Can warped Tupperware lids be fixed?
One of my favorite Tupperware canister lids warped even in the top rack of the dishwasher. I'm wondering if it can be "reheated" such as in the sun with a heavy weight on it. Do any of you have a success story to share? Many thanks!

I've never been able to get anything to work.

tupperware is guaranteed forever... contact a tupperware dealer for a replacement. my 3rd generation shapes ball broke it's string so i threw it away. at my next T party, the dealer said i should have contacted her for a replacement

Since they might not be good anymore, why not put the lid in the microwave with a little water so that it will soften, and then put the lid back on the container while it is still warm. Don't put the container in, since it is ok. Wait until the lid has cooled and see if it remolded. Or you could put it in a sink of really hot water for a while, until it softens. Since hot water or steam warped it in the first place, maybe the same will reform it if it is put back on the canister while it is soft. Duct tape it to the container to hold it in place?

gramajo, I did as you said and the canister with warped lid is now cooling with a heavy cast iron Dutch oven and lid atop. Will leave overnight. May have to do one more time, but fingers crossed. Thx so much!

I contacted Tupperware to get a "free" cracked lid replaced. You need the number of the container and the lid so they can match it up. I did get 2 replacement lids but they are not the same color as the container because they discontinued some colors. The lid is "free" but the shipping and handling are not. It cost me a lot to get my "free" lids.
