Glass Roaster & Storage Container Care

Quick Answer

To keep your Kuhn Rikon glass roaster and storage containers in top condition, hand wash with mild detergent, avoid thermal shock, and store them with care to prevent scratches and cracks.

Step-by-Step Care Guide

1. 1. Cool Before Cleaning: Always let your glass roaster or storage container cool completely before washing. Placing hot glass under cold water can cause it to crack. A common mistake is rushing to clean a hot dish—patience prevents damage. Wait until the glass is cool to the touch before washing.
2. 2. Hand Wash with Mild Detergent: Use a soft sponge or cloth with warm water and a mild dish soap. Avoid steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh cleaners that can scratch or cloud the glass. For stubborn food residue, soak the container in warm soapy water for 15 minutes before scrubbing. Never use abrasive scrubbers—stick to non-scratch sponges.
3. 3. Dry Thoroughly Before Storing: After washing, dry the glass completely with a lint-free towel or let it air dry on a drying rack. Moisture trapped inside a stacked container can lead to mold or odors. A common oversight is storing glass while still damp. Ensure every surface is dry before stacking or putting lids on.
4. 4. Store with Care: If stacking glass containers, place a soft cloth or paper towel between them to prevent scratches. Store lids separately or loosely on top to avoid pressure on the rims. Avoid storing glass near the edge of shelves where it can be knocked off. Use separators between stacked glass items to protect their surfaces.
5. 5. Avoid Thermal Shock in the Oven: For glass roasters, never place a cold dish directly into a preheated oven. Always place the glass roaster in a cold oven and let it heat up gradually. Similarly, do not put a hot roaster on a cold countertop or wet surface—use a trivet or cooling rack. Always start glass roasters in a cold oven and let them cool on a dry trivet.
