NO MICROWAVE
Not microwave safe. Steel reflects microwaves — it's simply not what steel is for. Reheat on the hob or in the oven instead; that's where this material shines.
304 is the grade food-industry hygiene standards use as their benchmark for food-contact metal — and it's 100% recyclable, infinitely, with no loss in quality. At the end of its very long life this container melts back into exactly the same steel. Single-material construction means no mixed waste to separate — just steel, going around again.

No microwave — steel just isn't made for it.
Steel reflects microwaves — so the food heats unevenly, the energy bounces back at the oven, and a dent or sharp edge can even spark. It's simply not what steel is for. Reheat on the hob or in the oven instead — that's where this material shines.
Not fully airtight.
The steel lid is shaped to grip the rim and lock on tight — a mechanical friction fit, no gasket, no clips, just steel on steel. Laid flat it stays securely sealed, and it stays put through the fridge, freezer and a packed cupboard. Not fully airtight, so not for carrying liquids loose in a bag — but for home storage it holds firm, and dry food travels fine.
Opaque, so you label it.
You can't see through steel. Paper tape names the dish and date and works every time; a wax crayon is the low-waste choice, though it takes a dab of cooking oil on a towel to wipe off.
“YAN investigated what's really in your food containers. We built what they couldn't find.”
Loopware was born from a YAN investigation. YAN — our sister brand — publishes Consumer Intelligence Reports on what's really in everyday products. A series of those articles dug into kitchen-related problems — including what's hidden in the things we store food in. Readers asked YAN to find something better; the market didn't have it, so we built it.
