Care instructions

I'm glad you decided in favour of a birch bark container!

To ensure that you are happy with your birch container for a long time, you can follow the instructions below:

Before use

You can wipe out the birch can with a damp cloth before use. Then leave the container open for approx. 2-3 hours so that the moisture balance can re-establish itself.

Cleaning

Clean your Storage tin or the Bread box simply with a damp cloth.
Shake out loose breadcrumbs regularly.

If microorganisms have formed after a long storage period despite the antiseptic effect, you can simply rub the birch bark with a little vinegar and then leave it open. Unpleasant bugs or mould spores can be effectively killed by heating the lunch box in your oven to over 50°C for approx. 20 minutes.

If you want to remove stubborn dirt, you can also wash the birch can briefly with water. However, make sure that the water is not too hot and does not remain on the birch can for too long. Most connections are only plugged in and can be loosened by warm water.

Birch bark care

As the bark is a natural material, the colour tones vary. This is completely normal and is reminiscent of the living taiga. Birch bark darkens slightly over time.
We strongly advise you not to oil your birch bark tin with sunflower oil, for example. The oil that coats the surface of the birch bark can become rancid and lead to food spoilage. The essential oils naturally contained in birch bark grease your lunch box in a natural way.

Especially for Bread boxes

Store bread

Birch bark is particularly suitable for storing bread and rolls that have been baked without preservatives or similar additives. On warm summer days, unfavourable room climates can occasionally cause bread to become particularly sweaty. In such cases, we recommend that you do not close the lid tightly, but simply leave it ajar or put it on to ensure more air circulation. It is particularly important for the baked goods to benefit from the air circulation without drying out. As bread often rests in large areas on the bottom of the tin, it starts to sweat. We therefore recommend using a small Wooden lattice underneath.
