How to properly clean your Stainless Steel Lunch Box after cooking

Before using the dishwasher, it is necessary to remove the seal from the lid. There are no specific temperature requirements for the dishwashing process itself. It is then important to carefully dry both the lid and the groove in which the seal sits. This ensures that the seal is firmly seated again and can reliably fulfill its function. Before you sterilize your lunch box, it is necessary to remove the seal from the lid. You should then place the lunch box in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Please be careful when doing this to avoid burns. After the lunch box has been boiled, it is important to carefully dry both the lid and the recess for the seal. This will ensure that the seal works perfectly again the next time it is used.
