Storing food without plastic

13.04.2019

As i wrote in a long post on the page catogories https://low-waste-life.cms.webnode.se/l/why-stop-using-plastic-all-together/

having  food containers and drinking bottles in plastic is highly dangerous. Instead i here give my tips of food storage items that are a better alternative to plastic

To swap out your food storage containers in plastic, try using food containers in either glass or metal or food bags in silicone.

To swap out your aluminium foil and plastic film, try using either  bees way paper, soy wax paper, fabric or silicon wrappers. Beeswax paper or soy wax paper you can find in almost any eco or bulk store. Silicon wrappers you can find online by searching for it on google. 

Down below i show all the things i use to store food in, wrap over plates or wrap food in.

I have used both glass and metal jars for a while now and i think they work fine. Glass or metal jars are easy to find in almost every store. 

My silicon bags i have from two different companies. 

Zip top and Stasher. 

Both works fine for different purposes but they are not totally leak proof so liquids i would still store in a glass jar or maybe in thermo drinking bottle. 

Both zip top and stashed have the problems that they easily gets dusty but it's easily sorted by washing them with some water. 

They can also be washed in the dish washer 

Both type of bags can be heated in microwave and oven and in a pot of hot water on the stove. 

beeswax and soy wax papers can be dried of with a wet cloth to work better again. 

The silicone wrappers i don't know if you can use in microwave and oven but they can be washed in the dish washer. 

I love all my swaps and i use all my products on a daily bases and they work fine. 

I promise you that if you make the swaps you won't know or miss what you did or used before.
