You might be a professional chef managing a restaurant kitchen or just an amateur with a passion for cooking, but either way, how you store your foodstuffs is important.

Finding the right storage solution isn’t always easy. Many brands offer storage containers, but the quality isn’t always assured. Inferior containers aren’t always airtight leading to food waste and financial losses. Design is also an issue. When containers are developed without the end-user in mind, they can be difficult to access causing frustration and interruption to kitchen workflow. Finally, those who prefer a cohesive look to their kitchen often discover that product ranges are limited, leading to a mismatched collection of containers that quickly make areas look untidy.

Fortunately, the OXO brand provides an ideal answer to all these problems with its dedicated range of Pop Storage containers. Since it launched 30 years ago with a non-slip grip vegetable peeler, OXO has gone from strength to strength creating world-class cooking equipment including storage containers. In the next sections, we’ll explore OXO Pop storage containers so you can uncover the many advantages they offer when deployed to store your ingredients.

Keeping food fresh

Many people mistakenly believe that spending less on the containers they keep food in, will save them money. While kitchen storage boxes can be picked up at discount stores for a few pounds, such a solution is a false economy. Poor quality plastic storage containers are rarely airtight. As a result, ingredients like chilli peppers, garlic or spices can’t stay fresh and cereals, crackers and other dry goods quickly lose their crunch.

OXO Pop storage containers use an innovative design that ensures an airtight seal. By pushing down the button on the container lid, a seal is activated locking in the freshness. By pressing the button once more, the seal is released, and the ingredients can be accessed. Additionally, this button doubles as a handle making the container easily portable.

Space is essential

From smaller home cooking areas to cramped kitchens in cafes and restaurants, space can come at a premium. A constant complaint of many kitchen users is the lack of room to keep foodstuffs, and while this includes cupboards space it’s an issue that extends to containers too. The OXO Pop storage container range features streamlined and compact products, perfectly designed to take up a small footprint in kitchens. Consequently, those with limited room for their stocks can make the most of available space and enjoy plenty of room for their ingredients.

Having the right-sized containers for different food products can also save space. Large storage containers aren’t suited to small amounts of food and can unnecessarily waste space. At the other end of the scale, using multiple containers to store one ingredient that you keep a large stock of, can be confusing for inventory.

Considerately the OXO Pop storage container range provides a diverse range of options in all different shapes and sizes. Additionally, with one brand of containers in use, your kitchen will look neater with a single style in play.

Design-led kitchen products

OXO’s product designs have always been built for a purpose. The company was founded by Sam Farber when his wife’s mild arthritis led him to design an alternative to the traditional metal vegetable peeler. The storage containers in the OXO Pop range are no different. Many containers available today can be tricky to get into. In a fast-paced environment like a professional kitchen, any delay can add seconds to service time damaging customer satisfaction. At home being unable to access ingredients can be equally irksome.

OXO Pop containers are exceptionally easy to open and to close while keeping the food inside fresh with an airtight seal, as mentioned earlier. Cooks and chefs should never need to choose between accessibility and freshness and by selecting these exceptionally well-designed containers no compromise is necessary.
