A simple but very innovative Scoop Storage System is provided in the TEECY™ Formula Containers for storing the measuring scoop securely within the airtight stainless-steel container and yet keeping it permanently out of contact with the formula powder stored in it, to permanently eliminate powder contamination from:-
The unique Scoop Storage System in the Teecy™ Airtight Formula Container can accommodate scoops of different shapes and sizes. Scoops provided by manufacturers of the infant formula will vary in shape and size.
Any brand of Infant Formula can be used with the TEECY™ Stainless-Steel Formula Container, as there is no storage restriction on the size and shape of the scoops which its versatile Scoop Storage System can accommodate.

The Teecy™ BPA-Free Formula Containers have a Scoop Levelling Facility in the form of a levelling edge incorporated in the Scoop Storage System. It allows scoopfuls of powder to be levelled swiftly, accurately and effortlessly, with just one hand, in a single scooping cum levelling motion. It eliminates the need to use external scoop-levelling utensils altogether. See product features No: 5 below for the beneficial features of this Scoop-Levelling Facility.
Using an external scoop-levelling utensil in feed preparation has its inherent practical and contamination problems. It entails a time-consuming juggling process. The powder-coated scoop is first picked from within the can to take a scoopful of powder. The levelling utensil is held with the other hand to level the scoopful and it is then left on the table to free the hand to hold the feeding bottle for the levelled scoopful, held in the other hand, to be transferred into it. The bottle is then returned onto the table in order to pick up the levelling utensil for levelling the next scoopful.

The Scoop Levelling Facility allows a scoopful to be levelled swiftly, accurately and effortlessly with just one hand, in a single scooping cum levelling motion without the need for a levelling utensil and the scoopful is immediately transferred into the feeding bottle. The juggling process is eliminated altogether, thereby reducing the time needed to prepare a feed very significantly. Feeds can now be prepared in a jiffy, in only a fraction of the time normally taken with the use of an external scoop-levelling utensil.
Also, powder coated on the levelling-utensil will drop onto the preparation table when it is left thereon during and after feed preparation. The spillage will attract vermin (cockroaches, lizards and ants) to contaminate the table, the utensil left thereon and consequently subsequent feeds prepared with it, especially at night.
End-portions are difficult to scoop due to the structure of a normal can and are usually thrown away with the can.
An internal "Base-Drain" is incorporated in the TEECY™ Formula Containers and it is designed to fit the curvature of scoops. Together with its appropriately-wide opening, end-portions can now be easily scooped, saving powder wastage and saving money as well. Infant Formula is not cheap.
The lock of the TEECY™ Formula Containers are custom-designed to allow locking and unlocking with just one hand. On unlocking, the cover will automatically tilt open slightly to facilitate full opening with one hand. This will facilitate the preparation of formula feeds with just one hand, combined with the one-hand Scoop Levelling Facility which has been designed for this function as well.
This innovative TEECY™ BPA-Free Formula Containers are air-tight. They protect the quality of formula powder. Powder kept in non-airtight containers will get damp.
