Food Storage – How to Preserve Freshness and Nutrients

Glass or plastic – which container to choose

Glass containers from brands like Simax and Leonardo don't absorb odors, don't stain, and can go directly into the oven or microwave. Plastic containers are lighter and more resistant to drops, but quality BPA-free versions are essential for hot foods. For everyday use, a combination of both materials delivers the best results.

Airtight lids and vacuum systems

A quality airtight seal prevents air penetration and extends food shelf life up to three times. Vacuum containers from JosephJoseph further remove oxygen from the interior, which is ideal for fresh meat, cheese, and opened ingredients. Rubber gaskets must be flexible and free from unpleasant odors.

Specialized boxes for specific foods

Bread requires air circulation to prevent steaming – the modern Kutija za hleb Gnam - ASG22 W with ventilation holes allows exactly that. Fruits and vegetables keep best in perforated containers that regulate humidity. For flour and grains, completely airtight containers with a wide opening for easy scooping are necessary.

Organizing the fridge and pantry

Transparent rectangular containers allow inventory visibility and maximize space utilization. Brands like Guzzini and Alessi offer modular systems that stack on top of each other with labeled lids. Containers of different sizes should have the same width to stack properly.

Maintaining and longevity of food containers

Glass containers from Simax and Metalac Posuđe can go in the dishwasher without fear of wear or scratches. Plastic containers require a gentler cycle and air drying to preserve the seals. Replace containers with damaged lids because even a small crack compromises the seal and allows bacterial growth.

For freezing and microwave use

Only containers marked freezer-safe can withstand sub-zero temperatures without cracking or deforming. When microwaving, always remove plastic lids – only glass and special vented plastic lids can safely go in the microwave. Metalac Posuđe and Sigma offer a complete range with clear usage markings.
