I am a Tupperware fan. I’ve had my modular containers for 20+ years and they still look great! Thanks for the comparisons you showed us.
Are they dishwasher compatible? That’s a big thing for me!
But they have been proven to be toxic and leech chemicals into food. Tupperware changed their products in 2010 because they were so bad.
I agree the Oxo containers are not air tight. I thought maybe I had defective ones. I wish a glass company would make air tight modular storage containers for flour, sugar etc. I’ve only seen round ones and they take up too much space in the cabinet/pantry. Thanks for the video!
I bought glass jars at the container store 25 years ago. I just looked them up and was surprised they still sell them. They're heavy and kind of pricey but the quality is good and they are air tight.
Anchor Hocking Stackable Square Glass Canisters
I'm going away from plastic. It's a trip, but after I found out about the way they make them I'm committing to glass which is rough and budget and designs are limited. But I definitely agree with you on all of it
Functional and durable (lead free) glass would be ideal at a good price point.
I started buying Tupperware Modular Mates when they originally came on the market, which was 30+ years ago, and I have many of the originals. Tupperware has an awesome warranty, and has replaced a couple of cracked lids for me over the years. I even took my modular mates with me when we moved to a different country - they work great as protection for fragile items in a suitcase!
I have been using Tupperware Modular Mates for 28 years. All my baking things as well as pasta, rice, crackers, oatmeal and such is in Tupperware. Stacks and fits well, keeps things fresh and also if you happen to get a product that had food weevils, they won’t infest your entire pantry! That happened to me and what made me purchase Modular Mates and decant everything.
I use Lock n Lock containers. They sell them on QVC and have various sizes, colors and sets. Everything is airtight.
I use (had to order from Amazon) rubber made. It works just like Tupperware. It nests and a whole bag of flour does fit! And my kitchen color is red, so the lids all match! Bonus!
I've always been partial to Rubbermaid too.
I have the older OXOs with the better lids. I think the lid change made a huge difference, reflecting some of the concerns you mentioned. The containers work well for me, and these are not long term storage. I cycle through the contents. Nothing has a chance to become unusable!
I Love my Tupperware! I bet I've had mine almost 30 years, they are still airtight, look great & they are modular!
I tried oxo containers but they don’t seal well. I love the home edit ones at Walmart.
I like the Rubbermaid Brilliance containers. They are clear like OXO but airtight. For specific baking canisters the Progressive set is the one I use. The only issue with this one is that the sugar only holds 4 pounds so I use a Rubbermaid Brilliance container for that.
Rubbermaid Brilliance are great for stacking, air tight and don't open if dropped
I have Tupperware modular mates from the 80’s. They aren’t completely opaque. They have a clear panel in the front and the back, so I can see what’s in them. Since they’re older, I do have a concern about BPA. I only keep wrapped food items like tea bags, or non food items like batteries in them. I like the Rubbermaid Brilliance containers too. They are also modular and airtight also, but I can’t always find the right size or shape.
I moved away from Tupperware Modular Mates because in the FLA climate, over time they start to smell (am guessing the softer plastic deteriorates), no matter how many times they're washed. That made me really sad. OXO does not smell at all. We go through our baking supplies quickly enough that things going stale isn't a risk :) I love the feel of the OXO containers, they are so soft (hard to describe). And I buy flour in bulk so I have a large rubbermaid container that stores the extra. I also use a lot of mason jars of quart, pint and half gallon sizes for things and plastic lids. Love the look and the feel of the jars in my pantry.
I have the same problem with the smell. I equate it to smelling like crayons. I've tried lemon, bleach, everything, but to no avail! And I love my Tupperware! Have had some for like 40 years!
@@lisapagliarulo5962yes, but like the really cheap and nasty crayons. Not all Tupperware suffers from it. I still have a modular mate containing our coffee beans and it does great, maybe the coffee bean smell is so strong it masks the crayon smell?!
I like the Rubbermaid cereal containers and the Lock and Lock pantry storage containers.
Thank you for the advice about the containers. I do have Tupperware storage containers. And did make the purchase of a set of the OXO brand and a few of my 'dislikes' is cleaning them, not all parts can be put in my dishwasher. Another 'dislike' is they are so bulky that I can hardly get a grip around the container to pick it up. Tupperware products have that problem too, but for the duration of storing things, Tupperware wins.
My ideal container would be glass - made without lead. I’ve used large mason jars for some storage, but have some of the Oxo containers. Haven’t had a problem with lids or foods going stale yet. Hopefully someone will make some good glass containers down the road.
I have RA and love OXO because of the ease of opening. Most containers I can’t open.
I agree! I have the Better Homes and Gardens version of the OXO ones. I haven’t fully tested them out yet but I do know they are easy on my hands.
