A. Products Issues

1. Q: What makes ANKOU's sealing technology unique?
   A: ANKOU is the pioneer of the one-touch press-seal technology. Our patented design allows you to open and close the container with a simple press of a button, creating an airtight seal that locks in freshness effortlessly, unlike traditional twist-off lids.

2. Q: Are ANKOU containers truly airtight and leak-proof?
   A: Yes! Our containers are designed with a high-quality silicone seal and a precision-engineered locking mechanism to be both airtight and leak-proof, perfect for storing dry goods, liquids, and preventing spills.

3. Q: What materials are used in ANKOU containers?
   A: We use food-grade materials like AS, PP, and borosilicate glass. All our materials are BPA-free and comply with international safety standards like US FDA and EU LFGB.

4. Q: What's the difference between the AS plastic and Glass series?
   A: Our AS plastic is lightweight, durable, and shatterproof, ideal for everyday use. Our Glass series, made from borosilicate glass, is stain-resistant, perfect for oily foods, and can handle temperature changes better.

5. Q: Can I use ANKOU containers in the refrigerator, freezer, or microwave?
   A: Please check the specific product page. Generally, our plastic containers are freezer-safe (not microwave-safe), and our glass containers are freezer and microwave-safe (always remove the lid).

6. Q: How do I clean my ANKOU container?
   A: Most components are top-rack dishwasher safe. For best results, hand wash the lid with warm soapy water to preserve the silicone seal.

7. Q: Why does the lid sometimes feel hard to close?
   A: This is rare. Ensure the silicone seal is properly seated in its groove and that there's no food debris. Press the button evenly in the center.

8. Q: Can I request a replacement seal?
   A: Yes, we offer replacement silicone seals. Please contact our customer service for assistance.

9. Q: Are the containers stackable?
   A: Absolutely! A core feature of our design is the stackable base and lid, saving you valuable pantry and cupboard space.
