Expert Review and Insights
The Sistema Klip It range is a staple in professional kitchens for a reason. It nails the basics brilliantly. The construction is sturdy enough for daily knocks, and the locking mechanism is one of the most reliable I’ve come across for a non-vacuum container. It’s a simple, no-fuss product that just works, which is exactly what you want when you’re in the weeds.

- Pro: The four-clip locking system creates an incredibly secure, confidence-inspiring seal.
- Con: Remember that the lid isn't microwave-safe, a small but important detail.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Brecon Kitchen', a busy farm shop café in Powys, Wales, were struggling with inefficient food storage. They relied on a mix of mismatched containers that didn't stack well and had unreliable seals, leading to food waste and a disorganised cold room.
"These Sistema containers have been a revelation. They stack like a dream, so our fridges are instantly tidier, and we know the food inside is properly protected. The secure clips mean no more accidental spills when we're in a rush. It's a small change that has made a big difference to our daily prep."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
By standardising their storage, Brecon Kitchen reduced spoilage-related food waste by over 10% and cut down prep time thanks to a much more organised system.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash the container and lid thoroughly in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Ensure the flexible seal inside the lid is seated correctly in its groove.
- When closing, press the lid down firmly before closing the clips on opposite sides for the best seal.
- Label the container with a non-permanent marker to easily identify contents and dates.
Keeping It Going
- The container and lid are safe for the top rack of your dishwasher.
- To prevent staining, avoid microwaving foods high in fat, sugar, or oil, like tomato sauces.
- Never place the lid in the microwave, as it can warp and compromise the seal.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this container really 100% leak-proof?
A: Yes, when the lid is correctly sealed with all four clips locked, the flexible inner seal creates a completely leak-proof and airtight barrier, making it safe for soups and sauces.
Q: Can you stack these containers when they're full?
A: Absolutely. The Klip It Plus range is designed specifically for stacking. The lids have raised edges that fit neatly with the base of the container on top, creating a stable stack.
Q: Will strong foods like curry or tomato sauce stain the plastic?
A: Foods high in colour, fat, or oil can sometimes cause slight discolouration over time, especially if microwaved. We recommend rinsing immediately after use to minimise this.
Q: Is the plastic brittle when it comes out of the freezer?
A: The plastic is designed to be freezer-safe and remains durable. However, like any plastic, it's best to let it sit for a minute or two at room temperature before trying to open the clips.
Q: What does BPA-free mean?
A: BPA (Bisphenol A) is an industrial chemical that can be found in some plastics. BPA-free means our containers are made without it, ensuring they are food-safe.
Q: Can I remove the seal in the lid for cleaning?
A: Yes, the seal can be carefully removed for thorough cleaning and easily pushed back into its groove afterwards. This helps prevent any mould or mildew build-up.
Q: What is the main difference between this and a cheaper supermarket container?
A: The key differences are the robust construction designed for commercial use, the patented and highly reliable leak-proof seal, and the superior, food-safe materials (BPA & Phthalate free).
Q: Can I use this for proving dough?
A: Yes, the 7.5 litre capacity and airtight seal make it an excellent choice for proving bread dough, as it creates a stable, draft-free environment.

Explore more from SistemaHow the Airtight Seal Locks in Freshness
Ever wondered what makes the 'Klip It' system so secure? It's not just the clips. Inside the lid, there’s a flexible, continuous seal that presses down firmly onto the rim of the container base. When you lock the four clips on each side, they apply even pressure all the way around. Think of it like tightening the bolts on a wheel in a star pattern – it creates a perfectly balanced, uniform seal. This stops air from getting in and moisture from getting out, keeping food fresher for longer and making the container genuinely leak-proof, even if it gets knocked over in transit.
