Top Tips for Glass Food Storage
01
Stack Smartly
Place a cloth or paper towel between stacked glass containers to prevent scratches or chipping.
02
Clean Lids Wisely
Wash plastic lids using a baking soda paste to eliminate stubborn stains and lingering food odours.
03
Dishwasher Safe
Glass containers fit lower or upper racks, but always place plastic lids on the top rack.
04
Freeze with care
Leave extra space at the top so food can expand safely and glass avoids cracking.
05
Space Saving
Stack containers with their lids immediately. You’ll streamline storage, save space, and simplify weekly meal prep.
Use the Air Vent for Steam Release
When reheating in the microwave, open the lid’s air vent. This lets steam escape, prevents splatters, and heats food evenly, without removing the lid. Close the vent again before storing to keep food fresh.
Top Tips for Storing Leftovers
01
Cool & Cover
Let leftovers cool slightly before sealing. This prevents condensation, avoids popped lids and keeps food fresher.
02
The Right Container
Pick the smallest container that fits. Less air slows spoilage and keeps flavors tasting their best.
03
Layer Smartly
Place hearty foods like grains or proteins underneath when reheating. Add delicate greens or garnishes on top to keep texture intact.
04
Mark & Date
Write contents and date using tape or a marker. This helps prevent food waste and confusion later.
05
Single Servings
Divide leftovers into smaller containers. Perfect for quick lunches and prevents reheating more than you need.
Why It Matters?
50% of food waste happens at home. Households throw out large amounts of food that could still be eaten. Earth.org
Wasted food = wasted resources. Every bite tossed wastes water, energy and land. Smarter storage is one of the easiest ways to cut waste. Stopwaste.org
