‘The perfect food storage finally exists’: I tried the new Anydeli plastic-free containers

Welcome to Worth It, where Filter editors spotlight one genuinely good discount on something we have tested and loved. We regularly filter endless sales so you don’t have to.

What’s the big deal? Anyday has offered our readers a 20% sitewide discount (not including its square dish containers) from now until 22 October with the code GUARDIAN20.

Emily Farris, a veteran food writer and kitchen product reviewer, tested these plastic-free containers, packing her kids’ school lunches, microwaving popcorn and steaming broccoli in them.

“If you’d like to streamline your food storage and cut back on dirty dishes while you’re at it, the Anydeli containers are absolutely worth the investment – and far superior to anything you’ll find at a restaurant supply store,” Farris writes.

The one caveat? While these can withstand temperatures up to 450F (232C), they aren’t suitable for the air fryer (instead, try Anyday’s glass containers).

Why you should trust our recommendations

We work for our readers, rather than the brands we write about. Every item we recommend is something a Filter editor or contributor has personally tested and can vouch for. On occasion, we may present a close substitute from the same brand and explain any differences from the original.

We scour competing retailers for the lowest prices on any item, and we use price-tracking tools such as Camelcamelcamel to check price history and ensure the discounts are truly good value, rather than a faux markdown. (So, while we love sharing good deals, we also aren’t afraid to call out the unimpressive ones.)

Our mission is to help you filter out junk products and buy fewer, better things.

At the Filter US, we test the products we recommend ourselves and never take your trust for granted. We also consider possible impacts on your health or the environment in our coverage and companies cannot purchase a spot in our product rankings because we are here to serve you, not corporations.

Our team is a part of the Guardian’s US editorial team and our journalists follow its strict ethical standards. Learn more about us here.
