Polycarbonate and BPA.

LIPAVI containers and lids hold the water bath, not the food. In sous vide cooking, food is sealed in a bag before it goes into the water, so it does not come into direct contact with the container, the lid or the rack.

What the products are made of

LIPAVI containers and lids are made from polycarbonate, a crystal-clear and very strong plastic. Bisphenol A (BPA) is used to make polycarbonate, and polycarbonate products can contain small amounts of it. We understand that many people want to know about this before they buy.

How to use LIPAVI as intended

• Seal food in bags made for sous vide cooking before it goes into the water bath.
• Use the container for the water bath, with the rack holding the sealed bags in place.
• Do not use the container, lid or rack to store, marinate or serve unpackaged food.
