The Amount of Spoiled Food in Leftover Containers I’ve Had to Throw Out Is Criminal…
And I’m talking both takeout containers and the plastic tupperwares I thought would keep my food safe. They can usually hold out for a couple of days or so, but anything beyond that? That food waste goes into the trash and is replaced by nothing but my guilty conscience.
I’d been thinking about upgrading to some of the beautiful glass containers I see all over my social media because I know they do a much better job of keeping food safe, organized, and clean. Nothing really stood out to me, though, until I saw Caraway’s stunning Food Storage Set.
I knew Caraway had a cult following of chefs, celebrities, and press like Architectural Digest and Refinery29 from their devotion to non-stick cookware that’s completely non-toxic (my sister has a set of their iconic Cookware and I’m obsessed every time I go visit). But I didn’t realize they also made the most organized and effective food container system in history.
At $245 for 5 containers (and some other bonuses), this set is certainly not cheap, but it might be the single best investment I’ve made for my kitchen… ever. Let me explain.
Caraway’s Attention to Detail Is Nothing New
Caraway launched with their now-legendary Cookware Set in 2019 based on the simple idea that cooking should be clean, non-toxic, simple, and enjoyable. Over 65,000 reviewers have given Caraway 4.8/5 stars because their products do more than just get the job done—they bring a little magic into your kitchen.
And this Food Storage Set is no different. I mean they instantly solved the dilemma of the crowded cabinet tupperware avalanche by incorporating a magnetic storage rack that keeps lids with proper containers and keeps the whole set neat, tidy, and ready to go.
Part of being magical is keeping out all the bad stuff. U.S. households are exposed to BPA at 5,000 levels higher than the EU, according to their website. These non-stick, ceramic-coated glass containers with BPA-free lids are a better and safer alternative to traditional food storage. This is something I can get behind.
So Here’s What Comes in a Caraway Food Storage Set
The Food Storage Set comes with two small (4.4 cup), two medium (6.6 cup), and one large (10 cup) container. You can get any of these à la carte, but the set includes the best part: 4 Bento-style inserts called Dots & Dashes that make for perfect packed sides and sauces.
The Dots & Dashes have been an absolute game-changer for me. One of the worst parts about storing leftover dinner is having to combine the hot stuff with the cold, or the dry stuff with the wet, and then pulling a soggy mess out of the microwave that has lettuce just as hot as the chicken (and yes, this is gross). These cute little inserts change all of that.
The set also comes with 2 container straps that seal the containers tight and prevent ruining any bags with spilled food. It’s worth mentioning Caraway says the containers aren’t suitable for straight liquids, though, like soups.
The other game-changing addition is the magnetic storage solution. Apart from looking so satisfyingly tidy, these modular racks keep the containers organized and ready to go whenever you need them. No more digging for lids under forgotten pans or undoing a 10-piece DIY Russian nesting doll of tupperware.
This Storage Is So Good, Food Literally Lasts Longer
I have to admit I was kinda already in love with this set the minute I unboxed it (I’m a sucker for chic design.) But I’ve grown increasingly enthralled with it.
For one, my food stays fresher for longer, so I’m not unnecessarily making any more food waste. I went back to Caraway’s website and saw these containers are built with Air Release Technology, which validated that my experience wasn’t wistful thinking.
Caraway’s containers are also microwave, oven, refrigerator, and freezer safe—and they’ve shown zero signs of wear and tear moving from one environment to another. It has become abundantly clear to me that this set is an investment for a reason: it’s built to last, keeps your food as fresh as possible, and serves multiple functions.
The Gold Standard of Food Storage: No Chemicals, No Clutter, and No Waste
All in all, this Food Storage Set does more for me than I could’ve ever imagined. It’s been a blessing to my health, my routine, and my wallet with how much leftover food it’s saving me. Add in the fact that having this set inspires me to meal prep more and I’ve probably made back all the money I spent on it.
From the 15x sold-out Cookware Set to the brilliant Food Storage, Caraway has clearly established itself as one of the best in the business and I’m so here for it. I can’t lie, I also love the Instagram flexes with these beautiful containers on my story. No shame. Caraway has free shipping, free returns, and a 30-day risk-free trial, so there’s no pressure if you don’t fall in love like I did.
