What Flat Stacks are made of, where they can go and how to look after them.
What's The Difference Between Original Flat Stacks And Copy Collapsible Containers?
Copies can look similar online, but you feel the difference in your hand.
- Thicker, higher-grade silicone. Flat Stacks use thick, food-grade silicone that holds its shape when it's full. Many copies use thinner silicone that collapses with the slightest pressure, even with food inside, and can crack along the fold lines.
- Stronger lids. We've redesigned our lids to be stronger, longer lasting and far less likely to lose their shape.
- 5-Year Replacement Warranty on every order from flatstacks.com.au, plus our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee.
- An Aussie family business. Mother and daughter Julie and Courtney have been improving Flat Stacks since 2014, and we're here to help if anything goes wrong.
What Are They Made Of, And Can They Go In The Microwave?
Flat Stacks food containers have food-grade silicone bases and clip-on, BPA-free hard plastic lids. They go in the fridge, freezer, microwave and dishwasher. Lift the air valve before you microwave to let the steam out.
They don't go in the oven. For the oven, air fryer or BBQ hot plate (never over an open flame), choose Flat Stacks Ovenware: it's all silicone with soft silicone lids, so one dish goes from the oven to the table to the fridge. Washing the lids by hand where you can helps them keep their shape for longer.
Can I Use Ovenware In The Oven, Air Fryer And On The BBQ?
Yes. Ovenware Flat Stacks have a premium all-silicone build, so they go in the oven, air fryer, microwave and freezer, and on the BBQ hot plate (never over an open flame). Cook, serve and store leftovers in the same dish, then fold it flat to put away.
Can I Cook With The Lid On?
Yes. The soft silicone lid goes in the oven with the dish, so you can cook with it on to keep roasts, casseroles and bakes moist and stop the splatter. When you're done, the same lid keeps the leftovers fresh in the fridge.
Is Silicone Safe To Cook With?
Yes. Flat Stacks Ovenware is made from premium food-grade, BPA-free silicone, so it's made for cooking, serving and storing food, from the oven or air fryer to the table and the fridge.
Does Food Stick, And Is It Easy To Clean?
Food slides off the smooth silicone, and you can flex the sides to pop your bake straight out. No soaking and scrubbing like a glass dish. Then the whole dish, lid and all, goes in the dishwasher.
Can I Store Soups And Liquids In Them?
Yes, soups, stews and sauces included. Clip the lid on and push the air valve down for an airtight seal. When you carry them, keep them upright and don't squash them into a full bag, so the pressure doesn't push liquid out.
Will Flat Stacks Really Save Me Space?
Yes. Empty Flat Stacks fold down flat and stack neatly, saving up to 60% of your cupboard space. They squash down as the leftovers go down too, so they take less room in the fridge and freezer, and you can store them with the lids on.
What Sizes Do Flat Stacks Come In?
Originals go from small snack containers of around 250 to 350ml up to our Jumbo containers in 3, 4 and 5 litres. Ovenware goes from the 1, 1.5 and 2 litre Air Fryer Set up to the Jumbo 6 and 7 litre dishes.
What's The Difference Between Original And Ovenware Flat Stacks?
Original Flat Stacks are made for everyday food storage and go in the fridge, freezer, microwave and dishwasher.
Ovenware Flat Stacks have a premium all-silicone build with soft silicone lids, so they also go in the oven, air fryer and on the BBQ hot plate (never over an open flame). Shop Ovenware
