According to Sharon Franke, director of the Kitchen Appliances and Technology Lab of the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, air is one of the major factors that can cause fast spoilage of cooked or raw food. She stressed out the importance of airtight containers in food storage because they keep it from developing freezer burns, getting soggy or dry, or absorbing odors of other food items because these containers don't allow air to pass through freely.

After years of testing different airtight containers, she found out that the best choice was still made of glass with tight lids that should be virtually leak proof. But if  you feel that made of glass wouldn't fit your lifestyle or be applicable to you, she said that made of plastic could also work. Plastic containers, like glass, are non-porous which don't allow air to come in and out easily.

Food grade and non-toxic plastic airtight containers, for me, fit my lifestyle more since I have very young children. They are lightweight that make them easier to carry and clean without any worries of breaking them that even my kids can handle. Aside from being food grade, safe, and non-toxic, here are the factors that I consider in looking for the best airtight plastic containers and Tupperware Fresh Staks meet my requirements:

- help store more and waste less 

Tupperware, the brand of plastic containers used in households to store food and keep it airtight, was developed in 1946 by Earl Silas Tupper in Leominster, Massachusetts. He patented its "burping seal" that made it unique from competitors.

Medium (Capacity: 1.3 L; Dimensions: 27.6 cm L x 13.5 cm W x 6.7 cm H), Large (Capacity: 2.2 L; Dimensions: 27.6 cm L x 13.5 cm W x 9.7 cm H),  Jumbo (Capacity: 3.1 L; Dimensions: 27.6 cm L x 13.5 cm W x 12.8 cm H)

To ensure that I use them properly to serve their purpose, their lids must be properly placed. Below is a step by step instruction on how I properly seal them.

1. Place lid, groove over container rim and press one corner.

2. Slide thumbs over top of lid edges to opposite corners.

3. Continue to slide thumbs over edges to fourth corner.

To remove the lid, I just lift it on one corner then lift other three corners one at a time. Easy peasy!

I am more confident that our family saves more and waste less because Tupperware Fresh Staks really work! Like my positive experience, Tupperware Brands Philippines would like to give a special treat to one of you, my lucky readers/followers!

I'm a mom preoccupied with so much things to do yet there's little time. I want all things to be covered as much as possible to avoid piling up of tasks because in the long run, I'm the one who's going to suffer. One of the things that I do is to find ways and means to make my job quick and easy to finish without hampering the quality of work and its outcome. For me, most of the tasks that are time consuming require CLEANING.

Purchasing different cleaning aids from detergents, soaps, bleaches, disinfectants, and sponges that do the work squeeky clean hastily is what I love to do.

One of the best purchases that I made at my recent Uratex Philippines Retail Showroom was the INOAC MAGIC SPONGE. I was impressed when I read the product job and description. I became more impressed when I tried and tested it that made me say to myself, "Bakit ngayon ka lang dumating sa buhay ko?"

Before I go further, here are some details about the INOAC MAGIC SPONGE:

In my opinion...

The mere fact that the INOAC MAGIC SPONGE cleans quickly and flawlessly makes me love it to bits! In less effortless strokes, our counter top, sink, and bathroom tiles and fixtures become free from deep seeded dirt, grout, and watermarks. With extra gentle strokes, it can literally remove stain from painted walls and porcelain. Using it is very economical because I don't need to increase the strength of my soap solution because the sponge itself can clean effectively with the aid of water only. One piece may be a little pricey but it's large and I can cut it to my desired size and keep the rest for future use. It goes a long way. It's easy to wash and dry too.I find cleaning more fun and easy with this sponge. It's perfect for super busy homemakers like me. I'm really so glad that I've purchased it. I save more time, energy, and money!

I've tried and tested so many sponges but INOAC MAGIC SPONGE is definitely my favorite! I highly recommend this and I'm going to bet my name on it! Promise, you're going to love it too!

It's easy to find because it's also available at the hardware section of major malls aside from all Uratex Philippines Retail Showrooms.

If you want to avail the INOAC MAGIC SPONGE at 20% OFF, just go to any Uratex Philippines Retail Showroom near you. Promo runs until December 31, 2015!

There are many ways you can organize your food storage containers, so feel free to use your imagination or ask around for more interesting ideas. Just remember to keep only the containers which you actually use. The good thing about the cleaning of your cabinets is that you will have the chance to throw out all the things you don't need, including the old and damaged containers, as well as the ones which have no lids.
