LPT Bring empty food storage containers to family holiday meals If you’re going to a friend or relative’s house for a holiday meal, and are interested in bringing leftovers home with you or expect that leftovers will be foisted upon you, bring your own empty Tupperware/food storage containers to fill up and bring home. That way you don’t have to worry about taking the host’s container(s) home with you and re…

LPT When serving dinner, have storage containers out with the plates. Makes clean up easier. I like to put plates that I am filling next to single-serving sized leftover containers and then I load up each plate and each container at the same time. Then the pans can immediately be soaked and all utensils and other items can be put directly into the dishwasher. This allows for hot food to cool down a bit, so no one burns their tongue. I…

LPT: use syringes and blunt needles to refill sample size containers for travel

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: use syringes and blunt needles to refill sample size containers for travel I often get product samples from Sephora and the little tubes are awesome for travel, partly because they save space and partly because then you don’t have to put half your expensive product in a 3 ml travel bottle just to ensure you can get any of it out again. However the holes on the sample tubes are so tiny they’re impossible to refill. Ente…

LPT: Hand washing oily plastic tupperware or deli containers? Wipe it with a paper towel or napkin first

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: Hand washing oily plastic tupperware or deli containers? Wipe it with a paper towel or napkin first Haven’t seen this tip anywhere, but it’s one that I’ve figured out over the years hand washing dishes at home or at work. Before, I would just throw my oily tupperware and plastic deli containers into the sink and wonder why it took several passes of soapy water to remove stubborn grease spots from the container. What I think is happening is two…

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: Don’t put plastic storage containers like Tupperware, Rubbermaid or Gladware in the dishwasher If you hate the orange stains that come from red pasta sauces or chili, or green/yellow ones from pestos and curries, just hand wash your plastics. I don’t know if it’s the heat or the composition of the dishwasher soap, but I haven’t had a single stained container since I started keeping them out of the dishwasher. It might take a couple of swi…
