Food Storage Containers
Keep leftovers, lunches and dry goods fresh with food storage containers in a range of shapes and sizes. This collection includes clear food containers with lids, round food storage containers, Locknlock containers, microwave storage tubs and Wham storage sets, plus Beaufort, Plasticforte and Thumbs Up options.
Round food containers suit soups and sauces, while rectangular styles stack neatly in the fridge and make good use of shelf space. A set of 250ml tubs is handy for portions and snacks, and larger 4.5L containers are better for bulk items such as pasta and flour. If you reheat food, pick microwave storage that is marked as suitable, and use a vented lid. Locknlock containers have clip-down lids that make them popular for lunch boxes.
Check how you will use them: some are for the freezer, some for the dishwasher, and not all lids are airtight. Look at the capacity listed on the product, and pick a set with different sizes if you cook in batches. Label and date the contents, and cool hot food before sealing.
