Ways to maintain your precious Tupperware.

Thank you Kishoremommy for these useful tips. Was not aware of so many tips and tipperware guidelines. Your post is a perfect spot for maintaining tupperware

 

Dear kishoremommy,

I had been gifted a lot of tupperware items such as 10 kg rice keeper, multimasala container, four oil can (two large and two small), lot of canisters, modular mate oval and round etc etc by my parents during my marriage.

I am having certain queries regarding tupperware...hope u can clarify me with the same...

1) Now after 5 years the oil can lid had been chipped in the corner and i cannot use it for closing the same. When i contacted the dealer she replied that she had stopped selling tupperware products now. I had gone to some local shops and purchased some oil can for time being.

I dont know other person dealing with tupperware and i am not sure even if i find they will do the replacement of the lid alone. Can you plz explain what to do in my case. All the other products are well now...whether replacement will be there for my oil can or whether i can throw it out as i am not having anyother lid for it.

2) Meanwhile i am having query about using tupperware product in microwave. Whether it is safe to cook curry, kootu etc as it is made of plastic. As of now, we can read in newspaper that it is not advisable to use plastic for cooking in microwave as it will lead to cancer. I am not asking about reheating as i am okay with it.

3) In the shops i can see some signoraware containers which are similar to tupperware. The cost is affordable also and they are claiming that it is made just like tupperware 100% virgin plastic. Instead of spending a lot on tupperware and finding for replacement we can use and throw even if signoraware containers go off and get new ones.

4) Regarding lunch boxes whether we can carry food daily in tupperware plastic containers as once again the fear of plastics (such as keeping food in plastic containers and eating the same is hazardous to health) is flashing in my mind and my husband got one hot pack recently to pack his lunch.

Kindly clarify and i am awaiting for your reply.
