STAINLESS STEEL = ZERO PLASTIC REGRET

Why our bowls and containers are prettier—and better—for the planet

There was a time I had a drawer full of mismatched plastic lids and warped containers that smelled vaguely like yesterday’s curry. Now? I’ve swapped them for a tidy, shiny set of stainless steel bowls and containers—and I’m never looking back.

These beauties don’t stain, don’t absorb smells, and definitely don’t leach nasties when they get hot. I use them for leftovers, lunchboxes, and for the bowls, marinating meat (yes, even sambal stingray marinade). And because they’re reusable for years, they’re kinder to the planet too.

In a city like Singapore where we’re always trying to cut down on disposables, this little change feels good. No more takeaway tubs with missing lids or single-use plastic clamshells. Just clean, modern bowls and containers that actually spark joy when I open the cabinet.

Also: they make your fridge and pantry look like an Instagram feed. You’re welcome.

SAY GOODBYE TO SOGGY VEGGIES

How vacuum-sealed freezer bags rescued my produce drawer

We all know that sad moment when your chye sim turns into mush or your half-used salad mix goes brown and weepy. I used to waste so much veg it made me cringe. But since I started vacuum-sealing my greens, I haven’t tossed out a single soggy leaf.

It’s simple: prep your veggies (wash, dry, chop if you like), then pack them into vacuum-sealed bags. For leafy greens like spinach, I do a quick dry with a tea towel before sealing. For heartier ones like carrots or broccoli, I blanch and freeze. With no air inside the bag, they stay fresher, crisper, and less prone to frostbite.

This trick’s especially handy for Asian veg like kangkong and bok choy, which don’t always freeze well the traditional way. Sealed properly, they last longer and still stir-fry like a dream. And don’t get me started on herbs—no more slimy coriander stuck to the back of the fridge!

Bonus: you free up space in the veggie drawer. More room for Yakult and tofu, lah!

5-MINUTE FRIDGE MAKEOVER USING STAINLESS STEEL CONTAINERS

Organise your fridge like a fresh food queen

If your fridge currently looks like a crime scene of half-used sauces and limp greens, you’re not alone. But what if we told you a 5-minute tidy-up could make your fridge look cleaner, cooler, and more functional—just by swapping out the chaos for sleek, stackable stainless steel containers?

Here’s the magic: stainless steel isn’t just pretty (though, yes, it’s totally pantry goals). It chills faster, stays cooler, and doesn’t absorb food smells. So you can pop your cut fruit, leftovers, or meal-prepped lunches in, and it’ll all stay fresher for longer. Plus, they stack like a dream—no more toppling towers of plastic tubs when you open the door.

Start simple: clear one fridge shelf, wipe it down (we love a quick lemon + bicarb wipe), and pop in a row of matching stainless steel containers. Label the lids with a whiteboard marker or washi tape for that Pinterest-worthy look. In under five minutes, you’ll feel like you’ve upgraded your whole kitchen.

This one small change helps you see what’s inside at a glance, reduces food waste (no more “mystery container roulette”), and adds a sense of calm every time you open the door. It’s fridge feng shui—and honestly, it sparks joy.

WHY STAINLESS STEEL?

Durable and Long-Lasting

Stainless steel is highly resistant to dents, scratches, and corrosion, ensuring it remains in excellent condition for years of regular use.

Non-Toxic and Food-Safe

Unlike plastic, stainless steel does not leach harmful chemicals into food, even when exposed to heat or acidic ingredients, ensuring safe and healthy storage.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Stainless steel is fully recyclable and reusable, making it a sustainable choice that helps reduce reliance on single-use plastics.

Resistant to Odours and Stains

Unlike plastic or glass, stainless steel does not absorb food odours, stains, or flavours, keeping your food fresh and unaffected.

Lightweight and Portable

Compared to glass, stainless steel is lighter and equally robust, making it ideal for bringing it on the go without the risk of breakage.
