Keep food airtight and aroma-proof: Food storage containers from RÖSLE
You can never have enough food storage containers, as they serve numerous purposes in the household: as storage containers, they ensure that herbs and spices, muesli and nuts, as well as anything that is only eaten in small portions, stays fresh and aromatic. As storage containers, they protect food from environmental influences and moth infestation - provided that they are high-quality food storage containers. As refrigerator tins, they help to prevent strong odors from spreading, for example when the Harzer Roller is stored in them.
If you always want to have fresh supplies to hand at home, you are therefore well advised to buy food storage containers and pay attention to quality and sustainability. Read below to find out how to recognize the quality of food storage containers.
Basic requirements for food storage containers for food storage
High-quality food storage containers are not only used to store food that already has a long shelf life, such as flour, sugar, coffee or tea. They can also be used to safely store raw or cooked food, cheese or sausage and frozen food.
Desserts, salads or soups can be filled in the desired portions and taken to work or to a picnic. If there is still food left over from the buffet at the end of a party, a food storage tin can also be used to give your favorite guests something to take with them.
Food storage containers are versatile if they are also suitable for filling with hot food or for cooling and freezing. Therefore, make sure that the tins are resistant to heat and cold.
A second important selection criterion concerns the lids and closures of food storage containers. To ensure that your food really lasts longer and that the purchase of food storage containers is worthwhile, they must be airtight.
Numerous tests have already shown that cheap plastic containers are not suitable for airtight storage, as the lids do not seal airtight the first time they are used or become deformed over time.
If you still want to buy plastic tins as food storage containers, make sure that the material and workmanship are right. Above all, this means that the material should not contain any plasticizers, should not react with food, should not absorb/permeate odours and should not discolour.
However, inexpensive plastic containers rarely meet these requirements and also need to be replaced more frequently, which makes the initial price advantage obsolete.
It is therefore much safer and more sustainable to keep your food fresh in storage containers made of stainless steel and/or glass with a perfectly fitting lid. Stainless steel also has the advantage that it does not break and can withstand knocks during transportation. High-quality stainless steel, such as that used by RÖSLE, is food-safe, tasteless and odorless and is easy to clean in the dishwasher.
High-quality material and design: quality features of food storage containers
Safe material and an excellent seal are therefore the outstanding features of durable, high-quality food storage containers. Only an airtight lid guarantees that the food stays fresh and that nothing leaks during transportation. If you want to freeze food in the food storage container, an airtight lid is also essential to prevent freezer burn.
To ensure that the lid lasts a long time, it must be temperature-resistant like the entire food storage container and be easy to open and close. Twist locks or click locks are a good choice, but it is even better if the lid has a rubber ring or silicone coating similar to that of preserving jars, which fits snugly around the rim of the jar.
As food storage containers are often kept on open shelves, design plays an important role. Stainless steel and glass food storage containers are the clear winners here, as they can be beautifully arranged as eye-catchers. The same applies if you also want to use the food storage containers as party or serving bowls. It makes a considerable visual difference whether you present pasta, soups or salads in a plastic bowl or in a shiny stainless steel bowl with a glass cling lid.
Using stainless steel food storage containers for the buffet is also practical, as stainless steel can keep food cool or warm for longer. And instead of having to cover the bowls with foil, simply leave the glass lid on until the buffet opens. If there are any leftovers at the end, you can put the lids back on and put the food in the fridge without having to pour it over.
If you need a large number of food storage containers or have little storage space available, make sure that the lids and bases are flat so that the containers can be stacked.
Hygienic and food-safe: food storage containers and serving bowls with food storage lids from RÖSLE
Stainless steel is one of the fascinating materials that we at RÖSLE are always enthusiastic about. Stainless steel is perfect for keeping food fresh and hygienic.
In our range, you will therefore only find stainless steel tins and bowls with glass cling lids for storing all kinds of food. A silicone rim on the hardened glass lids ensures an airtight and aroma-tight seal, so that muesli remains crunchy and spices and herbs retain their delicate fragrance. The tab on the silicone rim can simply be pulled up to open the lid. And so that you can assign the right spoon or coffee measure to each jar, the silicone sleeves have a small recess on the flap that serves as a holder.
RÖSLE food storage containers are available in various sizes and shapes. You can find precise information on dimensions and filling quantities in our detailed product descriptions. The tins are heat-resistant up to 180 °C and can be used together with the lid for storing food in the freezer (down to -50 °C). All RÖSLE food storage containers are also free from bisphenol A (BPA) and suitable for permanent food contact.
The elegant design of our food storage containers means that they are popular on open shelves and can be combined in all sizes and heights. The hardened glass lid allows you to see the fill level at all times and eliminates the need for labeled labels. The flat lid and stable, even production also allow you to stack several tins.
If you would like to use stainless steel food storage containers not only for stocking but also for serving, we recommend purchasing a bowl set from our range, which has the same excellent properties as our food storage containers with food storage lids. The bowls are made of satin stainless steel with a mirror-polished rim and make an attractive focal point on the festive table or at the buffet. With a diameter of 20 and 24 cm, they have a capacity of 3.1 and 5.4 liters respectively - plenty of volume to present your soups, salads or desserts in an appetizing way.
Existing bowls, pots or pans can also be used with a RÖSLE food storage lid to store and keep food fresh. Our food storage lids are available in eight different sizes, with diameters ranging from 5 to 24 cm, so that they fit well with the standard dimensions of cookware
