18/8 Stainless Steel Food Storage Containers with Silicone Lids

Important note on food storage containers

For food storage, I focus on materials first. I prefer nickel-free stainless steel, such as 18/0, but 18/8 stainless steel is also widely used for food storage. If you’re not nickel-sensitive, 18/8 can be a practical option for everyday use.

What I avoid in food storage

I avoid plastic containers for the main food-contact surface when possible, along with aluminum and any interior coatings. I also skip storage systems where materials aren’t clearly disclosed. For lids, I look for BPA-free options and avoid PVC or PUR.

Product description

These food storage containers are made from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel and designed for everyday tasks like meal prep, leftovers, and packed meals. The stainless steel body provides a durable alternative to plastic containers, while the silicone lids help create a secure seal for storage.

This style of container works well for anyone looking to limit plastic contact with food while still having a functional, reusable storage option.

What I like

I like that the container body is stainless steel and that the materials are clearly disclosed. The silicone lids are a practical option for sealing and storage without relying on a plastic container body.
