Re: Purging plastic food containers

If anybody has an intact seal for the large bowl HSM948, I'd love to purchase it from you.  Just the regular flat one - no handle.

 

I (my fault) broke this seal and I'm just heartbroken over it, as these bowls are some of my favs, used for many things.

 

It's a large, round, bowl that originally came as a 'salad set' years ago on qvc, along with 4 (I think 4) smaller bowls.

I got 4 new sets of plastic nesting containers. So I decided to clean out the Lazy Susan cabinet where I keep my Lock n Lock.   So of course i found 3 round tops in perfect condition but no matching bowls. I am having the hardest time getting rid of these tops thinking I'll find the matching bowls.  Does anyone else hate to toss tops or bowls when you can't find the match and always think you will find it later? 


My bowls always go with the cover on, so I never have extra lids. They stack nicely, why separate them? I don't put one inside the other, then have to look for lid.

Re: Purging plastic food containers

My recommendation is to throw out all the plastic stuff and replace it with glass.  

 

However, no one asked me for my recommendation.Woman LOL

Re: Purging plastic food containers

I dont use anything but L&L now and I always wash the tops and bottoms together ...then put the tops back on before storing. I just don't like the other disposable brands as they don't keep anything fresh even for a short time.

Re: Purging plastic food containers

I use a variety of wide-mouth glass jars.  Lids are easy to keep in one place: stored in a hanging three tier basket. 

 

Easy to see foods within each jar, etc.

 

Easy to clean, too.  No color residue.

One of my first projects for 2022 will be replacing all my plastic food storage containers to glass.

Re: Purging plastic food containers

'Funny' that, as I browse jarred food items, I always seem to reach for the wide mouth jars of various foods.

 

I wish that Kraft mayo would return to wide-mouth glass jars. 

 

I had a collection (years ago), but a certain  someone took them.  

 

Oh, well.  Always take the 'high road', right?

When at the grocery store, I too always choose glass jar items over plastic ones.