I use large glass mason jar containers with the locking rubber sealed tops for all my baking ingredients like flours and sugars and smaller ones for cocoa, bread crumbs etc. I prefer glass instead of plastic.
I have gone to glass containers as well. Getting away from plastic
@tamishiga-price5233
Where did you purchase them, please?!
Hi Marlah I purchased them from The Superstore my grocery store.
@@tamishiga-price5233
Thank you!
@@tamishiga-price5233
Thank you!
I have a set of Tupperware that I assembled in the mid-1980s. (They are all ovals, as that was what was available back then.) They are still functional. I'll have to take a look at those big cubes. 😁
I place a layer of Saran wrap between the container and the top on my flour or sugar storage containers.
I have those Tupperware modular mates as well. Love them but I need to see what’s in them. I’ve started using mason jars with the flip lids. I’ve started turning away from plastics. But I still have the modular mates. ❤
Over the past year I’ve found that the Snap-tight containers are ideal.. But I’ve also used off of Amazon a brand called (Praki & Skroam) I’ve also used lock-tight.. And yes the OXO containers are not perfect but, if something doesn’t stored for over a year it works.. I hope this helps.
I actually currently sell Tupperware! (And started BECAUSE of the Modular Mates) I love how they have rectangular containers so they fill the entire space so things don't get stacked in front of them. Also the lifetime warranty is a biggie! Every once in awhile something cracks 🤷♀️But it's always guaranteed. I very much appreciate the review! I've wondered how well those containers worked! I love Oxo kitchen gadgets but never tried the containers because they only had squares.
Like you I love the Tupperware for it's practicality... Only thing I will use for my Flour and Sugar! What I don't like is the price. Price wise and very similar to Tupperware for practicality, but more affordable is the Rubbermaid storage containers. Might not be pretty, but anything can look pretty if it matches in my eyes.
It's the price for me too. Tupperware is my favorite storage container and I love the Modular Mates. I had a lot of different kinds and colors in the 80s. My friends were always having parties. I still use my cake boxes. When I tried other plastic storage containers, they smelled, and it never went away. That made my food smell. Does anyone else have that problem or have they changed them? Tupperware never smelled. ❤
Thank you for your honesty.
Great video. So thorough in your analysis!
I’m ordering the Tupperware today.
I have been using my Tupperware Modular Mates for over 40 years. I love the way they are numbered so you can easily have your row of containers the same height - 5 is the tallest container and a 2 stacked on a 3 equals the height of a 5. Makes ordering foolproof.
That's cool! I will have to look at these.
The oxo containers with black lids are good. They have the extra with clips to lock them on the side. They have a great seal on them. I love glass for storage though.
My oxo are like your home edit ones. Soooo good
I am also not a fan of the OXO containers. (But I love almost everything else OXO!) I found that the containers would crack or chip if I bumped our granite countertop. I need something that can stand up to being used, and not "just a pretty face" so to speak. I love the durability of Tupperware, but I really want to be able to see into the containers when they are closed. :/ Thanks for your tips! - Signed, Still Searching ;)
I not only have Tupperware but I used to sell it in the 80s - 00s. Those Modular Mates were always my best sellers. You can order the seals separately so some of the older colors are available. They keep them in case they break since they have a lifetime warranty on nearly all their products. I love the dark blue and that's how get more lids. Plus you can find so many of the MM containers in yard sales.
I love our OXO products., i have the older ones that has thicker lid. Only complaint for me is i do have to hand wash them.
Better Homes and Gardens has some containers at Walmart that is similar to OXO and worth looking at for frequently used countertop items. Sam's has some Tritan Member's Mark containers that seem similar to the Home Edit you showed but larger. The Home Edit and the Tritan both seem to be difficult to open and close. The Member's Mark has wasted modular, but some stacking. I think it was a good trade off on price/quality/availability. There was a quality control issues or something, though. Purchased 4 sets over time and consolidated what didn't work to return 1 of them and keep 3. Agree on not having open packaging--> bugs!!
The Member's Mark is online only and is $40 for 6 fairly large containers and 4 small ones-- dishwasher (not on super high temp) and freezer safe (read reviews). Supposedly excellent return policy. Every form of plastic has some health concerns associated. It's the time we live in, so keep that in mind and research. I wanted something that could be used in pantry or freezer and that I could see through. Don't know about complete air tight. They held water pretty good. Silicone? gasket.
Thanks for this review. It was helpful information. Found a few at a thrift sale & picked them up there since they're out of my budget too. I'd found the sizes not ideal for storage, but I haven't used them yet to put loose ingredients in. Glad to know about the seal not being air-tight. I'll still use them, but will use them differently than I might have otherwise.
I like glass containers with lids that have snap ons on all four sides to use with food products and leftovers. But my kids are all grown. I have a few plastic ones for laundry etc.
