Airtight food containers

What are airtight food containers?

Most people will have some airtight food containers or Tupperware somewhere in their kitchen. These handy lockable containers keep food fresh. You can use containers to organise your pantry so that the dry goods and ingredients you use most often are easy to find and stay fresh for longer. They’re also helpful if you want to batch cook stew, casserole, curry, soup, or other healthy dishes to store in the fridge or the freezer to give you easy access to healthy food every day of the week. The containers come in a range of sizes and are stackable. If you have low vision, these containers mean you can more easily see what is inside. Most containers are easily opened or sealed one-handed.
