The SCHALE Glass Case keeps dry goods visible and fresh in your pantry. Learn practical steps for filling, sealing, and cleaning this heat-resistant glass canister.
Quick answer
Use the SCHALE Glass Case to store dry pantry staples like pasta, grains, or tea in a visible, airtight container. Its borosilicate glass lid with a silicone seal keeps contents fresh, and the heat-resistant glass works in the microwave and dishwasher.
Why a Glass Canister for the Pantry?
Unlike opaque containers, a transparent glass case lets you see how much is left without opening the lid. The SCHALE design is compact enough to fit on a counter or shelf, and its 500 ml or 800 ml capacity suits small-to-medium quantities of dry ingredients.
Because the glass is heat-resistant (120 °C temperature difference), you can microwave leftovers directly in the case — but only if you remove the lid first. The lid itself is not microwave-safe, so reheat with a different cover.
How to use the SCHALE Glass Case step by step
- Prepare the case: Wash the glass body and lid with mild soap and warm water before first use. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use an abrasive sponge or cleanser — it can scratch the glass and silicone seal.
- Fill with dry goods: Pour pasta, grains, tea leaves, or snacks into the glass body. Leave at least 1 cm of headspace so the lid can sit flush without compressing the contents. Overfilling can break the seal or make the lid hard to close.
- Seal and store: Place the glass lid on top and press down gently until you feel the silicone grip the rim. Store upright on a dry, level surface away from direct sunlight. Test the seal by tipping the case slightly — if air escapes, reopen and realign the lid.
- Clean regularly: Remove all contents before washing. The glass body is dishwasher‑safe; the lid can be hand‑washed or placed on the top rack of the dishwasher. Let both parts cool completely before washing — sudden temperature changes can crack the glass.
