STORAGE · BUYING GUIDE

Food storage that fits your cupboards

Choose containers around the space you have and the food you keep.

Measure first

Measure shelf height and depth before buying a set. Consider the space you need to lift a lid or slide a container out.

Match the container to the job

Dry cupboard ingredients and leftover meals may call for different containers. Check each manufacturer’s stated uses rather than assuming every container is freezer, dishwasher or microwave suitable.

Think about everyday handling

Look for lids you can open comfortably. Stackable shapes can help use shelf space, while clear sides make contents easier to spot.

Build a useful set

Start with the sizes you use most. A large set is only useful if each piece has a purpose. Keep manufacturer care and food-contact instructions to hand.
