When it comes to food, the holiday season is a season for leftovers. Searching for containers, both plastic and glass, in your home to store leftover food or to send leftovers home with your guests can be easier than you think. Following these 5 tips can can be used now and all-year round.
-
Keep only those containers that you use all the time. Discard any that are missing lids or bottoms.
-
Nest plastic containers. Store lids separately from their bottoms as a seal can create a stale smell.
-
Don’t nest glass containers. If nested, they could break. Store them with their lids.
-
Keep smaller tops in a bin that fits in the cabinet/drawer so they don’t get lost.
-
Date and label the contents.
