FAQ:
Q: What do the numbers on the Tupperware symbols mean?
A: The numbers often correspond to the specific plastic type (such as #1 for PET, #5 for PP). These numbers are crucial for recycling and help identify how the container should be disposed of after its lifespan.
Q: Can I put my Tupperware in the dishwasher if it doesn’t have the dishwasher-safe symbol?
A: It’s best to avoid putting non-dishwasher-safe containers in the dishwasher, as the high temperatures can warp or damage the plastic. Always check the symbol first.
Q: How do I know if my Tupperware is freezer-safe?
A: Look for the snowflake symbol, which ensures the product won’t crack or become brittle when frozen.
Q: Are Tupperware lids microwave-safe?
A: Not all Tupperware lids are microwave-safe, even if the container itself is. Check the symbol on the lid to determine whether it is safe to use in the microwave.
