Lock and Lock Food Storage Containers
Comments (20)Yes, because it's so good at locking in moisture. I always give my washed lettuce a spin in the salad spinner before it goes into the L&L, and air dry other things. FYI, I cut yellow, red and orange peppers almost a week ago into small pieces for stir frying which I did this evening. They were still perfectly fresh. I love that stuff! Also, I like the pieces I bought from QVC; I've also acquired the egg cartons from Heritage Mint, and bought some glasslock at Bed Bed & Beyond. (Our Oriental Market also has glasslock so I could get it there.) I use the glasslock for reheating some foods, minus the lid, and will put that into lunch boxes so they can go into the microwave....See MoreNeed one size container and lids for food storage
Comments (1)Research the new type of silicon tops. Very versatile and you can use on a variety of vessel sizes. They are for refrigeration. I don't know about freezing options....See MoreOT: Food Storage Containers : Moldy Gaskets
Comments (22)Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't really see the difference between glass and plastic containers because the lids are all plastic anyway, including the lids of my glass containers. wintercat: I have always wanted some glass containers, but they are so expensive that I have never gotten any. I believe the difference is only that the container is glass and reheating something in it will not extract plastic residue since it is glass and presumably the lid is removed. I already had a couple of those old Corning Ware mini pans (and just found three more) to use for reheating small portions. Originally I had some plastic lids for them, but they were already long gone. Perhaps some will fall into my hands some day. Until then, I just use Saran Wrap or aluminum foil for storage. "The gaskets are of a hollow core and the OD of them are very them" What does this mean? olychick: my initial assumption (still held) is that a1an is a touch typist and meant to type 'very thin' and made a duel typo into 'very them'. Admittedly, I didn't originally see that it was an 'm' rather than the 'n' that I imagined was there, but I have often found myself typing a character from the same finger but wrong hand, and have done the 'm/n' thing as well....See MoreDo you think OXO POP Containers are "Safe" for food storage?
Comments (11)Over the last couple of years I have begun to eliminate plastic storage of any kind from my kitchen. As things wore out or went missing, I turned to using my canning jars for storing things. As things evolved, I now use them for almost everything. They are great to store excess and to store leftovers. You can see everything in them, things stay very cold and the jars wash up with no residue left in them. I love them! My mom did this in the last years of her life. She had canned food out of her garden for decades and she had plenty of jars. As she got older, she had plenty of empty jars. The only problem is that now I am canning summer vegetables and my available supply is getting compromised. I have the little 1/2 pint size, to the quart size. You can even get them in larger sizes. Of course, there are some things such as left over pizza and ears of corn that need a differently shaped container. I keep a few things around for that, but mostly canning jars are what I use. I have also found that some cookware, such as covered casseroles, are great for food storage. You don't have to use them just to bake in. I will never buy any plastic storage things ever again. And, I will never replace any of them with new plastic ones. I even freeze in the glass sometimes. Although, it must be done with care with allowing room to expand and taking care when defrosting. As long as you know what you are doing, it works fine. I have a vacuum sealer that has an attachment to vacuum seal jars. That works very well for things that are time sensitive. I can also put a couple of fresh rolls or biscuits in the jars and seal them and they will keep fresh for longer. With the vacuum sealer, you can reuse the lids over and over, unlike with canning. As an added bonus I have rediscovered the joy of a "jelly jar" of iced tea in the summer. When I was growing up, that was what we used. These jars are so wonderfully versatile!...See MoreRelated Professionals
