Food Storage Tips for Keeping Food Fresh for Long

by Tupperware On THe Go Tupperware Products Choosing your food storage containers smartly is important whether you are storing the leftover food in the refrigerator or packing lunch for work. How you store the food will determine how long the food will remain fresh. A good container should not allow air in once it is closed so that the food does not dry out, absorb odours or gets soggy. Tupperware containers are most often recommended for storing food items in the refrigerator as they are lightweight, airtight and available in different shapes and sizes.

Here are few tips that will help you store food in the refrigerator for prolonged freshness and a great taste even after days:

Storing leftovers: Store the food in refrigerator as soon as you are done with the meal. Make sure that if you are reheating the food then store it in the refrigerator within 2 hours. Food that is not stored within 2 hours is not fresh any longer. You do not need to cool down the heated food before placing them in the refrigerator. All you can do is label the containers with its contents and date of storage.

Choose the right container: Choose airtight and leak proof containers to store the food. Tupperware Freezer containers are ideal for long term storage. Some containers are come with self-venting lids that makes reheating the food easier. Foods that contain acidic sauces, especially tomato based sauces, should be stored in glass containers to prevent staining.

Storing food in refrigerator: Temperature fluctuations happen mostly on the refrigerator door. Store the food products on the shelves, if you want them to stay fresh for long. Remember not to cramp the shelves as for food to stay fresh air should circulate freely around the contents. Vegetables and fruits should be stored separately in separate drawers. For storing liquid products like sauces and soups in the refrigerator make sure that you fill the container only three quarters and not up to the brim. This ensures that there is enough space for expansion when the food freezes.

On the go: Use reusable containers to pack lunch rather than disposable containers. Tupperware’s On the Go range is ideal for all those who are always on the go.  Right from lunch boxes, serving cups to salad On the Go, Tupperware has everything to serve your myriad needs.
