Whether you prefer a neat pantry like Courteney Cox channeling her hyper-organized character on “Friends” or just want to keep your leftovers around a bit longer, you’ve likely wondered what the best food storage containers are to do the job. There are many affordable options available that offer a tight seal to lock in freshness, but when it comes down to choosing between glass and plastic, it all depends on your preferences and your food storage needs.
Abigail Hitchcock, chef and owner of Abigail’s Kitchen in New York, NY, says in a professional kitchen, plastic food containers are hands-down the best choice because glass can shatter. But for home use, Hitchcock says, “I do like the idea of using glass because I feel that it’s something you can heat stuff up and it’s not going to melt and it’s probably not going to get into your food. ” (This is an issue with plastic containers, though note that all of the plastic containers on the list are BPA-free.) Still, she notes that glass is much heavier than plastic. Ideally, whatever food containers you choose, they should stack for even easier storage.
