Clever Containers

Many of the foods you buy are probably packaged in reusable plastic containers, complete with lids. Why not utilize those to store your leftovers, instead of plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or freezer bags? You’ll save money and use fewer of our earth’s limited resources.

Be careful about reheating leftovers in these types of containers, though. They’re not designed for use in the microwave. You’re better off transferring your food to a microwaveable dish prior to reheating. Not only is it safer, it’s also more aesthetically appealing for you and your family. Use a pretty plate, and you may forget you’re having leftovers entirely!
