Best Food Storage Containers

I really love my flat stacks and have purchased multiple sets for my children and for different needs that I have. I do tend to get stolen if you're not careful taking them to work because they're so awesome that everybody wants them

Simple and so useful! We use the PureePops all the time. Just make a batch, fill it up and pop it in the freezer. It is so handy to have meals ready… Read more

ahead of time. We regularly do batch cooking, freeze everything, and we are good to go for a couple of weeks. Anything that makes cooking easier is a win for us!

I have never had a problem with tellfresh before. I bought 3 packs of the 500ml for freezing soup. And the lids would not go on. I had handwashed… Read more

them before using with hot water at about 70 celsius. To be fair, I contacted decor and they sent me replacements... the lids fit on these. I have a reply paid to send back the faulty ones. Excellent service response, I must say, but I won't buy decor anymore. I still won't use the new ones for soup - I've gone to another brand, but I'll use them to store small sewing items and such, as I can't trust that they won't warp under a normal hot wash. I'm flabbergasted that this has happened as nothing has ever been wrong with any decor item before. Seriously disappointing.

Does not work. Mould after 3-4days. Total waste of money. Show details

We got those Jars for storing little meals and leftovers and honestly we use them heaps. Good size, easy to grab from the fridge and easy to clean. It makes managing little leftovers super easy. And we love that they are made of premium glass.

A must for every parent – What a great product and gave me some confidence to use these containers. Nice and compact to store. Lids are easy to get on and off especially with arthritis in the hands Show details

Great storage – Have been using these storage containers for years. Can use in microwave and freezer . My pantry is full of them. Turn upside down with liquid in and doesn’t leak . Worth buying

The containers do not seal in the freezer as promoted. They open up on their own in the freezer. I am very disappointed with this purchase. I… Read more

replaced most of my plastics with rectangle and round decor containers. They are bulky & take up a lot of room in freezer & defeat the purpose l purchased them for, to freezer home cooked meals.

These weak jars are just fantastic. I used to use mason ball ones but these are so much better and more functional. I can’t wait to get more and also be rid of plastic in our lives

Love these storage containers – I have purchased several Tellfresh containers in the past and another branded one but I always go back to purchasing Tellfresh. My entire food… Read more

pantry and fridge is filled with these containers, they are great because they are see through, stack neatly and tidy, look good and much cheaper then tuppaware etc.

I have used them to store dry cat food, to storing coconut in the fridge.

Handy to have extras and a great price to, I always look out for them on special at Woolworths, Coles or Big W.

Just bought a second hand OXO Good Grip Pop 1.0 4.0L container. Our first OXO container. Here are my thoughts of it and the Good Grips Pop 2.0… Read more

comparing it with the many other containers we have especially the Tupperware and Klip It.

Summary and Recommendation:

- If looks and ease of use are most important - choose OXO. Good Grip Pop 2.0 uses polypropylene (PP) while 1.0 uses styrene-acrylonitrile resin (SAN). The polypropylene resin used in 2.0 is pretty clear while SAN is totally clear. Polypropylene is much more shatter proof and more resistant to scratches. SAN is an older plastic type which is somewhat brittle. The Pop system makes it very easy to open, particularly good for users who find others (eg Klip It Plus) harder to use. Here is a caveat - the relatively large lid with sides sloping outward makes it attractive to hold onto the lid when picking up the container. This is an absolutely no no coz the lid will come off spilling the contents everywhere as a result.

- If seal / reliability are most important - choose Tupperware. Tupperware uses food grade polypropylene, high-density polyethylene (HDPE, code #2) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE, code #4). In particular polypropylene & HDPE are not clear hence the cloudy look of the container, providing poor / no view of the contents inside and arguably vintage looks. But the trade off is ultimate resilience to shattering from drops and longevity and good seal from the LDPE lid.

