Frequently Asked Questions
What makes borosilicate glass different from regular glass?
Borosilicate glass differs from regular glass because it has a higher resistance to thermal shock, meaning it can withstand sudden temperature changes without cracking. It’s also more durable, lightweight, and non-toxic, making it safer for food storage and cooking. This makes borosilicate glass ideal for kitchen use, especially for containers that go from freezer to microwave or oven.
Do the lids come in different colours or finishes?
No, the Groovo Transparent Airtight Storage Containers Set of 6 does not offer lids in multiple colors or finishes. All lids in this set are uniformly designed in a deep periwinkle blue shade, providing a cohesive and elegant look across all containers.
Are there coordinating pantry jars or matching kitchenware available in the same design or colour?
Yes, Nestasia offers coordinating kitchenware that complements the Groovo Transparent Airtight Storage Containers. For instance, their Groovo Airtight Containers for Food Storage Set of 6 features a deep periwinkle blue lid, which pairs well with other kitchen items in similar hues. Additionally, Nestasia's Stackable Food Storage Containers Set of 6 showcases a matching color palette, ensuring a cohesive look across your kitchen storage solutions.
Is there a risk of the glass cracking or breaking over time with regular use?
With regular use, there is no risk of the borosilicate glass cracking or breaking because it’s designed to be durable and resistant to thermal shock. However, like all glassware, it can break if dropped or exposed to sudden, extreme temperature changes. Proper care, such as avoiding harsh impacts and not exposing the containers to rapid temperature shifts, will help maintain their longevity.
Are the containers free from BPA and other harmful toxins?
Yes, the containers are made from high-borosilicate glass and BPA-free materials, ensuring they are free from harmful toxins.
