These Innovative Tupperware Storage Containers Will Keep Potatoes, Onions, and Garlic Fresh Longer and Save You So Much Money in the Long Run
Food storage containers are often the unsung heroes of the kitchen. We might not rank them as highly as we would our favorite fry pan on our list of kitchen essentials, but they can make a world of difference in your daily life — good or bad, depending on the kind you own. The bad kind can make your food spoil in the blink of an eye, while the ideal one will keep your ingredients or leftovers fresh for longer, so investing in a quality option is definitely in your best interest.
We’ve tried a range of food storage solutions over the years, and while we’re always on the lookout for new ones, sometimes, you can’t beat the classics. And, nothing gets more classic than Tupperware. The household name has nearly become synonymous with all food containers out there, but the brand offers a particular level of durability that has earned it its fame. Along with the tried-and-true items, though, Tupperware is always coming out with innovative products that you’ll never know how you went without. Enter: Their Smart Container collection.
What is the Smart Containers Collection?
Trust us, your kitchen needs this upgrade. Tupperware’s Smart Containers are as ingenious as their name suggests: Each piece is built with a vented top, providing optimal air circulation for your onions, garlic, or potatoes. It also controls light and humidity levels, so that they’ll stay dry and fresh for longer, which saves you money and trips to the store. The onion and garlic holder stores up to five pounds, while the potato one holds up to 11 pounds. Each has a convenient lid on the front for easy access, so when you bring them out of the pantry, you can effortlessly grab what you need while cooking.
Though there are no reviews on Tupperware’s website, the onion and garlic container has dozens of five-star ratings on Amazon. “I am so impressed with this onion bin and the potato bin,” one shopper wrote. They are expensive, but both work so well and preserve food longer, that it is worth every penny to spend on these! Easy to clean, easy to access and not huge to store where you want it to go!”
Tupperware’s high-quality plastic can last for a lifetime when treated right — you can take it from the brand’s former Product and Culinary Expert Chiara DeLeonibus — so really, splurging a bit now will seem like nothing in the long run. And, given that it’ll make your food last longer, snagging one or both of the Smart Containers is really a no-brainer. Run, don’t walk!
