Has anyone else had a problem with this recently? I ordered one for my kit enhancement and am sending back my FOURTH one. I love the other three I have, but this one leaked. Of course the first one leaked beet juice! I tested the other three on receipt and they all leak at the corner.
 
Im not having an issue with leakage, but I am having an issue with the lids not wanting to snap on and don't want to come off when I freeze them
 
Sent back one, also. This might sound silly, but try flipping the lid around. When the word Pampered Chef on the lid goes the same way as the words on the bottom of the glass container, the snaps work and the lid is tight.

took me a while to figure this out :rolleyes:

I'll have to try that one the one they let me keep. The others lock so tight I have to work very hard at getting them on/off.

Still leaks out of the right corner. And they told me I'd get another label for the return, but I didn't get it. Does that mean I have to call them?
 
I've already had to replace a few covers for customers. Tomorrow I have to call for another customer. I know that *I'm* having issues with small chips on the sides of the glass portions, and I have a couple of covers that will not stay snapped. :( I love these products, and am so disappointed that after a few months of use, I'm having issues with them.
 
Can't remember if I mentioned this, but I froze some meatballs in the large one. When my husband tried to open it, one of the "wings" snapped off.
 
Did you check your email for the label? I assisted a customer with a return and her mailing label was sent to her via email. She had to print it (could only get one shot at printing it, per the HO cust. service.)

I did check my email as that's how I got the two return labels before...
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my Leakproof 5.25 Container is leaking?

If your Leakproof 5.25 Container is leaking, first check to ensure that the lid is properly secured. Make sure the silicone seal is clean and free from debris. If the seal appears damaged or worn, consider replacing it. Additionally, avoid overfilling the container, as this can cause leaks.

How can I clean the Leakproof 5.25 Container to prevent leaks?

To clean your Leakproof 5.25 Container, disassemble the lid and wash all parts with warm, soapy water. Pay special attention to the silicone seal, as food particles can get trapped there. Rinse thoroughly and allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling to ensure a proper seal.

Is the Leakproof 5.25 Container dishwasher safe?

Yes, the Leakproof 5.25 Container is dishwasher safe. However, it is recommended to place the lid on the top rack to avoid exposure to high heat, which can damage the silicone seal. Hand washing is also a good option to prolong the life of the container.

The Leakproof 5.25 Container is ideal for storing liquids, sauces, and foods with high moisture content, such as soups and stews. It can also be used for dry foods like snacks and leftovers. Just ensure that the food is not too hot when placing it in the container to avoid damaging the seal.

How can I tell if the silicone seal needs to be replaced?

You should consider replacing the silicone seal if you notice any visible cracks, tears, or warping. Additionally, if you experience frequent leaks even after ensuring the lid is properly secured and the container is not overfilled, it may be time for a replacement seal.
