FAQ
-
Does any plastic touch the food?
No. Only the silicone panels touch the food.
-
Is it BPA-free?
Yes, both the panels and the frame are free of BPA, Phthalates, PVC and Lead.
-
Can I microwave it?
Yes. Simply vent open the SoftShell when microwaving. Do not microwave it when it’s closed.
-
Will it leak?
SoftShells are designed to hold condiments like ketchup and ranch, but we don't recommend it for thin, watery liquids or soups.
-
How do I clean it?
Due to its lay-flat design, it easily fits in the dishwasher just like a plate on the bottom rack. Cleaning it that way on a regular basis is the fastest, simplest method. The silicone panels can be removed from the frame for deep cleaning, but THE PANELS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE REMOVED EVERY TIME.
-
How do I sterilize the silicone panels if I wish to do so?
Simply peel the silicone panels from the frame and place them in boiling water for a few minutes. When they’ve fully cooled, place them back into the frame. Do not put the plastic frame in the boiling water.
-
How do I put the panels back into the frame?
We recommend starting at one of the corners and pressing every half inch or so. It’s only recommended to remove the panels every so often as doing so can take a couple of minutes.
-
Will red sauce stain the silicone?
Red sauces, turmeric, and pesto will likely stain the silicone panels. If it does, simply remove the silicone panel from the SoftShell frame, place it in a flat tray, fill the well of the panel with 3% hydrogen peroxide, and allow it to soak for 12 hours.
-
Do I need to lock the SoftShell every time?
No. I don’t lock it when packing the Little Bee’s sandwich in her school lunch bag to make it easier for her to open. We only lock it when it contains food that easily spill or there’s a decent chance of dropping it.
I bought several of these for myself and my mom and we both love them! Plus the owners threw in a bunch of reusable straws and grocery bags for free, which I thought was so kind! I will be buying several more for Christmas presents this year. I’ve always been a Stasher follower, but Big Bee Little Bee has them beat.
I have numerous silicon items of various thicknesses - these seem middle of the road, although they have the rigid frame so can be thinner. If the hinge holds out I think they are perfect for portioning and stacking.
Fantastic quality and wow the whole shopping experience was great, personal and positive.
Love it! Keeps food fresh. Very convenient and easy to use.
I love these so much! Very portable, they fit almost anywhere. I like how you can microwave your food right in them, without having to worry about the weird half melted texture that plastic baggies get.
