Add more class to the kitchen with glass

Renowned Iron Chef Mario Betali says, “The kitchen really is the castle itself. This is where we spend our happiest moments and where we find the joy of being a family”. The kitchen is a place where we carry on family traditions. It is where families gather to share stories, and where meals are prepared to bring nourishment. Most people strive to keep a clean, updated and functional kitchen. There are many accessories that can aid in maintaining the integrity of your home’s heart, and one way of doing this is by implementing Glass Bottles into the design and functionality of your kitchen.

Why glass equates more flavor and class 

Plastic bottles and storage containers are fine and serve good purposes, but when it comes to certain considerations, glass is the way to go. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, having glass bottles to display your spices and oils just looks classier than having plastic sitting around. Furthermore, when it comes to storage, glass is actually a better option for maintaining your food’s flavor. In an article published by Copywriter’s Kitchen, the author states that food (specifically milk and marinara) tastes better when kept in class versus plastic. The article insists that glass storage offers a fresher, cleaner and fuller-flavored taste. This makes total sense, as contact between food molecules and chemicals from plastics can affect the food’s texture, flavor, and its shelf life. Plastic containers are great options for transporting meals from one place to another, such as to work or school, but for prolonged storage, glass is the better option.
Glass bottles also better preserve the flavor of spices, versus keeping them in plastic containers. Do you ever see high-quality spices sold in plastic containers at the store? Almost all high-quality spice manufacturers use tin or glass. Coffee, oils and tealeaves are also best preserved in glass bottles or jars, and should be stored in cool, dry places.

Go green and stay clean

Opting for glass over plastic significantly reduces landfill. In addition, it cuts back on energy that is used in plastic recycling plants. Also, if you break a glass container you can recycle it with a green conscious. Quite simply, manufacturing efforts with recycled glass uses 40 percent less energy than with plastic. And to sweeten the green pot even more, 80 percent of all recycled glass can be reused. Finally, no toxins are produced in its manufacturing. At the end of the day, glass is really a better alternative than plastic when it comes to trying to protect our planet.

Have you ever washed a plastic container that you kept chicken Parmesan in, or marinated vegetables in olive oil? We all know how plastic can become discolored and stained from use. Glass is simply cleaner than plastic, as it has a non-porous surface that doesn’t absorb food and germs. Furthermore, it can be washed in your dishwasher’s high temperature setting, whereas plastic will warp and cause a mess.

The choice is clear
