* The performance is tested under standard laboratory conditions

HAUTECASE Comes in two different volumes – 1.1 litre capacity and 1.5 litre Capacity.

HAUTECASE is made of insulated metal body that comes along with a Plastic Lid (Stack Lid) with stainless steel bottom. The user has the freedom to choose between Stack lid or Glass lid or both.

Hautecase

HAUTECASE is made of the best-in-class materials for consumer food ware. The metal body uses food grade stainless steel 304, which has high corrosion resistance to usage with standard food product. The antiskid bottom of the casserole is made of high impact resistant co-polyester with elastomer.

The lids are available in two options:

One made with Tritan (Stack Lid), which is a BPA free plastic. Tritan is impact-resistant — products can be used without fear of shattering and bottom food contact surface with stainless steel 304 Second one is a glass lid which is a 4mm thick tempered glass with food grade silicone lining and a knob.

A. Hautecase Metal Body - Not recommended for Dishwasher

B. Hautecase Lids (Stack & Glass) – Dishwasher Top rack Safe.

Metal Body: Always rinse the metal body after use in warm water. Any mild dishwashing liquid can be used to clean the product. The external surface of the metal body must be cleaned only with a soft sponge, since usage of abrasive cleaning pads/ scrubbers / steel scrubbers can cause damage to the exterior paint finish.

The inner surface of the metal body can be cleaned with a scrubber. Do not use steel scrubbers as they can leave small steel pieces and scratches on the inner stainless-steel surface.

Stack & Glass Lid: Hand wash the lids in warm water (<60⁰C) with mild detergent.

HAUTECASE is designed to withstand bumps and nicks of everyday usage. Any drop from greater heights (beyond 1 Meter) will impact the structural integrity of the product.

For a safe and leak-proof experience, always fill HAUTECASE to the fill line marking engraved on the metal body as shown below.

Hautecase

Yes, the Lids (Stack & Glass) materials used in HAUTECASE are BPA-free and food safe.

No. Storing any vacuum-insulated product in the refrigerator might damage the vacuum seal.

No, it is not microwaveable.

There is a getter material placed between the shells in the vacuum region for enhanced thermal performance. This might give a mild rattling noise in the metal body.

When using HAUTECASE, do not hold it by its lids (Both types); always hold it by the body.

No, when you first receive the product, wash the components thoroughly with warm water and mild dishwashing liquid before usage.

The thermal performance* of vacuum insulated HAUTECASE with a capacity of 1.1 litre & 1.5 litre is given below in the form of graphs. The graphs show the heat retention performance (6 hrs.) for your reference.

Hautecase

* The performance is tested under standard laboratory conditions with Stack lids.

HAUTECASE can be handled by kids under the supervision of adults. Since the content is hot and the weight of the product with food contents are generally heavy, it is better adults handle it rather kids. Dropping the product may cause injury for kids.

Unlike other product these lids don’t require any level of pressing. For Stack Lid, gently place it on the top of the metal body, which seals the inside content because of the ring provided on the bottom of the lid. For Glass Lid, the silicone by itself act as a sealant when placed on the top.

Hautecase - lid

The HAUTECASE is not designed to be heated. Doing so will cause permanent damage to the product. Do not heat it on a stove or in a wok or cooking vessel.

After cleaning the HAUTECASE, store it in the open in a cool and dry place to prevent formation of bacteria, mold and other unpleasant odors.

Yes, they can be stacked one on another when used with the Stack Lids and in case of glass lids they do not have the flexibility of stacking.

Generally, SS304 doesn’t stick to magnets. But during the processing of the metal and due to some changes in the microstructure, the steel body might have developed some magnetic property which may have very less force of attraction on magnets.

Glass lids give the user to see through the food inside the casserole, though there will be some thermal performance lost due to the property of the material. Also, these lids are made tempered glass and shatter proof, which will not get shattered like glass when subjected to multiple drops (Tested in lab). But user need to have the feel that it is glass.

