Food containers are a great way to keep food fresher longer. And when your food stays fresh, you increase the chance that it gets eaten and not thrown away. Saving you money on your food bill and precious food resources.

Go ahead and cook food in the microwave - but not in plastic food containers. Plastic looses shape if it's exposed to temperatures over 100°C. But you can use plastic jars for thawing or warming food in the micro. Just remember to take off the lid or open the vent, if there is one.

When you warm food in a food saver directly in the microwave - don't forget to take off the lid, or open the vent, if there is one. The steam creates a strong pressure that can force the lid to blow off. Or the heat can deform the plastic entirely.
