5 Best Food Storage Containers That Keep It Fresh

Almost completely made of clear plastic, the Oxo Pop containers make it easy to see what exactly is inside. When you push a button in the top, the lid is secured to the base with an airtight seal, so your food stays fresher, longer. Push the button again to release, and it also doubles (when up) as a handle. These are versatile, and the varying sizes can hold everything from flour, to pasta, to almonds. 

These Oggi containers offer a Pinterest-perfect look to your pantry shelf, and conveniently nest inside themselves for easy storage. While the two latches on the lids seal lids into place, we found they weren't effective at meeting their claim to be airtightness. These might be best for storing foods you go through fast, like cookies, candy, pretzels, and other snack foods. 

Keep your homemade (and store-bought) guac looking as good as day one with Casbella's Guac-Lock. It presses out all the air so you can avoid the dreaded browning and keep your dip fresher for longer. It's shatterproof, odor-proof, and stain-resistant, so it will hold up over time. 

If you're looking for glass containers that will keep food fresh for a long time, and that you can take on-the-go with you, Snapware's Total Solution Glass line proved completely airtight. Just keep in mind that the locking lids are plastic, so when you microwave, use plastic wrap or waxed paper as a barrier to avoid staining. The nestable design allows for easy storage.

With a glass base and durable plastic lids, the vibrant ClipFresh storage containers are oven-, microwave-, freezer- and dishwasher-safe. That means this set doubles up as bakeware, too. Just make sure you don't bake or microwave the lid!
