Your Wallet and Our Environment will Both Thank You
Here are some simple ways to save resources in the kitchen:1. Turn Yesterday's Leftovers into Today's Lunch
IKEA 365+ glassware containers are freezer, fridge and oven-safe. One container for every stage of storing and cooking also means less dishes and fewer runs for your dishwasher.
Plan meals ahead. Plan, shop, cook and prep for the whole week. You’ll save time and electricity by batch cooking and storing.
2. Store Your Foods Wisely in Refrigerator
The IKEA 365+ food storage box fits just right in your fridge. The transparent box body lets you see what remaining ingredients you have at a glance, which helps reduce waste caused by over-consumption.
Choose containers instead of plastic wrap. Food stays fresher for longer in a container compared to plastic wrap or foil. Small changes can bring big differences.
3. These Nifty Bags Keep Food Fresh and Packed with Flavour
The best-selling IKEA ISTAD food storage bag has the double-layer zipper design, which has better insulation and can preserve food longer.
So, you already have other plans for dinner, when you spot those past-their-prime veggies in the bottom fridge drawer. What to do, what to do?
It’s simple: don’t bin them. Instead, chop them up, put them in a resealable bag and freeze them. Their texture will change slightly after thawing, but they’ll still be great for sauces, soups, stews and even smoothies. And just as nutritious, too.

4. Make Food Go Further
Don’t bin excess fruit and vegetables, preserve it. Try making jams, pickles and chutneys. IKEA has a range of glass preserving jars to get you started.
5. Long-term Storage for Dry Foods
Store dry cereals, instant drink powder, or rice in food conatiners jars to avoid moisture. Our food containers keep a moisture barrier for dry goods, to help you preserve them longer.