- If price / performance balance is most important - choose Klip It / Klip It Plus. Klip It containers are readily available everywhere, such as supermarkets - woolies, coles; at Kmart, etc and often on sale. They have side clips which hold the lid tightly to the tub. Original Klip It where locking clips flip up to lock onto the lid creating a system so reliable that many would hold the lid to carry the container several litres heavy. Newer Klip It Plus has clips that flip down catching the tub could open if user hold the container by the clips (like they might be used to as original Klip It owners). But Klip It Plus seal is a beefy thicker rubber band providing excellent seal making it hard to open the container especially when it is new.

More on OXO Good Grips Pop 1.0 / 2.0:

Softworks vs Good Grips and version - there is a more budget friendly Softworks line of Pop containers with lesser seal and thinner (2.8mm) walls (vs 4mm). With Good Grips line, GG Pop 1.0 released in 2007 and GG Pop 2.0 released in 2019. They use different materials and seal design, it is important to note which model is being reviewed.

Ease of use - the patented big Pop button squeezes the silicon seal creating a spring loaded tight seal between the silicon seal and the clear tub. The Pop button also provides an easy to grip opening for the lid with one hand, uniform and consistent, regardless of the size of the container. Not two hands needed such as for Klip It Plus especially when it is new and seal is really tight.

Airtight - GG Pop are airtight according to OXO. However, GG Pop 2.0 has a better design with a full diaphragm vs a band as per Pop 1.0 hence provides a better seal. GG Pop 1.0 lid can have plastic mould lines, on the lid underside plastic plate at the corners, which weakens the seal. Also debris can be trapped between the silicon band and the underside of the lid which weakening the seal. For best airtight performance from a GG Pop 1.0, perhaps add a piece of cling wrap to the tub before closing the lid.

Cleaning - debris can build up at the seal so it is important to clean the OXO lid around the seal in addition to cleaning the tub. Important to note the lid is designed to be taken apart for cleaning. You don't have to soak the whole lid with the whole Pop mechanism and crevices inside trapping water thus hard to dry. Just clean the seal and the detachable lid base and remove any trapped debris periodically.

Weakness - there is one glaring weakness with the OXO GG Pop 2.0 system. Feels like OXO prioritised aesthetic over practicality. GG Pop lid sticks out, loud and proud, above the tub. The sides of the container and lid has a continuous line sloping outwards. This means the lid is "larger" than the tub. Kids might pick up the whole container by the lid, pulling the lid off as a result, dropping all the beautiful contents inside everywhere. Pop 1.0's lid's sides slopped inward. One can't grab it to pull out the lid unless he/she is a basketball player.

External vs internet dimensions - in order to accommodate the Pop mechanism and provide good seal, the lid is large and the gasket is thick. It sticks out at least 1.5cm from the tub and occupies a fair volume inside the tub (~2cm deep) too. Consider this if you are really short on space.

Worth noting that OXO did produce glass version with steel lid. Obviously they are considerably heavier. When properly maintained, they might provide better seal. In summary, I award 4 stars to OXO GG Pop 2.0. If properly maintained, it should provide a good seal and make your kitchen look amazing. Just be careful and resist picking up the container by the lid, both you and anyone with access to it.

space. It can be used to store costume jewellery and keep the room neat and tidy as it can stack up. Easy to identify the items stored as the containers transparent.

Great product and good value for money. Will purchase again

Absolutely love ZERO cling film /cling wrap. Just like the real thing but ok for the environment. I buy them in bulk and share with my family and… Read more

friends. My husband doesn’t like the cutting mechanism but I don’t find it an issue, I call it operator error, just happy to use it guilt free.

Poor product. Melts and cracks – I have 6 of these and they all failed within 3 months. They can't stand the heat in the microwave as the base melts and the lids go white. If you… Read more

freeze them and accidentally drop or knock them they crack as if they were glass. This product is a false economy, buy something better as they are pure disposable plastic landfill.

died...they are still here just looking a bit old and worn. I bought all the other lunchboxes for my grandkids with compartments etc....what a pain to clean, especially is they put their half eaten yoghurt back. These are the best and I highly recommend them.

