Food Box FAQ

• Lightweight and leakproof, Rise Food Boxes come in multiple sizes with adjustable and removable dividers and nesting capabilities for ultimate flexibility. Keep snacks, salads, lunches and leftovers safe and secure until it’s time to dig in.
• Lightweight design and 90% post-consumer recycled steel construction saves energy in the manufacturing process.  Rise Food Boxes are good for the environment and good for your peace of mind.
• Stainless steel won’t stain rust, shatter or impart flavours.
• Eliminate the need for single use plastics when taking meals and snacks on the go.
• They’ll last a lifetime and can be recycled at end of life.
• BPA, BPS, BPF and plastic free (if using without divider). 

That’s right you read it correctly. Rise Food Boxes are specifically designed to be microwave safe with smooth rounded edges that prevent arcing or sparking. Think of it this way: forks are not microwave safe because electric current can move between the tines whereas the smooth, rounded design of a spoon doesn’t present the opportunity for arcing and sparking. Rise Food boxes are like spoons – microwave safe.  

• Do not use in microwaves exceeding 1000W in power.
• Do not exceed 5 minutes in microwave.
• The vessel or base of the food boxes are the only components that are microwave safe. Lids and removable dividers should not be placed in the microwave. If the lid is included it will introduce the possibility of arcing/sparking between the lid and the vessel.
• There should only be one vessel in the microwave at a time. Similar to the reasoning for not including a lid in the microwave, a second vessel would provide opportunities for sparking/arcing.
• Make sure that the vessel is not touching the sides of the microwave.
• Don’t forget that the contents and container may be hot so use caution.

• Just the vessel/base of the food box, is oven safe up to 350F, or 176C, for up to 20 minutes. Be sure to remove the lid and/or the divider before placing the vessel in the oven.
• The lid and the divider should not be put in the oven. Doing so can damage the lid and divider resulting in them not performing as designed.
• The vessel is not meant for baking or cooking. It is intended for reheating food.
• Don’t forget that the contents and container may be hot so use caution. 

Absolutely! Our entire line of Rise Food Boxes, as with many of our products, are dishwasher safe. Some dishwashers run hotter than others. The vessel and lid can go anywhere in the dishwasher, but we recommend putting the divider on the top rack if possible.

Good question. Some might think it is for opening the box. Nope. Peeling the corner of the box upward will work much better for that. The tab on the top of the Half Snack box is to help the user pull it out of the larger Rise food boxes that it is designed to nest within.  

This is so you can burp the box. When the lid is placed on the vessel, air can become trapped inside. By simply lifting the flexible corner while pressing the lid down you will ensure a tight leakproof seal. Be sure to engage the snap-and-lock tabs on the sides and you are good to go!
