Chefs Name the Food Storage Containers Worth Buying

11h

Summary

Chefs and food editors were asked which food storage containers are worth buying for home kitchens.
Jennifer Aaronson, global culinary director of Marley Spoon, recommends the classic quart, pint, and half-pint deli containers used in professional kitchens, and now uses glass containers for most home cooking.
A 70-piece set of BPA-free clear plastic deli containers costs $35 at Amazon; an 18-piece Rubbermaid Brilliance glass set costs $80.
Pastry chef Molly Wilkinson recommends reusing Bonne Maman jam jars and IKEA glass containers, which come in sets of three for just under $15 at IKEA.
Other picks include a $37 four-pack of glass containers with bamboo lids, a $50 12-pack of Snapware glass containers, $35 Pyrex mixing bowls, and a $31 10-pack of nesting glass containers.
Wilkinson also recommends dissolvable food labels, sold as a $10 roll at Amazon, so leftovers are never a guessing game.

Aaronson says glass containers with airtight lids are durable, easy to clean, and keep leftovers and ingredients fresh.
Aaronson says she is loyal to the type of container rather than the brand, and that deli containers are the go-to in restaurant kitchens because they are stackable and versatile.
Wilkinson says she loves reusing Bonne Maman jars for freezing egg whites, lemon curd, caramel, berries, and cherry tomatoes.
Wilkinson says IKEA glass containers work great for storing leftovers and reheating because they can even go in the oven.
Customers quoted in the roundup praise the Rubbermaid Brilliance, Snapware, Pyrex, IKEA, and bamboo-lid containers for quality, leak-proof seals, and stacking.
A customer called Domestic Engineer says she finds all kinds of uses for the deli cups, including making mini cheesecakes and packing snacks for events.
