Find answers to common questions about our recipes.
What type of storage containers are best for meal prep?
Glass containers with airtight lids are ideal for meal prep as they're durable, don't retain stains or odors, are microwave-safe, and allow you to see the contents clearly. BPA-free plastic containers are also good options for lighter transport.
How long do meals stay fresh in storage containers?
Properly stored meals typically stay fresh for 3-5 days in the refrigerator when using airtight containers. Always check for signs of spoilage and follow food safety guidelines for specific ingredients.
Are plastic storage containers safe for healthy food storage?
Look for BPA-free plastic containers rated for food storage. While glass is generally preferred for hot foods and reheating, high-quality plastic containers are safe for cold storage and are more portable for healthy meals on the go.
