Food Storage & Containers
Glass and stainless steel containers for leftovers, meal prep, and fridge organization. Safer than plastic and easy to clean without holding smells or stains.
These are my go-to for leftovers and simple meal prep. Glass feels much safer than plastic, especially for reheating, and they don’t absorb smells or stains.

This jar is airtight and I store anything from cereal to nuts. I have about 10 of these at home. It also fits perfectly to my kitchen's aesthetic, which I love.
KORKEN Budget Glass Jars & Bottles with Lids
This is one of IKEA's bestseller and for a good eason. It's convenient for keeping filtered water or homemade drinks in the fridge without using plastic.

I love the minimalist design and the fact that it’s made from tempered glass. It comes in a pack of six, and I often use them when serving guests.
VARDAGEN Glass, clear glass, 15oz
A plate you never realize you need until you own one. It’s incredibly versatile and has quickly become the piece I use more than any other. I use it for soup, fried rice, even sandwiches. Truly versatile and I love it
