. Do not use if damaged.
Operating Instructions
Filling the Bowl
- Place the bowl on a stable, flat surface.
- Fill the bowl with your desired food item. Avoid overfilling to ensure the lid can be sealed properly.
Sealing the Lid
- Place the lid onto the rim of the bowl.
- Press down firmly on the center of the lid.
- Work your way around the edge of the lid, pressing down to ensure a complete seal. You may hear a slight "click" as the air is expelled and the seal is formed.
- To verify the seal, gently lift the bowl by the lid. If the lid remains attached, the seal is secure.
Opening the Bowl
- To open, lift one edge of the lid gently to break the airtight seal.
- Continue lifting around the perimeter until the lid detaches completely.
Storage and Serving
- The bowl is suitable for refrigerator storage.
- It can be used for serving various dishes at room temperature or chilled.
- When not in use, bowls can be nested to save space. Lids can be stacked separately.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: The bowl and lid are dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Ensure all components are completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn food stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the stain, let sit for a few hours, then wash as usual.
- Odor Removal: To remove lingering odors, wash thoroughly and then place a crumpled piece of newspaper inside the bowl with the lid on for a day or two. Alternatively, a mixture of water and white vinegar can be used for soaking.
- Storage: Store with lids slightly ajar or removed to allow air circulation and prevent odors from developing.
