    What are the advantages of storage containers?

    Storage containers are designed to preserve your food and ingredients for longer. This is because airtight containers ensure longer freshness and protect the contents from moisture, insects and dust. What's more, the containers and fresh food boxes allow you to organise your supplies clearly. As the storage containers also free up space, you can utilise your kitchen cabinets more efficiently. Compared to disposable packaging such as aluminium foil or plastic bags, the boxes are more environmentally friendly as you save a lot of waste.

    What different storage containers and freshness boxes does IKEA offer?

    IKEA storage containers and fresh food boxes are available in several sizes. You can use them to store a variety of foods, from sliced cheese to potato salad. The IKEA 365+ storage containers with lids, for example, are perfect for taking your lunch to work. They are made of heat-resistant glass or recycled plastic and are perfect for microwaves and dishwashers. At IKEA you will of course also find various glass and plastic containers, bread containers and tins for coffee and tea. The preserving jars in the KORKEN range are great for your homemade jam, dips and pickled vegetables.

    How do I organise my food with storage containers?

    We have a few tips for small-scale storage and organising your food cupboards: choose fresh food boxes and storage containers that are easy to stack. A wine rack or bottle boards for your kitchen shelves will help you to store drinks in a space-saving way. Use our IKEA 365+ stickers to clearly label your cans so that you can find everything quickly.

    What material is recommended for storage containers?

    Storage containers are usually made of transparent glass or plastic. This allows you to see what's inside them straight away. Some lids are made from bamboo, a sustainable natural product. Metal tea caddies are odourless and ensure that the flavours are preserved. Each material has its own advantages: glass containers can be heated and cleaned in the dishwasher. Plastic containers are a cheaper alternative and are also suitable for the dishwasher. Always take a look at our care tips as a precaution: Some lids and containers are better washed by hand.
