|
|
I was looking for peoples opinions as to what is a good form of food storage containers. Tupperware comes to mind as an example. Before anyone else recommends them, I do not like the Hefty Serve and Store plates. They often times take up far too much room and I would prefer something more permanent. |

I use a lot of Rubbermaid mainly because they seal well and go on sale at Costco. |

I have a bunch of Glad containers and a couple of Milan classic containers. I wouldn't recommend the Glad containers, and the Milan containers have a rather tricky lid.
Eventually, I plan on getting a set of square restaurant type containers like these:

What's nice about them is that their shape allows for maximum usage of fridge space, while being relatively cheap and durable. |

^^^^^I looked at those and it seems you hit the motherload for food storage containers. I had one concern. Everything has to be purchased by the case. |

I really like Lock-n-Lock containers. QVC (<shudder>) seems to be the best source in the US. A little care will get you bunches of containers of various sizes with mostly interchangeable lids. |

We have switched to glass mason jars, various sizes, for food storage. They fit nicely on the shelves, and you can easily see the contents.
We are eliminating plastic as a food storage solution.
We are looking for a good source for four litre glass jars, and need suggestions on possible sources in Ontario, Canada. Perhaps a source in the US will ship to Canada? |

the carlisle squares from your page are what I have:
www.galasource.com/carlisle--kitchen/food-storage-accessories/food-containers/ProdDesc-10740-08-49165.aspx
are really good. Lid is tight. Close packing. Rational lid sizing so you don't have ten to the nineth lids clogging up your kitchen. |

I have been sold on tupperware so much that I am now a consultant.
I have tupperware dated back to early 70's that still looks better and works better than any rubbermaid and ziploc containers. Plus it has a lifetime warranty.. if by some miracle it cracks or breaks you can replace it free. |

Rubbermaid storage containers are reasonably priced and high on quality. They keep my food fresh for days and are easy to clean. I purchased them online and have had no problems with them. The website where I got mine is listed below. You should have no problem with these handy reusable storage containers!
