PRO TIPS
- Make sure lids are fully dry before storing
- Make sure both the lid and dish are completely dry & free of oily residue or food before sealing.

- If your lid gets unusually stuck to a surface, very gently pull the stretch lid parallel to the surface it is on (kind of like a Command strip off a wall). Avoid pulling it away from the surface as your lid might tear.
