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 is both beneficial to you and 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, the material is significantly more resilient than plastic especially when there are frequent temperature changes. Plastic also is prone to staining and holding scents over time, causing great discomfort when needing to use. Glass may be the solution to this issue; however, glass is easily broken and is significantly heavier. Glass is also not a viable option for freezer storage.
Choosing Cuitisan stainless steel solves all of these issues, plus saves you money. Without needing to constantly replace products and constantly generate landfill waste by throwing out containers.
Versatility
It’s plain and simple – Cuitisan microwaveable stainless steel is unbeatable when it comes to different uses. We have another blog speaking about the variety of uses that one brand of container can have! Starting from airtight storage in the fridge, freezer, and pantry to baking and reheating in the microwave. Cuitisan’s reheating abilities make it great for meal preparation and long-term storage and there is no risk of warping with temperature changes.
Health and Safety
You may have heard that plastics may leech chemicals into food or beverages, just because it’s BPA free does not mean you should be heating and reheating daily! The safer choice being stainless steel as it’s more hygienic due to its material and can be sanitised and it is non-porous meaning liquids cannot enter and stay inside 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 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.
