DISPOSABLE FOOD CONTAINERS AND HOW TO USE THEM

Nowadays the vast majority of people buy takeaway lunch. But it’s necessary to choose a good quality of disposable food containers to guarantee an appropriate food storage
We love and hate them at the same time! These containers are handy, re-usable and they occasionally drive us crazy.
You can surely relate to the following problems:
- You have way too many containers and lids, they are stashed in every cabinet and drawer, and they occasionally fall out in a heap. And yet…
- When you need a container, it’s difficult to find matching containers and lids.
- When you use your containers in the fridge, it’s difficult to tell the difference between leftovers in a butter tub and actual butter in a butter tub.
- You worry because you have heard that re-purposing or reheating food in plastic containers can leach chemicals into your foods.
- Your soup or leftovers have leaked in your lunch bag.
Here’s how to fix these problems:
- Pull out all the plastic containers in your kitchen and pair up the bottoms and lids. Recycle or re-purpose the solo ones, do this each couple of months.
- Dedicate one cabinet or one drawer as a home for your containers, and only store them there.
- Buy clear (or mostly clear) containers, so you can easily identify their content
- Choose a few sizes of containers, and stick with just those. (You can find different shapes and sizes of containers on our store
- Buy containers that stack, both while in use and when not in use. Most brands offer snap-together lids.
- Keep just a pile or two. If you find that you never get to the second or third pile of containers, then you probably don’t need the second or third pile of containers.
- If you have too many containers right now, spread the love. Re-purpose them as drawer dividers, send home leftovers with friends, donate them to a class room for craft time, recycle them
- Don’t fall into the “it was free; I guess I’ll keep it” trap. Deli containers, sherbet bowls, butter tubs or cottage cheese containers (and related items) are not made to last. Recycle them!
- Free up some cabinet space and decrease some stress by paring down your container collection!
