Mepal Cirqula Vershouddoos Set
A set of airtight, leakproof food storage boxes from Mepal in increasing sizes - lovely Dutch design that's freezer- and microwave-safe.
The Cirqula set combines three things you rarely find together: they're airtight and leakproof (the juices stay in), they're fridge-, freezer- and microwave-safe, and they nest neatly thanks to the round-in-square shape. In the soft Nordic tones they also simply look good on the table. A practical, stylish kitchen gift around 40 euro.
Reasons to buy

- Suitable for fridge, freezer and microwave (lid off in the microwave)
- Increasing sizes (500/1000/2000 ml) that nest and save space
- Lovely Nordic design that doubles as a serving bowl on the table
Watch-outs
- Premium price for storage boxes; purely functional can be cheaper
- The lids fit Mepal sizes - buy replacements from the same brand
- Not meant to go in the microwave with the lid on
Why leakproof makes the difference
Many storage boxes close 'more or less' but leak the moment you tilt them in a bag. The Cirqula seals with a rim that holds back both air and moisture, so you can confidently take soup or yoghurt to work. The round interior makes cleaning easy and the shape stacks compactly in the cupboard.
Versatile in the kitchen
Storing leftovers, meal prep, freezing and reheating: all possible with the same set. The sizes cover a small portion to a family bowl. And because the design is clean, you don't need to transfer food to put it on the table nicely.
Frequently asked questions
Are they freezer- and microwave-safe?
Yes. They're suitable for fridge and freezer, and the box can go in the microwave - just take the lid off so steam can escape.
Are they really leakproof?
Yes, that's the hallmark of the Cirqula line: the lids seal airtight and leakproof, so liquid dishes travel safely too.
