I love my Inka containers! They stack really well and look so beautiful. Before this, I was just re-using old takeout containers, so these are an amazing upgrade! The packaging is beautiful, and I love that they can be microwaved and put in the dishwasher.
I bought a set of 18 containers in the color nori for myself and 6 containers in Manuka to gift to my sister. They arrived yesterday and they are really beautiful, unfortunately many of the containers were almost impossible for me to open. I am not a weak woman but my small hands coupled with longer length nails made some of them nearly impossible to open. They recommend using a knife to open them if having trouble but a knife didn’t help all that much and using a knife long term would just damage the containers. They are certainly the most aesthetically pleasing food storage containers I’ve ever seen (even the packaging they arrived in!) However they will all be returned. If I were to put food in them I would spill it all over myself while trying to get the lid off. The instructions also say not to microwave any oily foods in them for very long. $260+ for 24 difficult to open containers that can’t even be used to properly heat “oily” foods just isn’t for me.

Ease of opening and better consistency in the containers. Some of the exact same containers were much easier to open than others. If the lid design can’t be changed for easier opening then perhaps selling a little tool designed just for prying the lid off would solve the issue.
I bought these around a year and a half ago and honestly the containers are just ok. They're plastic so I don't like to microwave them and that's something I knew but got caught up in the branding. I also think the suction is sooo strong that I've had to use a knife to pop them open a few times! What I do LOVE are the gold chopsticks. In the year that I've had them, they look as new as they did when I opened the box!
I was looking for something that won’t stain, was easy to clean and light compared to glass. Overall Inka delivered. This isn’t your average grocery store Tupperware where’s lids are just lightly in place but if you wait for your food to cool fully before storage the lids aren’t that hard to open. I usually have a size 3 acrylic set on as well and I can still open these.

I don’t know that I would recommend this to anyone with hand mobility issues.
