Sizing Seals

Sometimes you'll have a new Tupperware product, just shiny out of the bag ready to be used...and lo and behold...the seal is so tight it's difficult to put on or even just plain too small to seal on at all.  Often this is the case with our very small seals on Midgets or the old Quick Shake containers and for some reason seems to occur fairly regularly with the Microwave Cereal Bowls and the Freezer Mates.

This is the #1 "problem" I am asked about, and funny thing is, in about 99% of the cases it isn't a problem, just a sizing exercise!

Tupperware needs to be so tight in the first place to achieve that 'air and liquid tight' seal.  Tupperware seals and containers are engineered to very specific dimensions in order to fit on tight enough to properly seal out air and seal in liquids but still be easily removable and functional.  Sometimes these very tight parameters err on the too small side making it next to impossible for the average consumer to properly apply the seals.  Rather than force the seals and risk damaging them (or yourself...yes, I've done it...)  try this trick and see if you can size your seal to fit properly:

1) Run tap water until it is hot.
2) Rinse seal under hot tap water.
3) Apply the hot, pliable seal to your container (which is still at room temperature.)
     If at this point the seal is still too small to fit, call your Consultant (that's me...right?!?)
4) Leave sealed container to cool overnight or for the afternoon.
5) Your seal should now be properly sized to your container and be much easier to apply!

NOTE: After a run through the dishwasher you may need to run this sizing exercise again as the high heat of the dishwasher can resize your seal to it's original too-small fit.  After a couple of goes though though, it should permanently be sized properly.
