Tupperware cookware: features and model overview

Today, many housewives learn about such a culinary miracle as Tupperware dishes from TV advertisements or catalogs. But the company itself has for many decades adhered to the principle of trading through its own network of distributors. Direct sales make this product truly exclusive, give the buying process a certain kind of exclusivity. Many enthusiastic culinary experts around the world are ready to join this "closed club" today. What is the reason for the brand's success, and are its products worth the money requested for it?

The Tupperware cookware made of high-quality polymer materials, although it looks like its more affordable counterparts, still has striking differences from them. The country of origin - the USA, where the company is located - appreciated all its advantages 65 years ago. And since then, practically every home in America has had its own favorite containers, bowls, butter cans, cheesecakes and useful culinary devices from Tupperware. The company declares its mission to preserve the freshness of products for a longer time and to facilitate the processes of transporting or freezing ready-made food.

Manufacturing in the USA ensures the strictest quality control.

In Russia, the brand gives a guarantee for its products for up to 30 years, worldwide there is an unlimited warranty (such differences are associated with the specifics of legislation).Mandatory for study are special designations - they are present on the inserts in the packaging and the dishes themselves and determine the conditions and requirements for its operation.

Tupperware cookware is an innovative product that is constantly being improved. The brand regularly releases new collections and keeps on sale the hits of past years, allowing its fans to receive an equivalent replacement for their favorite things. Such continuity of generations is worth a lot, because it is for the versatility and convenience that buyers highly value the products of the American company. Premium plastic crockery is unique on the market and has yet to be replicated.

Considering the advantages of Tupperware brand products, it can be noted that residents of dozens of countries around the world have already appreciated its capabilities. Among the obvious advantages, the following are invariably mentioned.

• Chemical and biological neutrality of the polymers used. For the production of tableware, materials are selected that do not create a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria. The food inside does not oxidize, it retains its freshness longer.
• Warranty obligations. At least 30 years with a guarantee of replacement for a similar product is a good argument in favor of buying utensils for the home. However, the buyer is more likely to get bored with the design than the product will fail.
• Series of products for different temperature conditions. "Classic" for cold dishes can withstand heating up to +85 degrees. MicroCook is designed for use in the range from -25 to +200 degrees. Silicone molds have a maximum heating range of 20 degrees higher. UltraPro can withstand the highest temperatures. The heat-resistant plastic of Tupperware products has already made an impression on customers and continues to prove its uniqueness.
• Exclusive design. Beautiful dishes made of polymer materials are a rarity. But the American company pays as much attention to product design as to its quality. As a result, it is the beauty and ergonomics that buyers note among the main arguments in favor of buying this product.
• The safety of Tupperware smart cookware. It is difficult to break it - unless after freezing. Plastic is harmless to children, it retains its original properties even when heated.
• Convenience of storage. Most of the products can be easily folded according to the "matryoshka" principle - into each other - and does not take up much space.
• Vacuum flexible lids that are moisture and air tight. It is thanks to their presence that containers and bowls become the optimal choice for packing ready-made meals with you: to school, to work, on a trip.

There are also disadvantages. The first and foremost of them is the high cost, which makes the brand's products not too affordable for most buyers. Of course, if you consider the acquisition as an investment with a long-term perspective, the benefits can be traced. But not every housewife decides to just shell out a lot of money for good quality plastic.

One more point - not very convenient solutions in some series. For example, jugs made of hard transparent plastic or small culinary devices (measuring spoons, gherkin forks) often sit idle on the shelves. The disadvantages include the requirements for the care of products. Failure to comply with them will void the warranty, and the products themselves may well receive damage incompatible with further use.

When used correctly, Tupperware cookware turns out to be practically eternal - it does not lose its strength and practicality, and retains an attractive appearance. But some points require special attention. In particular, containers and other products used in the preparation, storage of brightly colored foods may change their color... Most often, this process is reversible, and over time, the spots disappear under the influence of sunlight.

But if you want to avoid such a manifestation, you should be careful when choosing and using brand products when storing carrots, beets in boiled, grated form, spinach, blueberries and cherries, cranberries. The presence of acid in the product further increases the risk of surface staining.

Unless otherwise labeled, Tupperware dishes can be hand washed or dishwasher safe. Products with embedded filters or inserts often require extremely delicate handling. The first thing worth studying is the manufacturer's instructions and markings on the product itself.

When choosing detergents, preference should be given to chemically neutral or organic products - the safest and highest quality. After surface treatment, the dishes are thoroughly rinsed. Dry cleaning and removal of surface contamination can be done with microfiber cloths. They are quite soft, absorb well and remove dirt.

Flexible plastic can withstand even significant loads. But products made of solid polymer, especially when cooled, can become brittle. The dishes should be kept away from sources of open fire, protected from drops and mechanical impact.

Before first use, all Tupperware products are recommended to be washed and dried according to the manufacturer's requirements. Unopened containers or containers without contents should not be sent for storage. Exposure to direct sunlight over time can fade bright plastic parts. At the same time, the dishes do not lose their consumer properties.

Do not store cheeses, sausages, bread, smoked delicacies in containers and containers with sealed lids. When sending vegetables and fruits to the refrigerator, they are not washed. To accommodate such perishable goods, Tupperware has a "smart refrigerator" - a special container that creates the right environment inside.

When using metal dishes, it is worth considering the peculiarities of its design. The thick bottom gives a languishing effect, but heats up longer. Accordingly, food can be brought to readiness when the stove is switched off.

When copper metal products darken, lemon juice helps to restore them to their original appearance.

The dishes produced by the Tupperware brand cause rather conflicting reviews, but the overall impression of the hostesses can be called rather positive. At least 80% of users are ready to recommend it to their friends. In addition, there is a wide variety of design and execution options. Tupperware cookware is mainly purchased for home use, although it is popular among culinary professionals as well.

Customers consider aesthetics and innovation to be one of the main criteria for choosing the products of a world famous brand. The company develops more than just plastic dishes - it gives its customers the feeling of belonging to a "closed club" of good housewives. Among other advantages of dishes, it is customary to note the versatility of lids of one shape - when buying a large number of containers, the problem of replacement is solved by itself.
