OXO POP containers
Storage containers are an important part of any kitchen. At minimum they must safely protect food, but a great container will do much more. OXO's POP containers are exactly that. We recently replaced several glass storage jars with POP equivalents and couldn't be happier.
Our favorite attributes include:
- The airtight seal can be opened and closed with one hand
- Lid can be easily cleaned
- A square shape holds more volume than the more common round containers
- Sized with stacking in mind
Start with a couple of containers and we're sure you'll quickly expand out to a full set like we did. You can find these in some home stores, or do what we did and buy online. Amazon.com has the full lineup.

The back story about why I ended up replacing the glass containers is that I dropped one and got an extremely deep cut. Five stitches later and I have moved onto OXO POP. Besides not cutting my wrist, these containers are vastly superior for the reasons mentioned above.
