Tupperware question

7 years ago

Does anyone store Tupperware containers in your pantry? If so how? On a shelf or in a larger container? Lids separate from bowls? We are currently adding a larger pantry and I'm trying to figure out the best way to store my Tupperware in it. Thanks for any advice, pics welcome.

Mine, along with other plastic storage containers, go in a bottom drawer. Whatever Tupperware I have in the pantry actually has food in it.

I have a lot of lids that fit various plastic storage bowls, some Tupperware lids are quite large. Found an old clear Rubbermaid photo media storage bin which fit well on the pantry shelf. So the lids are vertically stacked in there where I can quickly find the one to match whatever bowl is being used. The bowls and square plastic bottoms are stored in both a large pull out cabinet and on a traditional pot shelf.

I am a Tupperware consultant. Tupperware is the best. Tupperware is more expensive than other plastics but it's safer and it lasts! You can use the microwave containers and plastic won't leach into your food. You can keep your fruits & vegi's fresh for up to 2/3 weeks longer, like like broccolli, strawberries, lettuce ect. in Fridgsmart! Our Modular Mate containers keep those little kitchen pests out of your food....once you have one they go from food product to food product unless there in Tupperware; nothing get's out and nothing gets in :o) Have any questions, want to earn free Tupperware, or want to join my team and make money instead?

Well, currently, all my pots are stored in a 30" deep pull out that is only 15" wide (inside measurement) and that is with lids. And my pans are stored in another pull out, same size. Now, the pans are stacked on top of one another and a couple of my pots are nested and stored sideways. But I have not found it at all inconvenient, truthfully. I was actually hoping to use option 1 because I like the set up of the cutlery and silverware better that way, on the top two drawers of two 24"s. Yes, standard is 24" deep. I was using 30 because that is what I currently have, and I never lose anything. The pull outs come all the way out, so I can see the backs. (also, in this plan I will be using drawers with backs, so things actually falling off the back of a pull out won't be an issue) I'm definitely open to more suggestions on this.

When was the last time you bought any Tupperware? Actually, I bought 3 pieces at a church sale yesterday, but only bought it because it was old cannisters and in '60's colors. When was the last time you were at a Party (tupperware,Home Interior,etc.)? I hate those kinds of things, and it has been about 35 years, back before I learned to say "Hell, no!!" What kinda style do you have?? I don't think you could call it style. :) For myself, causual, for my house, vintage stuff...'20s thru '40's. In your opinion, what sport requires the most skill? Have no idea. I'll say dressage because I like horses and hate most sports and it requires lots of training and communication with the horse. What's the coolest last name you have ever heard of? No idea.

We still have a 25 year old Kenmore freezer that works fine, it did need a new gasket after a garage fire, but it's been reliable. My current GE refrigerator does freeze produce in the right side crisper drawer, I've got a couple of dish towels under that drawer and that helps a little. I like the idea of putting produce in the doors, though, since I use produce far more than any of the stuff I stick in the doors anyway! I think the new Tupperware is just too, too cute. Too cute for me, that's for sure. I like the old stuff much better, I'm not into "cutesy" at all, or even particularly decorative usually. I like things very plain and would much rather have empty space than useless "decorative items". I kind of LIKE empty space, actually... Annie

My plastic and glass storage pieces are in a drawer in the kitchen, so they are convenient for putting leftovers into lunch-sized containers. I have a box on one side of the drawer for lids.

In my last kitchen I was able to place them in my 24" drawer beside my oven. In our new house I don't have the space for them in the cabinets so they have to go into the pantry. I know I don't want them on the floor in bins because I hate to bend down and sift through them. I'm thinking stacking the bowls on a shelf and a bin for containing the lids. I'm sure a Target trip will be in my future.

Hmmm. I don't have any spare Tupperware. All used for long term storage and located in the pantry. For short term storage I use the non BPA , etc etc containers from Home Goods. I have more than I need of them but not out of control quantities. Stored in a drawer. I also use lots of baggies.

What little I have left is stacked in a drawer with the more disposable kind that stacks so well and is available at the grocery store. I had a really good clean-out of all my misc stuff that took up FAR too much space!

Agree with Anglophillia - this is a great time to ask yourself if you need all of it. Otherwise, for years to come you will need to spend time straightening it out, rearranging, moving it from place to place... Keep a few pieces, donate the rest and free yourself from future time lost dealing with it.

I got rid if most of mine too, I kept a few of a couple of different sizes. They are (at least for now). In the upper corner cabinet near the stove. I kept few, so stored each one with the kids on. Threw out all lids with no container and all containers with no lid
