When it comes to storing food in the fridge both glass and plastic containers have their ups and downs.
Glass is typically more durable and is less likely to absorb smells or stains. Some glass containers can even be used in the freezer and oven, making them versatile. And if you want to do your bit for the planet, they also tend to be more eco-friendly. However, glass is heavier and more likely to break, so it may not be the best option if you’ve prepped a load of meals to take to work.
Meanwhile, plastic containers are easier to carry around and, due to their smaller nature, take up less storage space. So, if you’re looking to stock up on meal prep, you can spread it into portions without taking over your fridge or freezer.
