No matter how hard you clean, sometimes plastic food containers will bear the marks of the contents you stored in them. That frustrating surface porosity that sees tomato sauces and oily food discoloration stubbornly remain despite your efforts can be a telltale sign of poor quality and potentially, microplastic leaching.
To keep my family safe from the carcinogenic and hormone-disrupting chemicals found in some plastic food containers, I switched over to an elegant, non-toxic ceramic-covered glass Caraway set, with peekaboo lids and silicone seals for air-tight meal, food prep, and leftovers storage. They go from freezer to oven or microwave safely, too, meaning I need fewer items to do all of these daily tasks.
