You know what they say: Behind every organized kitchen is a great set of food storage containers. From dry goods like beans and pasta to leftovers and meal prep, these vessels are the backbone of a kitchen.Get more news about Storage Jar,you can vist our website!

But considering how many times we have loved and lost a Tupperware lid, we know all too well that the quality of a food storage container can make or break your fridge and pantry organization. You've likely thrown out plenty of cheap, flimsy, stain-prone containers after they've failed you one too many times over the years. Or perhaps you've opened your cabinet to an avalanche of repurposed plastic takeout containers. Our advice: Clear them all out and start fresh with a set you can trust to last for years to come.

Despite what some may claim, no food storage container can keep your leftovers fresher for longer. In fact, Nicole Papantoniou, Director of the Good Housekeeping Institute's Kitchen Appliances & Culinary Innovation Lab, advised that there's no set period for how long food storage containers can keep food fresh. "It varies on the food and the container. Fresh food has different points at which they go bad, so I would defer to the FDA's guidelines for how long you can expect different produce to last," she said.

However, there are plenty of other attributes that can relieve your stress by totally transforming your food-storage experience. You can't go wrong with Rubbermaid or Pyrex. Some even say Ball Mason Jars are better than Tupperware because they're more durable, sustainable, and budget-friendly. But no matter what your preference may be, we've rounded up the 12 best kitchen containers for storing food, liquids, flour, and everything in between.
Mason jars: They're for more than just making some tasty homemade ice cream. Rice, jams, condiments, sauces, salsas, fruits and vegetables-if you can name it, you can probably store it in a mason jar. These clear Ball Glass Canning Jars are perfect for preserving food with their wide mouth design and screw-on metal lids that keep liquids contained and tightly secured. They're even dishwasher-safe!

Most produce typically lasts just a few days after you've washed and cut them up before they go bad. But with Ball's Canning Jars, you can extend that lifespan by as much as a week to a week and a half. For best results, leave about a half inch of room at the top to allow for the jar's contents to expand and store them in a cool, dark, and dry space that is at least 6 inches off the ground.
Regarding the Ball Canning Jars, Papantoniou shared, "They can be used for a million and one things, even outside of the kitchen, and are pretty inexpensive." She also pointed out that they "typically have lids that are metal and can rust, and the flat part will eventually need to be replaced. So it's sustainable, in a way, but they may require a little more maintenance. But it's a good reusable model-they're clear, they're sturdy, and they're a little cheaper."

Between dropping them on the floor, shoving them in bags and lunchboxes, and throwing them in the dishwasher, food storage containers take a beating. (And that's before you add kids into the mix.) Though they're more stain- and odor-resistant than plastic, you may not think glass containers are practical enough to withstand the chaos of your kitchen, but don't underestimate the power of Anchor Hocking's TrueSeal Food Storage Containers.

"I really like these-the lids seal well and are easy to take off without fear of them breaking over the years, and I just like that they're good quality glass," Papantoniou declared, adding "This is good for people who prefer round containers because they come in so many different sizes. It's also unique that parts of the tops of the lids are clear, so you can see inside from all angles."
I once had a friend return from a relaxing, extended vacation only to discover her cupboards had been raided. Not by humans, Borrowers, or sentient toys, but rather pantry moths. After witnessing the havoc those little demons wreaked on her dry ingredients, she tossed her dilapidated old containers and traded them in for a OXO Good Grips Baking Essentials POP Container Set, which has dutifully protected her cereal, flour, spices, and chocolate (yes, they even got the chocolate) for several years.

"What we liked about these is they're really transparent and are made of good-quality plastic, so they have no glare to them-you can see through them very nicely," Papantoniou said. "The lids are thin and can be now washed in the dishwasher, which is a nice change. They're modular and can be stacked, which is great for storage, and they come with your standard sizes for common baking ingredients like flour, sugar, and brown sugar. But I would not recommend these for on-the-go because they don't have leak-proof lids."

The way this durable, BPA-free set works is foolproof: Fill ‘em up, secure the lid, and push the button on top-which can also double as a handle!-to get an airtight seal. (Just be sure to heed OXO's advice and don't carry these containers by their lids.) And the Good Grips POP Containers' space-saving design isn't just limited to their stackability. This set also comes fully loaded with accessories like measuring scoops that attach to the underside of the lids and a Brown Sugar Saver that ensures your brown sugar doesn't end up rock-hard.
