Food Storage

[Guest guest]

I am trying to get a handle on all of this. I have been using

tupperware/rubbermaid containers for my daughters ice cream and other items such

as muffins, pizza crusts, bread that I make up ahead of time and then freeze. I

was aware that you should not put these items in the microwave but had not

realized that using them for any food storage was unsafe. Also what do you put

raw meat/ chicken in to freeze and finally (for now) if you cook meals in

advance what do you freeze them in. I am afraid I may be doing more harm than

good.

Thanks

Use what you have, and don't panic. It reaches a point where we can get

so finicky over every little detail that we might as well give up

eating.

Plenty of people have gotten well storing their food in plastic

containers. Just look for the better kinds if you need to use

them.

I use some because I don't have ROOM in either fridge or freezer for all

the food I prepare if I put it in glass. Plus, there's my talent for

dropping things on the floor. At least with plastic, I can salvage the

food.
