minus-squareono@lemmy.caOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-210 months agoI started replacing my food storage containers with glass a few years ago. It’s not only safer, but also nicer looking and easier to clean. I didn’t want my old plastic to go in the waste stream, so I use it for overflow dry goods, hardware storage, and household cleaning tasks.

We’ve been using only cast iron and stainless steel for stovetop, glass and stainless steel for oven and mixing, glass and stainless for eating. Even the pets’ bowls are stainless steel.
