1. Be careful with the microwave.

Yes, we know. But this quick-cooking machine could damage plastic containers that are not as "microwaves". Sharon Franke, director of kitchen appliances and Technology Laboratory of the Good Housekeeping Institute, says: "It is very likely that the plastic containers degrade or be pitted in ketchup microwave or a high content foods are used, fat".

2. And beware of the dishwasher, too.

Check the labels! Has just its container plates if your manufacturer says it "dishwasher" - to stand not all of them produce heat. "There is a possibility that after the cleaning of the containers in the dishwasher, the eyelids do not close properly," says Carolyn Forte, director of the Laboratory for clean Good Housekeeping Institute.

3. If you run through the dishwasher, keep the upper compartment.

Make sure your pieces are safe before the load set on the top shelf. "If the pieces fall, could communicate with the heating and melting," says Forte.

4. avoid stains on the first jet spray.

Spaghetti with meatballs last night turned the orange container? They were to see it, that. Strong recommends spraying a thin layer of cooking oil in its container to create a layer between the food and plastic. This helps to keep your container without blemish, even if you diet as transferable (* cough * * cough * tomato sauce) to save.

5. Since contaminated? Soak containers in a bleach solution.

Strong recommended a tablespoon of liquid chlorine bleach to combine per cup of warm water, then pour the solution directly into the container, ensure that you have enough to cover all the faded plastic. Soak for 30 minutes, then rinse the container with warm water and soap. And because it bleaches, make sure that you wash, rinse, rinse.

6. Always make a quick rinse the empty container.

To immediately eliminate foods and juices that stuck on the sides, it will help to remove odors and stains as soon as possible. In an ideal world, you should wash the containers with hot, soapy water then, but to take what we can get.

7. Zap odors with baking soda.

Keep containers and stinking with this abrasive, but gentle, natural deodorant. Only use a clean sponge wipe sprinkled with baking soda and wash before use.

8. If you make you feel even a regular hit.

Things that one (albeit poorly) Clean container with newspaper, then put the lid. Allow it to sit for a day or two to allow the paper does not absorb odors. Then wash the container with warm water and soap before storing more food in it and throw the paper.

9, admit when it's time for some new.

After all, these plastic storage devices are not meant to last forever. Once you are no longer functional (ie: the lid is not placed in the background or is distorted). Or incredibly stained, investment in new containers Here are some lab tested our GH Institute recommends.

"I'm not here to change the view," he said, his knowledge spreads through the class. "I want to think about the people something."

If someone finishes reading labels more carefully, which is satisfactory, he said.
