Scoops, anyone?
Because these stainless steel containers are awesome for so many reasons, you can now purchase them separately to have extras on hand or, if you are like me, you've started using your lunch box scoops for leftovers so you need a few more. Whatever it is, these scoops (and lids) are great for dips, sauces, and salsa! Freshness is guaranteed with the easily removable silicone leakproof lid.
Fits inside The Explorer lunch box.

Silicone Components
Silicone can absorb strong fragrances from soaps (dishwasher or by hand). We HIGHLY recommend using a non-fragrant dish soap for this reason when caring for your silicone (we love Unscented Company DishwasherTabs). If your silicone has absorbed some smells or fragrance, you may find your child will not like the taste and thus may not complete their lunch. We recommend testing un-eaten foods every now and then to determine if this may be why your child is not eating all of their lunch.
Getting rid of scents + fragrances in silicone
Here are a few different methods we have tested and customers have shared on how they have gotten rid of smelly kitchen silicone products:
1. Vinegar + Baking Soda Soak (1:1 ration of vinegar and water will also work)
Here what to do:
-
In a separate sink/bowl, fill (just a few inches deep) with very hot water and vinegar (equal parts)
-
Sprinkle in a teaspoon of baking soda (you should see a fizzing - if you don't add a bit more)
-
Mix and let the silicone soak for a few hours (overnight ideally)
-
Rinse and dry
You may need to repeat this a few times - depending on how strong the scent.
Here's what to do:
- Fill a pot up with 3/4 water and 1/4 white vinegar (enough that your silicone components are submerged)
- Add a table spoon of non-fragrant dish soap (optional)
- Boil for 10-15 mins
- Remove from water, rinse, and dry
Silicone Seal Falling Down
We find that with pure platinum silicone there can be a natural shrinkage from time to time. If you experience this, use both hands to 'stretch your silicone seal' all the way around, replace it into the container, and secure it along the edges, close it firmly, and re-open to ensure it's set back in tightly. Should you continue to experience issues, please reach out to customer support at hello@thegoodkiind.com for assistance.
Loose Latches
Over time, latches may loosen with normal use. We sell our replacement latches directly on the website. Should you ONLY need to purchase a latch replacement, reach out to customer support and we can work with you on the cost of shipping.
