January 28, 2019 By BFSC Leave a Comment

 

In an effort to keep their homes and the environment safe, more and more homes are switching to glass food storage containers.

Read on to discover more of the benefits of glass refrigerator containers.

The Dangers of Plastic Containers

When plastic food storage containers first hit the market, they seemed like the final answer to all of our food storage needs. They were cheaper than glass and disposable. And because they were light, they also traveled better than glass refrigerator storage containers.

But as the world became more aware of the dangers of plastic, the honeymoon is ending. One of the first chemicals we found out about was Bisophenol A, more commonly known as BPA. BPA is trouble because it mimics estrogen once it enters the human body and has been linked to breast cancer cell growth and lowered sperm count.

In 2004, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) conducted a study to gauge the extent of exposure to BPA in the United States. They found BPA in nearly all of the urine samples they took. Unless labeled as BPA free, all polycarbonate plastic (labeled as number 7 recyclable on its base) food storage containers contain BPA.

Any food stored in those containers is likely to leach into your food. The danger of leaching is even higher if those plastic containers are scrubbed vigorously or heated in the microwave at any point. Since those two instances cover most of the ways we use plastic containers in our homes, the risk of exposure is high.

Reasons to Switch to Glass Containers

Glass refrigerator storage containers aren’t just safe; they’re more aesthetically pleasing too. The rectangular and round containers bring to mind a simpler time when glass containers were the norm. There are plenty of vintage glass containers on the market that will make your leftovers look better and make the neighbors ask where you got them.

And glass refrigerator storage containers are even more sturdy than plastic. It can survive the freezer, the oven, the microwave and the dishwasher. Since they’re made from tempered glass, they resist chips, cracks and other dings even when you put them right from the freezer to the microwave. And they’ll do it without accumulating stubborn stains, smells or warps.

The final, most compelling argument is the food. When you switch to glass refrigerator storage containers, you’ll immediately notice how much fresher your food tastes. Part of the reason is that glass keeps your food colder. That not only means better tasting food, but less cooling work for your refrigerator. Once you make the switch, you may even notice your energy bill going down.

Easy Ways to Switch to Glass

Now that you’ve made the decision to switch to glass refrigerator storage containers, the transition doesn’t have to be a painful one. Glass food storage containers have come a long way from their vintage roots. Unlike old-school cracker jars, mason jars or Montana jars, modern glass refrigerator storage containers don’t have rusty metal — which can also be lined with BPA — lids that spark in the microwave. Most come with flexible plastic or silicone lids.

These lids are flexible enough to keep freshness sealed in. And the plastic versions are available BPA and PET free. If you want to minimize the artificial materials in your containers, you can find glass storage containers with glass lids and cardboard lining.

Shop in the right places and you can find glass refrigerator storage containers in all sizes. Use small glass food storage containers for snacks or pick containers large enough to fit last night’s leftover roast. And because glass refrigerator storage containers look as nice as serving dishes, they can go right on the table. That means better dinner presentation and less clean-up afterwards.

For all these reasons and more, the switch to best glass food storage containers is a good one. The right  food storage containers will give you peace of mind that the food you serve your family is safe. And they look so great that you’ll have your friends sign a release before you let them take your glass refrigerator storage containers out of your kitchen.
