    Are your food containers dishwasher safe?

    Our foodware products are top-rack dishwasher, freezer, and microwave (reheat only) safe.

    Dishwasher: We use a special type of plastic in our Ultra Food Storage containers that allow them to be bottom rack safe as well, however, we don't recommend this because some dishwashers have extremely high water temperatures that could warp the lids.

    Microwave: As with any container with a lid, the lid should be loosened before reheating food in the microwave.

    How are Sterilite products made?
    Virtually all of our items are made by a process called injection molding. We melt plastic and inject it into a mold. After the plastic cools and becomes solid, we take the part out of the mold, cool it and pack it. Here is the process in a bit more detail...
