Ways to maintain your precious Tupperware.

Thank you SuganVijay.

 

Do try the warm water,dish wash liquid,baking soda technique.It works.

 

Welcome,Indhu.

 

I would like to share another incident too.

Last week ,we went to a short one day family trip.Usually,we pack food for lunch and eat dinner at hotel.Instead of reguler mixed rice varieties,I took cooked white rice in a tupperware container.

Vathal kuzhambhu(CVVK from Chitvish),fried papads,potato peas masala,curd,salt.All the items were packed in Tupperware containers.

Rice



CVVK,potato and curd.



For papads,



I cooked everything by morning 8 AM and we had lunch by 2.30 PM.We returned by night 11.30 PM.

I found the vathal kuzhambhu stil fresh.I kept it inside the fridge and had on next day.It was so fresh .The papads stayed crisp and fresh for two weeks.

Next time I am planning to take sambhar ,rasam everything.

 

Yes,you can .Please mention the size ,shape and name of the container.Lids are available for sale.But,sometimes,you won't get the same colour.In that case ,we can choose white colour lid.

Contact your nearest Tupperware consultant or PM me.

 

Thanks ,Harini.

I really love the oil dispenser.

It is very handy to pour sesame oil into chutneys or idli podi.The grip is good and the oil doesn't flow out.Even if the can gets sticky,we can close the lid tightly and straight away wash it with soap and water.No need to empty the content and clean.As it is airtight,there is no fear of water getting into the container.

Apart from storing oil,it is very convenient to store honey.We can add honey drop by drop into anything like green tea,medicines,bread,etc.

Mainly,this container is a salvation to ants problem.While travelling also ,we can carry oil or honey.

One of my friends,store lemon juice in this bottle and keep it in fridge.Whenever necessary,she uses it.

 

Yes.and also if you pack curd rice,it won't get too sour .

Right.Cooked food doesn't get spoiled easily.

Apart from the fact that Tupperware products are made from good quality plastic,the magic lies in the seal.Every variety of product has different kind of seal.

For the containers meant to be used for refrigerating purpose,the seals are breathable.They allow free air circulation.

For,dry storage containers ,the seals are air tight.This allows the items stored in dry storage canistetrs,to be more fresh and crisp free from pests.

Generally,the shelf life of all cereals,pulses,grains stored in dry storage increases by 3 times.

For example,if you store rava in a normal airtight container,it stays good for a month.Whereas in Tupperware it stays fresh free from pests and insects for 4 months and above.

As I said earlier,it is not advisable to store very hot food in Tupperware or any plastic items.What you follow seems to be the best idea.Taking rice in hot box and every thing else in Tupperware containers.

Unless your containers have scratches ,you can use them for ever.I have seen people using Tupperware for 10 years and above.

Avoid soap bars as they have abrasive chemicals.Use liquid dish washing detergents.

The secret lies in the maintenance.
