Getting to Know Your Silo Containers
Silo containers are designed to help keep your food fresher for longer with their innovative, vacuum-sealing features and high-quality, sustainable materials. Here’s everything you need to know about each part of the container, its durable construction, and its unique vacuum-sealing design.
Container Parts Overview
Each Silo container is made up of different parts that work seamlessly together to create an airtight seal, extending the shelf life of your food. Here's a closer look at each component:
- Splatter Cap: Controls the release of vacuum pressure by preventing air from rushing in a direct stream (that could scatter particles and liquids).
- Upper Seal: This component ensures the lid has a tight, airtight lock to preserve the vacuum and keep your food fresh.
- Air Port: The point where air is extracted during the vacuuming process.
- Air Tunnel: Channels the air out of the container.
- Lower Seal: Provides a seal between the silo device and the container during the vacuum process.
- Vacuum Indicator: Displays when a proper vacuum seal has been achieved, so you know your container is vacuumed and securely sealed.
- Lid Rocker: A small lever designed for quickly and easily releasing the vacuum. With a simple press, you can open the container, complete with that satisfying whoosh of air rushing back in.
Durability and Safe Materials
Silo containers are made with Tritan™, a high-quality, BPA-free material designed for safe, everyday use:
- BPA-Free: Made from FDA-approved materials with no harmful chemicals.
- Highly Durable: These containers are built for longevity and repeated use without sacrificing integrity.
- Microwave Safe: Quickly reheat your leftovers in the same container (but remember to release the vacuum first).
- Dishwasher Safe: Easy to clean, so you can toss them right into the dishwasher.
- Freezer Safe: Tough the Silo containers are intended for fridge and pantry storage, you can also safely store food in the freezer without worrying about breakage or warping.
- Leakproof: Perfect for everything from soups to sauces, these containers keep all your liquids securely sealed without any mess.
Thoughtful Design for Everyday Food Storage
Silo containers are built with smart design features to make vacuum-sealing all food types – including liquids and small particles – incredibly easy:
- Vacuum From the Bottom: Air is pulled from the bottom of the container, allowing you to vacuum-seal foods like soups, casseroles, spices, and ground coffee without the risk of clogging. Best of all, you don't need to manually connect any tubes or devices to the container. Simply place it on the Silo base, and it will automatically vacuum-seal your food effortlessly.
- Ideal for a Range of Foods: From delicate items like berries to powdery substances like ground coffee or spices, these containers manage anything you throw at them, ensuring the vacuum-sealing process is consistent and efficient.
Why Silo Containers Stand Out
Silo containers combine functionality, durability, and ease of use to elevate food preservation in your kitchen. Thanks to their clever, patented vacuum design, they handle liquids and fine particles with ease, keep your food fresher for longer, and help you reduce waste in a way that's both convenient and reliable.
Built to last and designed for busy lifestyles, Silo containers offer peace of mind whether you’re storing last night’s stew, leftover casseroles, or freshly ground coffee – all while keeping your food fresher longer.
