It is important to check they’re safe to use, though, by making sure they are BPA-free ( Bisphenol A-free), and they’re made with grade 2, grade 4, and grade 5 plastic. BPA is a chemical used to treat plastics to avoid plastic cases affecting the food you store in them; this tag check is a must.
Polypropylene containers are a good choice for plastic containers as they are considered one of the safest plastic to use. It is still recommended to assure a BPA-free tag for the container you select.
One of the major advantages of glass containers is they have extended life and are odor and stain-resistant. They are ideal for storing wet food like gravy items and dry foods as well. If you're looking to store and serve food on the table, glass containers are the ideal choice.
However, glass containers need to be handled with care, and therefore, are not recommended for homes with little kids. The lids of these containers can be made of plastic and glass, although in either case, you must check if the lid fits as the container would be of no use otherwise.
Steel containers are not see-through, so you would always have to open the container and check what has been stored. Furthermore, they cannot be used in microwaves, and they get scratches easily if they’re not cleaned with care.
The material also needs to be considered depending on the size. A 1000ml steel or plastic container is much better than a 1000ml glass container as glass containers are heavier and difficult to store in high places. On the other hand, plastic and steel ones wouldn’t have this issue and are therefore recommended for dry storage.
As for the material, glass containers are much better for this type of storage, as they do not stain easily and are also see-through. They’re also better than steel and plastic containers as they are microwave safe as well, so you can easily warm the leftovers.
Many containers come in a set of 3 or 6 or even 12 and higher. This container set is a much better deal to store different items monetary-wise and volume-wise; the containers can be easily stacked due to their identical design and a lot space-friendly.
The set is available in different shapes and different material types - Glass, stainless steel, and plastic as well. For people looking to store various items and are space-constrained, these are a much ideal option.
Certain materials like glass and plastic containers are safe to use for microwave heating. The product specification specifically mentions microwave safe. Ensure the product is safe to use for preheating if you're a regular user of the microwave.
Stainless steel is not a good choice for heating in the microwave; the steel will block the heat and damage your microwave. Any metal item is not suitable for the microwave oven.
If you're looking to store items that require moisture to be kept out strictly, or you're looking to serve food at the table after an hour or two. Air-tight and leak-proof containers shall ensure the food you made doesn't go stale easily and doesn't spill either while handling wet food items like rajma, paneer, and more or when storing dry items like condiments on the shelf.
Many products come with air-tight lids and a special coating on the lid edge to seal the container absolutely. Some glass and plastic containers confer to both or either one of them. Complete stainless steel containers are not airtight. Check the product specification for the mention of the air-tight and leak-proof property.
