Now you CAN choose stainless steel over glass & plastic
Every day we are faced with endless options for food storage – from glass, hard plastic, bamboo and stainless steel – how can we ever decide? Considering materials and costs, let us simplify it for you. Keep reading!
Cuitisan is the world’s first microwaveable stainless-steel container that benefits both you and the earth. Stainless steel is proven to be one of the most durable, hygienic and sustainable materials, and now you can use it for baking, reheating and food storage!
Benefits of stainless steel over alternatives:
Durability and Longevity
Due to the nature of stainless steel, it is significantly more resilient than plastic, especially under frequent temperature changes. Plastic is also prone to staining and retaining odours over time, causing significant discomfort when using it. Glass may be the solution to this issue; however, it is easily broken and significantly heavier. Glass is also not a viable option for freezer storage.
Choosing Cuitisan stainless steel solves all these issues and saves you money. Without needing to constantly replace products and generate landfill waste by throwing out containers.
Versatility
It’s plain and simple – Cuitisan microwaveable stainless steel is unbeatable for a variety of uses. We have another blog post discussing the variety of uses one container brand can have! Starting from airtight storage in the fridge, freezer, and pantry to baking and reheating in the microwave. Cuitisan’s reheating capabilities make it ideal for meal preparation and long-term storage, and there is no risk of warping during temperature changes.
Health and Safety
You may have heard that plastics may leech chemicals into food or beverages. Just because it’s BPA-free doesn’t mean you should heat and reheat it daily! The safer choice is stainless steel, as it’s more hygienic due to its material, can be sanitised, and is non-porous, meaning liquids cannot enter or remain in the material. This also avoids scents and stains from forming on your container.
Sustainability
Stainless steel is 100% recyclable and due to its durable nature, the chances of being replaced is significantly lower than glass or plastic. The life cycle of stainless steel would be a lot better than that of plastic. The reduction of waste during manufacturing and landfill waste.
Temperature Retention
Cuitisan greatly benefits from stainless steel’s insulation properties as the microwave-safe chrome and nickel slowly heats before it evenly heats your food. The insulation will then keep your food hotter for longer and heated evenly unlike glass or plastic. When chilled, cold foods would stay crisper and fresher.
Maintenance and Cleanliness
Stainless steel is incredibly hygienic – it’s easy to clean and maintain. The surface can be sanitised properly if necessary, and does not hold odours or food particles due to its non-porous surface. This may be similar to glass, however the previously mentioned benefits of stainless steel like weight, durability, freezer/baking potential, and appeal make the stainless steel the winning choice.
Cost-Effectiveness
Although initial costs of stainless steel may be higher, the longevity and reliability of the product leads to greater savings in the long-term. Cuitisan containers do not warp with temperature changes (do not heat the lids and silicone).
Bonus: Aesthetic Appeal
Stainless steel has a modern, sleek and clean look that many people find visually appealing for kitchenware. These also fit nicely amongst stainless steel appliances and cookware. Cuitisan adds an extra layer of appeal with it’s ability to be used in ovens, microwaves and freezers.
