Food Storage: Eliminating Plastics

With all of the news over the past few years about the dangers of BPA and melamine, I have switched over to storing almost all of my food (dry ingredients, refrigerated ingredients, and leftovers) in glass canning jars of various sizes. Larger leftovers, like a partial lasanga, get stored in glass casserole dishes of assorted sizes.

I can use my foodsaver (with the jar sealer attachment) to seal ingredients like dry beans for long term cupboard storage, and items like leftovers headed for the freezer.