Fantastic containers, very high quality and durable, easy to clean, keeps food nice & fresh! – I found about about the Luvele containers from a YouTube channel (Chef Jack Ovens), and they seemed like a much better alternative than the plastic… Read more

vacuum seal containers I had in the past (like the FoodSaver ones, which are great for a bit but quickly lose vacuum after a few uses).

I got the mixed set with the pump at first, then a few more of the sizes I use most often (750 mL & 1.3 L), and so far they have held up extremely well to almost a hundred uses so far with no loss of vacuum or degradation of the lids or seal (the glass is fine too). The pump is easy to charge, and much quieter than using my large FoodSaver with the hose attachment like the plastic containers required. I usually just use them in the fridge, but the few times I stuck them in the freezer that worked quite well too. They are very easy to clean (dishwasher for the glass, handwash the lids) and haven't had any issues so far.

Because I like them so much I just ordered a set for my sister and her husband as a Christmas present, and have recommended them to others as they keep food nice & fresh while being very easy to clean and maintain.

Very happy with the product so far, and plan to get more as I need them!

My Airscape canister arrived beautifully packaged and felt premium from the moment I opened the box. I like the fact that the company doesn’t rely on… Read more

plastic packaging or paper fillings. The soft cloth bag it came in made it look premium.

The canister itself is stylish, sturdy, and exactly what I was looking for to store my coffee beans. The Airscape lid is easy to use and creates a great seal, giving me confidence that my beans will stay fresher for longer. It looks fantastic on my coffee station and pairs perfectly with my espresso machine.

Overall, I’m extremely happy with the quality, packaging, and design. If you’re serious about keeping your coffee beans fresh while adding a sleek touch to your setup, I’d definitely recommend an Airscape canister.

I have used nearly a full roll no problems it appears to be a good product.

Lids do not stay on, so totally useless. Now I know why they were half price at Coles. I was trying move away from plastic, but looks I’ll keep using plastic instead.

I just put some cooked rice in 2 of these tiny containers then battled to close the lids. I looked online for ideas and found heaps of complaints… Read more

like mine. I didn’t find any suggestions but I turned the containers with the lids on,onto their sides and pressed the blue clips in with my thumb. That worked. Now I don’t expect removal after freezing will be that easy. Running them under some hot water might help. I won’t be buying any more of these little devils. I’d like to find some small glass containers for freezing but I understand that not all glass is suitable to freeze.

Practical and beautiful – These containers are space-efficient, they stack, they have see-through lids which makes them great for drawers, and they look great. I use them for… Read more

spices and legumes which has removed many packets from my pantry and spice drawer and made it easier to find what I need. These containers make it easier to see what is running low and where everything is. They are not the same seal as a screw-top jar but they have a seal that works well.

Not a big fan of Sistema Ultra - lid goes on without clips being aligned so you have 50% chance of getting it wrong unless you look carefully - lids… Read more

hard to remove so requires 2 hands. Could they have put a cam on the clip so when the clip is opened it lifts the lid as well? - lids should have a more tapered fit so you don’t need 2 hands to press it down so you can engage clips. I’m not a product designer but surely it was tested and critiqued in developmt before going to production so these sort of things could have been averted.

Keeps the beans airtight sealed.. easy to use.. love it!! Show details

Preserving Jars – Have been using fowler Preserving Jars for 40 years and they have never let me down. I also have a supply of Ball Mason Preserving Jars and find I have a higher success rate with Fowlers 3 piece fitting lids than Ball 2 piece lids.

these pre cut bags. convenient No cons but sometimes the stores don't carry the pre cut bags just the continuous rolls.

What is happening to Glad Wrap? You need to improve the strength of the box! I bought a 100m box and am not even halfway through, but the box has buckled and fallen apart trying to cut the film. Useless! This has happened with previous ones as well.

You get what you pay for. Lids useless after a week as they wouldn’t lock. Entire set thrown in the bin where it belongs. Will never buy another Anco product w Show details
