In the world of food storage, the debate between glass and plastic containers is ongoing. While plastic has long been the standard for many households, glass containers are quickly becoming the preferred choice for meal prep and storage. Let's delve into why we think glass containers are superior and answer some frequently asked questions about their benefits.
Is it better to meal prep in plastic or glass containers?
When it comes to meal prepping, glass containers are the clear winner. Here’s why:
- Toxic Chemical Free: Glass containers are free from harmful chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and microplastics that are commonly found in plastic. This ensures that your food remains safe and uncontaminated.
- Durability and Versatility: Glass containers are incredibly versatile. They can be used for prepping, cooking, reheating, baking, roasting, serving, and storing leftovers. They’re your all-in-one solution for meal prep.
Are glass containers oven safe?
Absolutely! One of the standout features of our glass containers is their oven safety. They can withstand high temperatures, making them perfect for baking and roasting. Just transfer your meal directly from the fridge to the oven without worrying about the container cracking or melting.
Which is more harmful: glass or plastic?
Plastic is far more harmful than glass to the environment and to your health. Plastic containers can leach toxic chemicals into your food, especially when heated. These chemicals can disrupt hormones and pose serious health risks. Glass, on the other hand, is non-toxic and does not react with food, making it a safer choice for you and your family.
Are glass containers microwave safe?
Yes, our glass containers are microwave safe. Our range of glass food storage containers come with a clever air vent in the lid, allowing you to reheat your food safely without the need for plastic wrap. This feature ensures your food heats evenly while retaining moisture.
Do glass containers keep food fresh longer?
Glass containers are excellent at keeping food fresh for longer periods. The airtight seals on on our containers lock in freshness, preventing air and moisture from getting in. This keeps your food tasting delicious and maintains its nutritional value.
Is there a problem with plastic Tupperware?
Plastic Tupperware poses several problems:
- Chemical Leaching: When heated, plastic can leach harmful chemicals into your food.
- Staining and Odours: Plastic containers tend to stain and retain odours, which can affect the taste and smell of your food.
