Have you ever encountered a situation where food goes bad after being stored for a short time? Or when storing things in the kitchen, things are messy? In fact, choosing a good Food Storage Container can solve many problems. Not only can it keep food fresh for a longer time, but it can also make the kitchen storage more organized.
There are three common Food Storage Containers, which can be divided into plastic, food-grade stainless steel, and high borosilicate glass Food Storage Containers according to the material.
Plastic Food Storage Containers: Made of resin material, this material is not resistant to high temperatures, and the heat resistance temperature is between -20 and 120 degrees, and it cannot be used for microwave heating. However, the price of this material is relatively cheap.
Food-grade stainless steel Food Storage Containers: Commonly used as lunch boxes, this material is easy to clean grease, light-shielding, shading, and good airtightness.
High borosilicate glass Food Storage Containers: High borosilicate glass has good fire resistance and high physical strength. Compared with common glass, it has no toxic side effects. Its mechanical properties, thermal stability, water resistance, alkali resistance, acid resistance and other properties are greatly improved. It is resistant to high temperature and extreme cold, and is suitable for heating in a microwave oven.
So how to choose a suitable Food Storage Container? The first thing to pay attention to is whether the material is healthy and hygienic. If it is plastic, it is best to choose food-grade materials such as PC, PE, PP, and the more common one is PP material. If you choose a glass fresh-keeping box, it is best to choose a high borosilicate material. It is best to choose a transparent one, so that you can identify the condition of the food in the box without opening the box. When choosing, you should also pay attention to diversity. You should choose fresh-keeping boxes of different sizes, so that different ingredients can be placed in different boxes, which is more practical. Sealing is also very important. Food Storage Containers with good sealing will keep food fresh longer.
The details of the lid of the Food Storage Container are also worth talking about. The edge of the lid is very smooth, without the rough feeling, so you won't feel poking when holding it in your hand. Moreover, the snap-on design of the lid and the box must be very tight, so that once the lid is closed, it is not easy to be accidentally opened. This is very important in daily life. For example, if you put this Food Storage Container in the refrigerator, when you take something out of the refrigerator, if the lid is easily opened, the food inside may be contaminated.
In addition, you should choose Food Storage Containers that are easy to clean and maintain. When you are cleaning in the kitchen, if there are some residual food stains, just use a little detergent and simply brush them clean. Some fragile materials such as PP will be worn or leave marks if you rub them with a little force, which will make the box body full of scratches, which is not beautiful and easy to hide dirt. It is best to choose glass or stainless steel. Even high-temperature disinfection will not have any problems. If you want to disinfect it thoroughly, just boil it in boiling water.
For food lovers who like to show their skills in the kitchen, or housewives who want to make their lives more orderly, Food Storage Containers are really a good choice. It can keep your food fresher for longer, make kitchen storage easier, and improve the overall aesthetics and environmental friendliness of the kitchen. Such a treasure is really a must-have for your home kitchen.
