This 4-piece set of Status glass vacuum containers offers an excellent starting point for a new home food storage system. With container bowls made of hard-wearing borosilicate glass, these containers have been built to last and they benefit from being fully dishwasher, freezer and oven-safe for easy cleaning and lots of flexibility.
Through the use of either a manual or electric Status pump, these containers can hold an airtight vacuum. Storing foods in a vacuum environment is an ideal way to preserve them for longer, and Status’ testing has shown that their containers allow for foodstuffs to last up to 4 times longer before going off.
This increased freshness occurs as a result of oxygen being removed from the interior of the container. By removing oxygen, the conditions needed for bacteria growth are severely limited, heavily reducing the rate at which they can spoil foods, even notoriously dangerous ones such as fresh meat or fish.
For any storage system to be effective, it needs to be versatile. This set does a great job of offering a range of options to cover many situations and consists of the following containers:
Altogether, this combination of containers can be used for many roles ranging from storing fruits, vegetables or leftovers to being used on the go for work/school lunches or picnics.
For some added convenience, these containers feature a calendar storage date indicator. This date indicator helps to keep track of how long food inside a container has been stored or its use-by date. This is especially useful in family homes to ensure everyone knows when certain foods need to be eaten.
To ensure these containers can handle plenty of use, Status has manufactured the container bowls from borosilicate glass. Naturally, glass offers a superior level of durability over even the best of plastics and benefits from fantastic heat and scratch resistance. It is also nigh impossible to permanently discolour and will never absorb odour given off by food stored within it.
Of course, despite their numerous functions, the primary job of these containers is storage. Therefore, Status has designed them with practicality in mind. As a result, they are safe for use in a freezer and can be cleaned in a dishwasher. They are also fully microwave and oven-safe without a lid and can handle temperatures between -20°C and 300°C.
These containers have also been designed to be stacked on top of each other and, thanks to the raised valve ring, other similarly sized flat containers can easily stack on top of them too.
