Our glass EasyClip containers are dishwasher safe. They can also be washed by hand using warm water, mild detergent and a gentle brush or sponge. Do not use a scouring pad.
You can remove stubborn and burnt-on food residue by filling the dish with warm water and washing-up liquid and letting it soak. Pour warm water and a little washing-up liquid into the dish and soak for about an hour. Then wash the container with a sponge and/or brush for a sparkling clean result in no time. Afterwards, dry the dish with a clean tea towel.
We recommend that you don't try to remove the rim from the lid of your storage box. This could damage the lid. Sometimes, water can get trapped in the lid of Modula storage boxes during cleaning. Tapping the lid against the palm of your hand a few times should remove any remaining drops of water.
Cracks in your Modula storage box are likely to be caused by "Environmental Stress Cracking". This is one of the most common causes of cracks and splits in plastic.
You can prevent this by not exposing your Modula storage boxes to extreme fluctuations in temperature, moisture and high temperatures . We advise using a dishwasher programme no hotter than 65-70ºC.
We recommend a maximum of 2 minutes at 700 watts. It's also important to stir the contents regularly to ensure that they are heated evenly.
The lid of the multi bowl is not suitable for use in the microwave. Check out the microwave lids specially designed for our Cirqula multi bowls.
We are often asked if the Mepal Cirqula multi bowl's lid is microwave safe. It's an obvious question since the bowl itself can be used in the microwave. Unfortunately, the lid cannot.
Why can't the Cirqula lid be put in the microwave?
The multi bowl's lid is not suitable for the microwave because of the material it is made from. Temperature differences in a microwave oven can cause this material to expand or shrink, which means the lid may not form a perfect seal afterwards.

The best way to close and seal the Cirqula multi bowl is to lift the rim a little while pressing down on the lid. This allows some of the air to escape, creating a slight vacuum, which makes the lid fit more securely.
We recommend using the EasyClip storage box in the steam oven for a maximum of 30 minutes at 100°C. A useful feature of the EasyClip is that the lid can also be used in the steam oven. However, if you use the lid in the steam oven, it is important to open the steam vent. You can do this by flipping up the clip.
We recommend using the EasyClip storage box in the microwave for a maximum of 2 minutes at 600–750 watts. Stir the contents regularly to ensure they heat evenly.

Our EasyClip storage boxes are made of borosilicate glass.
The main advantages of borosilicate glass:
- Safer to use: Borosilicate glass is stronger and more shock-resistant than normal glass. The glass dishes are robust and less likely to crack, break or shatter.
- Light and clear: Borosilicate glass weighs 10% less than normal glass. This makes the dishes lighter and easier to use. The glass is also scratch resistant.
- Heat resistant: Borosilicate glass has a higher melting point than regular glass. This gives the glass dishes excellent heat resistance and allows them to withstand rapid temperature changes. The dishes can therefore go directly from the freezer to the oven (from -20°C to 200°C). Good to know: the glass dishes can be used in the oven and microwave. They are also safe for use with barbecues and airfryers (maximum 550°C).
- Gets less hot: Borosilicate glass retains less heat than glass or metal. When used in the microwave, the dish becomes less hot than the food it contains.
- Does not discolour: borosilicate glass will not stain, even when used to cook foods like bolognese or curry.
- Made from 25–30% recycled glass.

The lids of our Lumina storage boxes cannot be used in the microwave. The container itself can be used in the microwave without the lid.
Why can the lid not be used in the microwave?
The material the lid is made from is not suitable for use in the microwave, so we cannot guarantee that it will still have a perfect seal afterwards. Temperature differences in the microwave may cause the lid to expand or shrink slightly. This can stop the lid from sealing properly.
