I was thinking about buying a few more food storage containers and somehow ended up ordering a cutlery set instead.
I wanna get glass or stainless for meal prep storage but haven't found anything I like. Ikea has glass but it reviewed badly on Oz bargain.
Glass more practical if you plan to microwave straight in the container. Stainless is lighter and wonβt break if you drop it. Dilemmas!
Mostly looking to reduce the plastic touching food pathway. I currently microwave in a bowl with a plate on it. But my tubs are showing some wear.
Kmart has a range of glass containers that I quite like. The lids are weird with a little pop up button and you CAN'T open the container until you pop up the button. Found that out the hard way.
These ones? https://www.kmart.com.au/product/500ml-square-ribbed-glass-container-43507399/
Yes. Mine are not square but rectangular and have green not blue silicone, and plain glass not ribbed glass walls.
