Q: Are these snack pots leakproof?

<div class="metafield-rich_text_field"><p>Some are, some aren&#39;t. The Seal &amp; Go Snack Pots, Dressing Pot Pair and Twist &amp; Lock Leakproof Trio all use a silicone seal for a proper leakproof closure.

Buyer's Guide Snack Container FAQs

Stainless Steel Snack Pots & Containers — Buyer's Guide

Which snack container is right for you?

Leakproof for wet snacks, dips or weaning → Seal & Go Snack Pots (2 x 100ml)
Leakproof pots for dressings or sauces → Dressing Pot Pair (2 x 50ml)
A simple steel snack tub for dry snacks, nuts or fruit → Mini Snack Pod – Duo or Trio
A modular snack box with tiers and a pull-out pod → Three-in-One Snackbox
A single sandwich or salad-sized tub → Square Salad Box
Leakproof canisters for cupboard storage, in three sizes → Twist & Lock Leakproof Trio

Why choose a stainless steel snack pot over plastic?

Plastic snack tubs and Tupperware-style boxes stain, warp, and start to smell no matter how well you wash them — and the lids rarely outlast the base. Stainless steel snack pots and containers solve that problem at the material level: the steel is non-porous, so it won't hold onto beetroot juice, tomato sauce or last week's banana, and it won't crack or turn brittle the way plastic does after a few months of daily use.

Leakproof vs non-leakproof — which snack pots do you need?

Not every snack pot in this range is leakproof, so it's worth checking before you buy. The Seal & Go Snack Pots, Dressing Pot Pair and Twist & Lock Leakproof Trio all use a silicone seal to create a proper leakproof, airtight closure — ideal for dips, dressings, yoghurt or wet weaning food. The Mini Snack Pods, Three-in-One Snackbox and Square Salad Box are 100% stainless steel with a lid, but aren't leakproof — they're built for dry snacks like fruit, crackers, nuts and sandwiches, where you want a snug-fitting lid rather than a sealed one.

What sizes do the snack pots and containers come in?

Sizes range from small to substantial. The Mini Snack Pods hold 200ml each, the Seal & Go Snack Pots hold 100ml each, and the Dressing Pot Pair holds 50ml each — all good for portioned snacks or weaning. The Square Salad Box holds 600ml, suited to a sandwich or side salad, while the Three-in-One Snackbox has a 1200ml total capacity across its two tiers and pull-out pod. The Twist & Lock Leakproof Trio spans three sizes — 250ml, 500ml and 700ml — for anything from a small snack to a full packed lunch.

Are the snack pots and containers dishwasher safe?

Yes — every product in the range is dishwasher safe. The Twist & Lock canisters and Square Salad Box are also oven safe (lids off), and the Twist & Lock range is freezer safe too. None of the range is designed for the microwave — if you need a microwave-safe container, take a look at our meal prep range.

Snack Container FAQs

Our snack pots and containers are made from food-grade stainless steel — mostly 304 grade, with a small number of smaller products, like the Mini Snack Pods and Square Salad Box, made from 204 grade steel, which is a little more flexible and easier to shape into smaller items.
