			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to storing food, glass containers have many benefits over plastic containers. Here are some of the reasons why you should you switch from plastic containers to a <a href="http://glassstoragecontainers.info/">glass storage container</a>.</p>
<p>1. Glass containers are non toxic and non reactive. They don&#8217;t interact with food that is stored in them when warmed up in the microwave. By comparison, plastic containers leach diethylhexyl adipate into food when heated, especially into fatty foods (so any dishes with meat in them). They also leach Biphesnol A (BPA), a substance that behaves like oestrogen, into any liquid food regardless of whether it has been warmed up. BPA has been linked to breast cancer and ovarian problems. Therefore glass storage containers are better for your health. If you have small children, then switching to glass becomes urgent.</p>
<p>2. Glass containers now come with fitted lids, which means that you can store them in the freezer and then remove the lid and microwave the contents when you are ready to eat. So if you cook in bulk for freezing, there is no need to use plastic containers any more.</p>
<p>3. Tempered glass containers do not warp, discolor or scratch. By contrast plastic containers develop scratches, and when heated become distorted and absorb stains from the food (because the food has reacted with the plastic).  If the food stored in the container is acidic (for example pickles), the acid will damage plastic containers, but glass containers will be undamaged. Unless you have butter fingers and drop your glass containers, they should stay in the pristine condition for years. (In any case the tempered glass used to make glass storage containers is tougher than traditional glass and much harder to break).</p>
<p>4. Glass storage bowls do not absorb smells from the food stored within them. Because glass is inert and non-reactive, smells from the food do not become attached to the glass. Whereas plastic containers usually start to smell, especially if you have stored foods cooked with curry spices or garlic in them.</p>
<p>5. Glass containers look high quality. Many top homeware designers like to work with glass, and as a result most glass containers are beautiful, stylish, and can be placed on display – for example, candy a <a href="http://glassstoragecontainers.info/tag/storage-jars/">glass storage jars</a>, or tall jars to store pasta. Plastic containers by contrast look cheap, and well, plasticky.</p>
<p>6. Glass containers are inexpensive. The cost is only fractionally more than plastic containers.</p>
<p>7. Glass containers are environmentally friendly. Glass is made from a natural substance, silica, which is found in sand. Plastic by contrast is an artificial derivative of the petroleum industry and does not break down and can take up to a millenium to break down in a landfill site.</p>
<p>So make the decision to change from plastic to glass containers today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to storing food, glass containers have many benefits over plastic containers. Here are some of the reasons why you should you switch from plastic containers to a <a href="http://glassstoragecontainers.info/">glass storage container</a>.</p>
<p>1. Glass containers are non toxic and non reactive. They don&#8217;t interact with food that is stored in them when warmed up in the microwave. By comparison, plastic containers leach diethylhexyl adipate into food when heated, especially into fatty foods (so any dishes with meat in them). They also leach Biphesnol A (BPA), a substance that behaves like oestrogen, into any liquid food regardless of whether it has been warmed up. BPA has been linked to breast cancer and ovarian problems. Therefore glass storage containers are better for your health. If you have small children, then switching to glass becomes urgent.</p>
<p>2. Glass containers now come with fitted lids, which means that you can store them in the freezer and then remove the lid and microwave the contents when you are ready to eat. So if you cook in bulk for freezing, there is no need to use plastic containers any more.</p>
<p>3. Tempered glass containers do not warp, discolor or scratch. By contrast plastic containers develop scratches, and when heated become distorted and absorb stains from the food (because the food has reacted with the plastic).  If the food stored in the container is acidic (for example pickles), the acid will damage plastic containers, but glass containers will be undamaged. Unless you have butter fingers and drop your glass containers, they should stay in the pristine condition for years. (In any case the tempered glass used to make glass storage containers is tougher than traditional glass and much harder to break).</p>
<p>4. Glass storage bowls do not absorb smells from the food stored within them. Because glass is inert and non-reactive, smells from the food do not become attached to the glass. Whereas plastic containers usually start to smell, especially if you have stored foods cooked with curry spices or garlic in them.</p>
<p>5. Glass containers look high quality. Many top homeware designers like to work with glass, and as a result most glass containers are beautiful, stylish, and can be placed on display – for example, candy a <a href="http://glassstoragecontainers.info/tag/storage-jars/">glass storage jars</a>, or tall jars to store pasta.
