A clutter hack for your plastic containers
August 24, 2007
I found a kitchen clutter hack in Real Simple magazine that works so well I said goodbye to my collection of miscellaneous plastic and Tupperware containers.
They quoted Debra Ponzek author of The Family Kitchen cookbook. She suggested buying a dozen identical 16-ounce plastic containers for leftovers. That way you won’t run out and you won’t be searching for lids.
[LG]These are microwave & freezer safe.[/LG] I tried her plan and liked it. Everything nests so easily. I upped the container size to a set of 25 oz. Gladware containers. (Now that I’m the mom, I like leftovers.)
She is right about the lids. Here’s another product that has a lid that fits all sizes of the containers and there’s a caddy to park all of these containers in one place.
