Make the most of the time you spend buying groceries, cutting ingredients, cooking and baking by ensuring your food stays fresh. Food storage containers keep ingredients and leftovers fresher longer and make it easy to enjoy meals on the go. Ace has a wide variety of food storage solutions, including bags and containers from brands like Ziploc and Rubbermaid.
Silicone, Glass and Plastic Food Storage Containers
Reusable food storage containers are an ideal solution for keeping your meals organized. Most are plastic food containers, but manufacturers also make containers out of other materials, such as silicone, glass, stainless steel and aluminum. Each material offers its own benefits:
- Plastic containers are lightweight, affordable and commonly available.
- Silicone food containers are flexible, have low toxicity and are heat-resistant.
- Glass containers are durable, non-toxic and do not absorb food odors.
- Aluminum containers are lightweight and easily portable.
Choosing the Right Size for Your Food Containers
When choosing a container, consider the size that best meets your needs:
- Large, tall containers store dry goods such as cereal, flour and sugar.
- Small containers are versatile, handling everything from meal prep to lunches to leftovers.
For added convenience, choose a food storage set that provides multiple containers in a variety of sizes at one price.
Food Storage Bags in an Array of Sizes
Food storage bags are perfect for storing ingredients or taking snacks, sandwiches and other foods on the go. Consider these factors when selecting food storage bags:
- Size: Many manufacturers offer bags in gallon, quart, sandwich and snack sizes, so you can choose the option that's right for whatever you're storing.
- Closure type: Food storage bags get secured by wire or plastic bag ties. Others feature zipper tops that you press to seal. Slider or slide food storage bags have a tab that you simply pull to close. Some brands have color-changing zipper and slider closures that make it easy to tell when bags are fully closed to prevent leaks and spills.
- Usage: Freezer bags are specifically designed for freezer storage, while other bags are for fresh foods, dry foods and using on the go.
- Label areas: Some food bags have a label area for you to write the date or a description of the contents.
