Containers are key to staying organized, but not every container will work in every situation. Certain containers are better suited to the garage or attic, while others are more practical in the kitchen or bathroom. From plastic bins to stackable crates, here are some of the best storage containers available, and the best ways to use them around your home.
1. Blending Cup With Self
Blending cups are useful for blending ingredients and creating smoothies, but they also work well as storage containers. Rather than store them in your cupboard or on the counter, use them to store dry ingredients such as coffee grounds or sugar. The blending cup’s self-detecting lid will prevent spills and keep the contents fresh.
2. 48-ounce Stainless Steel Container
Stainless steel containers are a great option for storing liquids, especially when you want to keep them in their original box. They provide a secure and leak-proof lid that’s easy to open and close. For longer storage, you can set them flat in the freezer or refrigerator.
3. Blending Bowls With Self-detect
Blending bowls are the perfect storage containers for bulk ingredients that you plan on making into meals or snacks. They come in a variety of sizes, such as half-gallon, gallon, and three-quart.
4. Classic 64-ounce Container
This 64-ounce container is a great option for most types of storage and can also work as a mixing bowl. The self-detecting lid is always easy to open and close, and it can be put in the freezer or fridge to prevent spills.
5. 48-ounce Container
Vitamix’s 48-ounce container is a popular option for storing ingredients, creating smoothies, or making hot soups and purees. The container is compatible with all Standard Series Blendtec containers, blade cups, and dry grains.
6. Blending Cup And Bowl Starter Kit
The Vitamix Blending Cup and Bowl Starter Kit includes the 48-ounce container and a scoop. The multipurpose containers become a single-serve blender when you wash them out in the dishwasher, making them easy to clean and reuse.
7. 32-ounce Dry Grains Container
This 32-ounce dry grains container is a great option for storing and seasoning ingredients. It’s compatible with the 8-cup and 16-cup containers at home, but it can also work as a standalone container for nonfunctioning parts of the Original Series.
8. Aer™ Disc Container
Vitamix’s aer disc container is a new way to blend ingredients in your Vitamix. It features two chambers and an ergonomic handle that make it easy to blend, even when you’re standing. The included bowl is also compatible with blending cups and containers from the Standard Series Blendtec.
9. 32-ounce Container
Whether you need a food storage container for your college dorm or your own kitchen, the Vitamix 32-ounce container is a good addition to your life. It’s made from BPA-free plastic and it can be used in place of blending cups, much like the mixing bowl. You can also use it to mix your ingredients before pouring them into the blender or food processor.
You can use different containers for different functions, and you will find a container that just right for your needs.
