“It can involve things like using the same food container for several steps and just changing the lid. There shouldn't be any unnecessary extra work along the way,” says David. Transparent containers increase the chances that the food is consumed. And it must be easy to adapt the containers to serve different needs. “People asked for a coherent system for food storage. Not complicated special gadgets, yet rather simple and straightforward products that can be used often.”

Solid tubPeterGreat quality and strength. Perfect fit and seals well with the associated lid. Now if only they would do it in a solid colour rather than transparent.
365+ large containerMurrayGood product
Best Ever ContainersLorraineThese are now my favorite containers. Over Christmas I was using them constantly for leftovers and storing food. I even use them for serving food when we have a BBQ. I am going to buy more and get rid of the old glass ones.
A staple . . .AnitaThese containers are such a staple ! Handy, used for many things, and looks good. Always gets replenished when these go walkabout.
A staple . . .AnitaInexpensive, sturdy, and useful. Pity Ikea doesn't do the 1.8lt plastic ones anymore (more to keep in line with the sets i already have).
Broke straight away NicolaFirst time in the dishwasher it cracked in two!
Perfect lunch boxAleksandrGreat lunch box, fantastic quality and low price
We need this in more sizesMariaThis is amazing for storing frozen food! We need this in different capacities (3lt) and dimensions (just like the tall glass one and even the flat but wide glass one). Definitely need more of these!

Plain and simpleAlanFairly robust, the lid still latches on and has held its shape. Still looks like new after 6 months of use.
Works well in both oven and microwave. Easy to clean.RosalieHad already purchased the larger size of these so bought these as sometimes larger on is too big. find these very handy. Can put leftovers in these using the lids that can be also purchased
GoodNaziaGood size and easy
Slightly smaller than previous model old lids are uselessSofiaWhy would they slightly change the size of the containers but sell them without lids? It is not sustainable of you Ikea to force a new lid on people. Of course the glass pqrt of the container tends to be less durable than the plastic part. Shame that you dont promote reuse of the plastic lids with your practice.
Excellent ContainersPaulThese are great containers, we've bought them for both our club and home.
Makes dealing with the nightmare of different size plastic containers a breeze.
Glass lunch boxKitaThick but not heavy, secure locks
UsefulMonicaGreat container for storage of bits and pieces. Useful size.
Good buy Good sizeShukIt’s very good size for storage raw, defrosting, cooked food and leftovers. Of course good price as well
Finally storage containers that are practical.IrenI have bought the glass and the plastic containers and love the fact that I only have 2 sizes of lids for 4 different shapes. They are easy to use and stack in the fridge or cupboard. Really keeps the veg. in particular fresh for longer that I have been used to.
GreatManojWell made
Great storage for small spaces, multifunctionalSThe cover fits many depths of the same storage series, great for the morning cereals, or multiple small packets of groceries, see through plastic helps in figuring out what all is remaining, without having to open the box. Fits compact spaces.

Story
Helps you take care of food – and the planet
If you want to reduce food waste but sometimes think it’s a bit of a pain to take care of your food, this might help. IKEA 365+ food storage products make it easier to store, save and bring food with you on the go. To get to know more about peoples’ needs, we visited families in several countries. We found out that it’s all about versatility and simplicity.
You've just put leftovers after eating into a food container, but can't find a lid that fits. Or maybe you've put a food container in the fridge with food in it, but you can't see what's inside the food container and completely forget about the food. These were things we heard time and time again when interviewing families about their experiences. “We wanted to develop products to make this easier,” says David Granath, a product developer who has worked with the project. “They should be simple and flexible. And easy to combine and use in ways that suit every household.”
No extra work
Smart and super simple
The IKEA 365+ food containers and lids can be combined and also come in different materials and sizes. They are super simple – and that's the point. “We've put a lot of work into them, for example by seeing to it that all the different parts fit together. But the product itself is simple in a smart way.” We can't solve the entire food waste problem – but we can make it possible for everyone to be part of the solution.
