I took a look at my brand-name plastic containers in the cabinet the other day and was disgusted to see how stained they looked. I try to keep a separate container or two set aside for storing tomato sauce and other staining foods, but sometimes I grab the wrong container anyway. So quite a few are looking a little tired even though this latest set is barely a year old. I bought them in a bit of a hurry without thinking, since I really didn’t want to add more plastic containers to my supply. What I really want to do is switch over to using more glass, like this excellent 12 piece glass food storage set.
There are many good reasons for using glass storage containers instead of plastic. For one, they don’t stain! But even more importantly you can heat foods in them without worrying about the plastic leaking into your foods. This Glasslock set have covers that seal on air tight and liquid tight, so your food will keep fresher longer. The great thing about using glass is how easy it is to clean the containers – just pop them in the dishwasher when you’re through and they come out looking good as new.
