What do you use for freezing food if not plastic containers? Heating and microwaving, okay, I can work around the plastic containers/plates, but the freezer I have no idea how I'd do that. Especially that the freezer's casing is still plastic
- seszett 2y agoGlass containers work fine and come in the same shapes as plastic containers do. They are heavier and take a little more space due to being thicker, but it's a small difference. They do have plastic lids most often, but the lid doesn't have to touch food.
- jorvi 2y agoYup, the IKEA one’s are more than good enough. And they’re borosilicate so you can even use them in the oven. The plastic issue is also why I think people doing sous-vide are insane. You’re vacuum sealing meat into plastic and then giving it a nice long leeching in hot water. Sometimes with acidic foodstuffs!
- pyr0hu 2y agoCheers, thanks for the info! So as long as the plastic does not touch the food, I'm basically good to go?
