Conservation lids

Why use storage lids?

A good storage lid provides a protective barrier against air and moisture, preventing rapid food spoilage. They also make it easier to store your meals in the refrigerator or freezer without the need for plastic wrap or aluminum foil, for a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution.

The different types of storage lids and their advantages

• Stretchy silicone lids: Flexible and adjustable, they adapt to different sizes of bowls, plates or boxes for a perfect airtight seal.
• Airtight plastic or glass lids: Ideal for storage containers, they guarantee maximum sealing to prevent leaks and preserve flavors.
• Vacuum lids: Designed to maximize shelf life, they reduce food oxidation and retain their nutritional properties for longer.
• Flap or valve lids: Practical for liquids or sauces, they allow controlled pouring while maintaining a secure closure.
• Universal lids for pots and pans: Suitable for several diameters, they offer a practical solution for covering dishes without using cling film.

How to choose the ideal storage lid?

The choice of lid depends on the type of food being preserved and the container being used. For versatile use, stretchy silicone lids are ideal because they adapt to different sizes. If you want to preserve food for longer, opt for vacuum lids. For prepared meals stored in cans, choose airtight lids that prevent leaks and ensure optimal preservation.

Maintenance and durability of storage lids

To extend their lifespan, wash your lids after each use. Glass or plastic lids are generally dishwasher-safe, while silicone lids are easy to clean with warm, soapy water. Check the seals regularly and avoid extreme temperatures to maintain their effectiveness. With proper care, your storage lids will last a long time, preserving your food with ease.
