Another advantage of glass is that they come out perfectly clean in the dishwasher, no bent edges to catch water or pieces of food debris.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05760733574758883958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292734369805726323.post-72760450569291959272013-08-16T12:17:07.451-04:002013-08-16T12:17:07.451-04:00Because I'm always losing the lids to the reus...Because I'm always losing the lids to the reusable plastic ware,it's often not big enough for leftovers, and storing unused bags takes up a lot less space than storing reusable plastic or glassware.

Some of my stuff only makes sense to store in baggies because they will not fit well otherwise. <br /><br />Other things have to be stored in reusable containers which I run out of frequently. I tend to make too much food and then place it in the freezer.Melhttp://melsmarsh.comnoreply@blogger.com
