Tips to keep food fresh longer
Here are our best tips for optimizing the storage of different foods in glass food boxes:
- Store fresh vegetables: Use a glass vacuum lunch box to preserve vegetables longer by preventing oxygen from entering. It keeps the vegetables fresh and crunchy for longer.
- Separate wet and dry ingredients: If you're packing meals for the week, like salads or pasta dishes, be sure to keep wet ingredients, like dressings, separate to avoid softening other ingredients.
- Use the right size lunch box: To avoid the food drying out, it is important to use a lunch box that is not too large. A glass lunch box that fits the amount of food prevents air from collecting, which can lead to dehydration.
- Store in the fridge or freezer: Glass food boxes work great in both the fridge and the freezer. Be sure to let food cool before placing it in a freezer, and when you thaw food, do so slowly to maintain texture and flavor.
Food storage for different foods in glass food boxes
Glass food boxes are versatile and can be used to store a variety of foods. Here are some specific tips for how best to store different types of food:

- Leftovers: Leftovers can easily be stored in glass food boxes in the fridge. For optimal shelf life, make sure the box is tightly closed and place it in the refrigerator immediately after the meal.
- Prepared meals: Meal prep is easy with glass lunch boxes because they can be used in both the oven and the microwave. Prepare your meals in advance and store them in the fridge or freezer for quick, healthy meals during the week.
