What to Consider When Shopping for Food Storage Containers

Material

Glass or plastic? It depends on your preference and how they’ll be used. Though they can cost more, glass storage containers are durable and long-lasting; some are also oven-safe, making for easy cooking and reheating. Plastic containers, on the other hand, are lightweight and shatter-resistant (so great for traveling) and more affordable overall.

Size and Shape

It’s typically helpful to have several sizes and shapes in your storage container arsenal since the one you use to freeze soup may not work for a package of dried spaghetti. Small containers are great for saving leftovers while larger ones are necessary if you do a lot of big-batch meal prepping. For pantry ingredients, it’s important to check that the container can hold the volume or weight you tend to buy.

Take Along

Take Along are the best of both worlds: lightweight enough to bring on your office commute or to potlucks and picnics, yet durable enough to hold up to the dishwasher, freezer, and microwave. The lids seal securely so you won’t have to worry about spills and leaks inside lunch totes and school bags. They also have ridges for easy stacking in cabinets and refrigerators, ideal for anyone looking to make the most of limited storage space.
