Kitchen Storage Containers: Benefits of Ditching the Plastic

It doesn’t matter how organised of a person you are, one place where mess simply doesn’t go well is the kitchen. I know you’re probably thinking what of the mess when cooking and it’s not the aspect I had in mind because cooking is supposed to be messy; However, the way you preserve food and ingredients isn’t.

Apart from the clutter you’d leave behind if you don’t properly store them there’s also the much more serious reason as to why you should take care of storage is how easily food gets spoiled and bacteria makes its way into it. Sure, not every ingredient and food are the same however there are some that can be dangerous to your well-being because of the rapid growth of bacteria.

If you want to make the most of storage and reap various benefits at that choose your kitchen storage containers carefully. Instead of opting for plastics choose glass or ceramics since they aren’t harmful to your health as they don’t contain toxins like BPA, phthalates or lead to name some.

This is a choice that wouldn’t only be doing you a favour but the environment too considering they’re more durable and reusable, time and time again, as opposed to the plastics. Even if you use a plastic container more than once the toxins are still there regardless how often you wash it and as in the case with BPA it can easily leach into your foods or drinks.

Trust me when I say glass and ceramic kitchen storage containers are the better option as I have the aesthetic aspect in mind too. They’re available in different sizes, and you can also choose different styles so apart from their practical purpose they can easily serve as decoration as well; Food stored safely and stylishly!

Also, some you can even use with both hot and cold foods and drinks and you won’t have to worry they’d get destroyed if you put them in the microwave or the dishwasher; yes, they’re that practical which can’t be said about the plastic alternative, especially when it comes to heating because of the ease of toxins to move into the food.

Additionally, there’s the chance to use them for plants when you simply can’t find a pot that’s so fashionable and multi-use so you won’t regret investing in these containers. Last but not least unlike plastic they don’t alter the flavour which happens to be one of the aspects I highly appreciate because nothing tastes the same when you preserve and eat it from plastic containers.
