Yes, yes, and yes.
My plastic lunch containers are FDA-approved for microwave use. They are made with the highest grade polypropylene plastic (#5), a plastic that will not leach harmful chemicals when heated or cooled. More info HERE.
Freezing is absolutely fine. Just like any other container though, be sure to leave room in each compartment for expansion. Food expands while freezing, and this could lift the lid off while in the freezer. Also, if the frozen food is stuck to the lid, it’s best to allow the food to thaw somewhat before attempting to remove the lid. The lid is a rigid plastic and if you try to remove it with force, it could snap if, indeed, it is stuck to the frozen food.
Clean your containers in your dishwasher. They are top-rack safe. Please keep them away from the heating element and do not push them haphazardly between other dishes because, with forceful agitation of water, the edges may crack if wedged too tightly between other items.

Here’s the answer!

No. They are not leakproof. Although EasyLunchboxes containers hold food securely, they are not designed to be leakproof, and I don’t recommend putting really wet food or liquid into any of the compartments. For a compartmentalized container to be completely leakproof, this would require carefully sealing all of the compartments, every time. Most children are not able to do this consistently, and if you send such a container to school properly sealed, it may not come home that way; leftovers could be dripping out everywhere.

EasyLunchboxes lunch and snack containers* are made from BPA-free, FDA-approved, food-safe polypropylene (#5). They are safe for refrigerator, freezer, microwave, & dishwasher. EasyLunchboxes containers are much sturdier and last quite a bit longer than flimsy reusable/disposable containers.

As with all hard plastics, cracking may eventually occur. My soft-sided cooler bags will protect the containers and help prevent breakage. This is why I recommend that you use my custom-fit, cushioned coolers to protect your  lunch containers. Other lunch bags may be ill-fitting or too hard. If dropped while in the wrong type of cooler, the container or lid may become damaged. Should you ever notice any sharp edges, please stop using, to prevent injury to little fingers. Consider purchasing an extra set to have on hand.

*Mini Dipper lids are made from #4 Polyethylene (LDPE) for flexibility and leak-resistance. Not for use in microwave. The Mini Dipper container is #5.

Yes. Please read more about that HERE.

At this time we do not offer the lids or container bottoms separately.

They’re sold in packs of four because most people don’t pack 5 lunches ahead of time. Typical families have 2 kids or 2 parents that take lunches to work and so that would be 2 packed for lunch, 2 that can be in the dishwasher. Obviously, there are a myriad of combinations and different preferences, but I chose offer them in a 4 pack, keeping your total purchase price lower, and the amount even.

They’ll last a long time with a little TLC.

Remove odors from a lunch bag by placing inside, a plate w/a slice of bread that has been soaked in white distilled vinegar. Zip and leave overnight. My reusable lunch bags can be wiped clean with a damp or soapy cloth, inside or out. Even put them in the washing machine (place in a mesh laundry bag and wash w/cold water/’delicates” soap/gentle cycle/air dry). They come out great!
