Quick answer
Use your To Go Bowl Base Large with a compatible lid for portable meals, stack multiple bases for storage, and hand wash only to keep the single-wall stainless steel in top condition.
Why the single-wall design matters
The To Go Bowl Base Large is a single-wall food container, which means it does not have insulation. This makes it lightweight and stackable, but it also means hot foods will cool faster and cold foods will warm up. Plan your meal timing accordingly—pack it right before you leave or use it for room-temperature snacks and salads.
Choosing the right lid
The base is sold without a lid, so you need to purchase a compatible Flat Lid or Dome Lid separately. The Dome Lid is ideal for taller items or foods with toppings, while the Flat Lid offers a more compact stack. Make sure the lid is securely snapped on before carrying to avoid spills.
Step-by-step instructions
- 1. Prepare the base: Wash the To Go Bowl Base Large by hand with warm water and mild soap before first use. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh detergents that could scratch the surface.
- 2. Add your food: Fill the 500ml base with your meal. For hot foods, let them cool slightly before packing to prevent heat from warping the lid seal. For cold foods, pre-chill the bowl for extra freshness. Do not overfill—leave a small gap at the top to allow the lid to snap on securely.
- 3. Attach the lid: Choose a compatible Flat Lid or Dome Lid. Align the lid with the rim and press down firmly around the entire edge until you hear a click. Check that the lid is fully sealed by gently tilting the bowl. If the lid feels loose, remove and reattach; a poor seal can lead to leaks.
- 4. Stack and store: Place the bowl in your bag or stack multiple bases together. The single-wall design makes them lightweight and easy to nest. For stacking, place the lid of the lower bowl flat and set the next base on top. Avoid stacking hot bowls directly on top of each other, as trapped heat can cause condensation.
- 5. Clean after use: Empty the bowl and rinse immediately to prevent food residue from drying. Hand wash with a soft sponge and mild soap. Dry completely before storing to avoid moisture buildup. Never use the microwave or dishwasher—high heat can damage the stainless steel and the lid seal.