Oh yes Tupperware has been around for years . I agree changing the colors is what took me away from the Tupperware for many years . I have gotten a few new things as I am updated my kitchen 😃
Of the two you presented as alternates, I would prefer the Tupperware for the size and durability. HOWEVER, like someone else said, I want clear containers that I can see into. I do not like the opaqueness of Tupperware. Plus (like you), I would be annoyed if I couldn't have matching color lids!
I have been using Tupperware brand for decades. One positive you didn’t mention is the replacement guarantee. If any piece chips, cracks or splits under normal wear, it is replaced free of charge. If you melt a piece like a lid, you can get a replacement piece for just the cost of that piece also.
I had a lid come off and a big mess on the floor. I like THE ones but the larches on the lids break off with little use.
Clamp jars are my go to. I got my tall ones at Ikea. They sell them in different sizes. They are air tight.I do.have a few Tupperware which I use for flour
You need to be recruited onto the Oxo product testing team! This is really useful intel for them, I hope they appreciate that & make good use of your feedback 😊
…I agree totally about the Tupperware!!! I have over 50 Modular Mates in my cupboards, and LOVE them all! Search for a local Representative where you live. I have an amazing Rep!
Love Love Love my Tupperware products! 😉
I sold Tupperware 25 years ago an I still have pieces from then!!❤
I used to use Tupperware & was really pleased with them.
I wouldn’t use them now tho if they only had black lids, as I hate the colour black & find it really depressing.
Get in touch with a representative and see if they will order you new lids for your containers. If you do a few l (10 or so), they may be willing to sell you some of the light pink, dark blue, green or red seals.
@@tinaharding9044 Thank you for the tip.
I got a whole set from a friend what was downsizing for $10. Couldn’t turn that offer down. I only use them for items we use up quickly.
My other big negative with the THE containers at Walmart is I’ve had a TON of issues with the latches breaking off really easily. I bought all of mine at the same time so maybe it was an issue with that specific production of them, but I never bought any more after my initial stock up because of that issue, I didn’t want to throw any more money away 😭
Thank you for this video. Now I know the OXO containers aren't air tight. That's a deal breaker for me. I have been tempted to buy them. Not anymore! I will continue to use what I have even though they are too small for a bag of flour. At least they are air tight.
I wish you would've had at least one glass option. I don't use plasticware any longer due to health issues and really could use some fresh ideas. This video would be helpful to those who can use plastic.
Tupperware smells!
what is the brand that you like most.
I totally agree with you about oxo
Old Tupperware has BPA’s in the pieces.
Is that what makes them smelly after a while?
This was so helpful! Thank you!
We have had several of the oxo containers for corrode on the inside… and not from dishwasher.
I really like my plastic snap ware for baking supplies.
Glass containers would be best for storing food but hard to find and not always practical especially with small children.
Pretty expensive do try and pick up,on fb market place or op,shop. No longer sold in NZ, btw you need to keep,receipt for lifetime guarantee
Man if I knew how to get up with someone who could help me create some! Mine would have inset handle to grab so we can still have them modular and be able to grab the bigger ones with ease! And air tight! Easy open! All sizes! Everything fits together one way or another and a label compartment where washing it and getting it wet wouldn’t hurt it!!! ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE ACCESS TO HELP WITH THIS???? :)
i love oxo pop :)
Thank you.
I agree. Oxo is stupid expensive & I know they are not seal proof either. I so called sealed the container & lifted the lid right off.
By the way, I just went to the Walmart website and do not see the brand "Edit" or anything similar. Am I spelling it wrong or is it no longer available through them?
THE HOME EDIT
All of my snacks in various OXO get stale very quickly😡
I have some with better openers than the ones you have.
They are called Felli flip tite.
I have ONE OXO container that I purchased to keep my brown sugar in. Big MISTAKE! My brown sugar is now one big brick! Laura, what do you suggest I keep it in that will keep it moist and usable!? I'm so frustrated!!!
Hi Janice, put a slice of bread on top of the brown sugar and close the lid. Open 24 hours later and your brown sugar will be soft! Just toss the slice of bread out afterward.
@@user-po3jc2dr4r Thank you. I did try the bread and it was still hard as a rock! I also tried one of those little "clay" pieces that you soak in water before adding to the container. I think the OXO container is just not worth it. I'm hoping someone has used a container that is actually MADE for brown sugar! (but I truly appreciate your suggestion!!)
Oxo makes s brown sugar container with a clay stone in the lid - it's still a clump😢
@@ashlyefloyd Thanks. I haven't seen that. Not sure I want to try it......if it's anything like the one I have, I'll pass! 🙂
@@janicestovall5570 oh no! I'm sorry to hear it didn't work. I keep my brown sugar in a cheap container from the dollar store. I sure hope you find a solution.
I’ve dropped the Oxo containers and they cracked.
Definitely Tupperware, then IKEA.
