Frequently asked questions about storing cooked food in food containers
Storage of cooked food in food containers with focus on glass and vacuum function
Regular food containers keeps food fresh for 3-4 days. With a glass lunch box with vacuum function, food can stay fresh for up to 5-7 days because the vacuum reduces oxygen exposure and slows down bacterial growth.
Cooked food in regular food containers should not be kept at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Vacuum-packed glass lunch boxes can protect food slightly longer, but it is still recommended to refrigerate food as soon as possible to avoid bacterial growth.
In regular food containers , the nutritional value can start to decrease already after a few days. Glass lunch boxes with vacuum function help maintain nutritional content for up to a week by reducing oxidation and preserving vitamins and minerals for longer.
Plastic lunch boxes can release chemicals when heated and affect the taste and nutritional content of food. Glass lunch boxes are chemical-free, do not affect the food and are more durable and environmentally friendly. With vacuum function, glass lunch boxes become even more efficient by extending the shelf life of food.
Ordinary plastic lunch boxes are often not oven safe and can deform in the microwave. Most glass lunch boxes are safe to use in both the microwave and oven, making them more versatile. However, vacuum lids or plastic lids must be removed before heating.
Regular food containers do not seal food as effectively. The vacuum feature in glass lunch boxes removes air, reduces acid exposure and extends the shelf life of food by slowing the growth of bacteria and mold. This creates an airtight seal that keeps food fresh for longer.
Regular food containers can allow food to be exposed to air and moisture, which negatively affects the taste. Vacuum storage in glass lunch boxes does not affect the taste of food.

Glass lunch boxes with vacuum function help preserve the nutritional value of your food, making them ideal for healthy food containers. They also prevent chemical spills that can happen with plastic boxes.
They are ideal for large-scale cooking as they can extend shelf life and preserve flavor and nutritional value. The vacuum function also reduces the risk of food spoiling or losing quality during storage.
