Review of Anydeli Plastic-Free Containers
The Anydeli plastic-free containers have recently been released by Anyday, a brand known for its glass food storage system. After testing these silicone containers at home for several weeks, they have proven to be endlessly versatile, lightweight, and durable. These features make them ideal for everyday food storage, including sending meals in kids’ lunchboxes without concern.
Design and Material
Anydeli containers are made from premium food-grade platinum silicone, a flexible and durable alternative to plastic. This material is safe for use in the oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer. It is also recyclable. The containers come in three sizes—1 cup, 2 cups, and 4 cups—and four semi-transparent colors: green, blue, purple, and white.
The containers feature vented lids with a silicone tab that can be opened to allow steam to escape during reheating. This design helps maintain the texture of reheated food, such as leftovers and steamed vegetables. The lids create a leak-proof seal and are easy to put on and remove, even for children.
Functionality and Use
- Microwave and Oven Safe: The containers are oven safe up to 232.2°C (450°F) and microwave safe with vented lids for reheating.
- Durability: Unlike glass containers, these silicone containers are lightweight and shatterproof, making them safer for children’s use and everyday handling.
- Measurement Indicators: Each container has measurement markings in quarter-cup increments, useful for meal prep and mixing dressings.
- Versatility: Suitable for storing, reheating, and even cooking food, such as steaming frozen broccoli or making microwave popcorn.
- Dishwasher Safe: All parts, including the vent plug, are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
One limitation is that the silicone containers are not recommended for use in air fryers, unlike the brand’s glass containers which can withstand higher temperatures.
Conclusion
The Anydeli plastic-free containers offer a practical and sustainable solution for food storage. Their combination of durability, versatility, and user-friendly features makes them a strong alternative to traditional plastic or glass containers. They are especially suitable for families looking for safe, reusable, and environmentally friendly food storage options.
