Why You Should Use Square or Rectangular Food Storage Containers

May 23,2024

If you’re thinking of investing in a set of food storage containers, you’ve probably already mulled over of a bunch of different factors: Glass or plastic? Regular lids or hinges? Do they need to be oven or microwave safe? But the thing that you might not have thought about is shape, and I’ve become a strong proponent of choosing square or rectangular-shaped containers rather than round ones. Here’s why!
