Amazon Shoppers Say These Snap-Together Nesting Food Containers Are the Key to an Organized Kitchen

"No more opening the cabinet door and being attacked by flying lids that just pile up in a corner next to containers that they no longer fit."

While your countertops may be spotless and your pantry closet hyper-organized, the one area of your kitchen that is probably a mess is that drawer where you stash your plastic food containers. No matter how hard you try to organize old takeout containers and food storage of all shapes and sizes, the mismatched containers never seem to fit inside each other, not to mention the lids tend to spill all over the place.

Tidying up this drawer may seem like an impossible task, but the Joseph Joseph 81009 Food Storage Container Set is here to solve that problem. Each set comes with six plastic food containers in various sizes that conveniently nest inside each other—meaning the entire set will take up the space of the largest-sized container.

But what really makes this set special is that its color-coded lids snap into each other, so you’ll never have to deal with stray lids slipping and sliding around your drawer again. The 12-piece set is also BPA-free and freezer- and microwave-safe, and it can even be cleaned in the dishwasher.

With details like that, it’s no wonder that more than 300 Amazon shoppers have given the innovative set of food containers a five-star review. “I don't have a very large kitchen and found the Joseph Joseph storage containers to be perfect,” raved one shopper. “Six containers and lids in one! They don't take up much space at all. I found the lids to snap on easily and keep my food fresh.”

“I never lose any lids and now can keep everything completely together and stored in one large container,” said another. “It is an awesome concept with lids and containers that are color-coded and fit nicely into my small cabinet space. No more opening the cabinet door and being attacked by flying lids that just pile up in a corner next to containers that they no longer fit.”

A set of food containers that is durable, easy to clean, and doesn’t take up a lot of space? That’s an unheard-of trifecta. And did we mention how affordable it is? For just $28 a set, you might want to find uses for them outside of the kitchen.