The Glass lids are made of Borosilicate Material, having very low coefficient of thermal expansion, more resistant to thermal shock and tempered (hard to break). It is exceptionally durable and is perfectly safe to use in kitchen applications.

While Borosilicate is far more durable and resistant to thermal shock than other types of glass, it is glass, so breakage is still a possibility. Borosilicate glass is hypoallergenic, lead-free and unlike a plastic straw, it is BPA-free.

No, not all glass is food safe. The two most common types of glass used in consumer kitchenware are soda-lime silicate glass and Borosilicate glass. 

Just like regular glass, Borosilicate glass is completely non-toxic.

Tyffyn was designed to keep your food hot or cold, depending on your needs. It was not designed to carry both hot and cold food at the same time.

Tyffyn is especially well suited for moist, dense, hot food. Ideal for all curries, dhal, rice, roti, idli/dosa, biriyani, kebabs, tikkas, rasam rice, chowders, mashed potatoes, lasagna, gnocchi, baked pasta, minestrone, moule, tofu, rice, ratatouille, cream of vegetables, dumplings etc. 

Tyffyn is also very suitable for cold food, such as salads, tofu, yogurt, ice cream, fruit, cheese, cold noodles, gazpacho, potato salad, rice salad, cole slaw, deviled eggs, jello, sushi etc.

Cooling down the inner containers before placing food into them (especially ice cream) would help keeping your food cold longer. There is no need to cool down your Tyffyn’s outer shell. Placing it in the freezer could actually tamper with the vacuum insulated seal and damage your Tyffyn.

Neither the Tyffyn outer shell, nor the inner containers are designed for use in a microwave oven. Placing them in a microwave oven could seriously damage both of them and the appliance.

Vaya tyffyn and inner containers are not designed for food preparation or cooking. Placing any of them in direct contact with fire or a heating element will result in permanent damage. For e.g., in steamers, cookers & woks.

Your Tyffyn’s vacuum insulated shell is equally efficient in keeping your food cold, as it is in keeping it hot. When food is stored with a starting temperature between 4 to 7 C straight from the fridge will typically be at the following when placed at room temperature of 21 C:

After 4 hrs – 10 to 12 C

After 6 hrs – 12 to 14 C

We recommend hand-cleaning your Tyffyn with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Never soak the base and outer shell, nor place them under running water, these parts are not dishwasher-safe. The inner containers are instead dishwasher safe (up to 60C), or can also be washed by hand. Never scrub your Tyffyn or inner containers. Never use a solvent, or a cleaner containing chlorine, or water with heavy mineral content as this may ruin the finish of your Tyffyn.

Watch unboxing video here:

After cleaning your Tyffyn (see earlier FAQ), store it open in a dry cool place. Also keep the lids off the inner containers to prevent the formation of bacteria, mold or unpleasant odors.

Condensation may form inside the inner shell due to the cooling of steam produced by the hot food. While removing the shell, be careful that condensation doesn’t accidentally drip on clothes or furniture. While you enjoy your meal, placing the shell upside down will prevent dripping while providing a safe, clean place to keep the lids of your inner containers.

Whenever there is a drop in pressure in the container during usage, the relief valve opens allowing some air from the environment to enter the container through the top plug. This equalises the pressure and prevents the preserve from locking up.

The entire process is automatic. You can just open the preserve and enjoy your packed meal.

preserve

Without the top plug and relief valve, the contents of the preserve will leak. The thermal performance will also be significantly affected. Always use the preserve with all the given gaskets, top plug, and relief valve for betterment of the content inside.

During such cases it is advised to remove the plug along with the relief valve from the lid, separate the parts each other, clean it completely and then refix the same in its respective positions. The reason being that keeping unnoticed after spillage, may leads to settlement of content inside, later erupt foul smell thereafter.

It could be more severe when using sensitive foods like dairy & poultry products.
