Tupperware cookware: features and model overview

Today, many housewives will learn about such a culinary miracle as Tupperware utensils from TV ads or catalogs. But the company itself for many decades adheres to the principle of trading through its own network of distributors. Direct sales make this product truly exclusive, give the purchase process a certain selectivity. Many passionate chefs around the world are ready to join this “closed club” today. What is the reason for the success of the brand, and is its product worth the money requested for it?

Tupperware utensils made of high-quality polymeric materials, although reminiscent of outwardly more affordable analogues, still have 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, in almost every home in America, their favorite containers, bowls, nipples, cheese cakes and useful culinary devices from Tupperware have appeared. The company declares with its mission a longer preservation of the freshness of products and facilitation of the processes of transportation or freezing of finished food.

Production in the United States provides the most stringent quality control.

In Russia, the brand gives a guarantee on its products for a period of up to 30 years, an unlimited warranty is valid throughout the world (such differences are related to the peculiarities of the legislation).Special designations are required to study - they are present on the inserts in the package 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 hits from past years, allowing its fans to receive an equivalent replacement for their favorite things. Such a continuity of generations is worth a lot, because it is precisely for universality and convenience that customers highly value the products of an American company. Plastic dishes in the premium status is a unique phenomenon on the market, and so far no one has been able to repeat this success.

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

• Chemical and biological neutrality of the polymers used. For the production of dishes, materials are selected that do not create a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria. Food inside does not oxidize, retains freshness longer.
• Warranty At least 30 years with a guarantee of replacement for a similar product is a good argument in favor of buying dishes for the home. However, the buyer is more likely to get tired of the design than the product will fail.
• Series of products for different temperature conditions. "Classic" for cold dishes withstands heating up to +85 degrees. MikroKuk is intended for use in the range from −25 to +200 degrees. In silicone molds, the maximum heating range is 20 degrees higher. UltraPro withstands the highest temperature. The heat-resistant plastic of Tupperware products has already managed to impress customers and continues to confirm its uniqueness.
• Exclusive design. Beautiful dishes made of polymeric materials are a rarity. But the American company pays product design no less attention than its quality. As a result, it is the beauty and ergonomics that buyers note among the main arguments in favor of buying this product.
• Safety of “smart” utensils by Tupperware. It is difficult to break - except after freezing. Plastic is harmless to children, even when heated, retains its original properties.
• Convenience of storage. Most products can easily be folded according to the “nested doll” principle - into each other - and do not take up much space.
• Vacuum flexible covers that do not allow air and moisture to pass through. Thanks to their presence, containers and bowls become the best choice for packing ready-made meals with you: to school, to work, on a trip.

Deficiencies are also present. The first and main of them is the high cost, which makes the brand products not too affordable for most buyers. Of course, if we consider the acquisition as an investment with a long-term prospect, the benefit can be traced. But not every housewife decides to simply shell out a lot of money for good quality plastic.

Another point - not too convenient solutions in some series. For example, jugs made of hard transparent plastic or small culinary devices (measuring spoons, forks for gherkins) often just stand on shelves. The disadvantages include the requirements for the care of products. If they are not observed, the warranty disappears, and the products themselves may well be damaged, incompatible with further use.

What kind of cookware do fans of Tupperware smart products get? Among the brand’s products there are both legendary models that have been sold for decades, and new products that match the spirit of the times.

When used properly, Tupperware utensils turn out to be practically eternal - they do not lose their 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 products may change their color. Most often, this process is reversible, and over time, spots disappear under the influence of sunlight.

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

In the absence of additional designations, Tupperware can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Products with enclosed filters or inserts most often require extremely delicate handling. The first thing to learn 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 contaminants can be done with microfiber cloths. They are quite soft, well absorb and remove impurities.

Flexible plastic withstands even significant loads. But solid polymer products, especially when cooled, can become brittle. Dishes should be kept away from open flames, protected from falls and mechanical impact.

Before first use, it is recommended that all Tupperware products be washed and dried according to the manufacturer's requirements. Do not store closed containers or containers without contents for storage. Contact with direct sunlight over time can lead to fading of bright plastic parts. At the same time, the dishes do not lose their consumer properties.

Cheeses, cold meats, bread, smoked delicacies cannot be stored in containers and containers with tight lids. When sending vegetables and fruits to the refrigerator, they are not washed. To place such perishable products, Tupperware has a “smart refrigerator” - a special container that creates the right environment inside.

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

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

The dishes produced by the Tupperware brand cause quite controversial reviews, but the overall impression of the housewives can most likely be called positive. At least 80% of users are willing to recommend it to their friends. In addition, there is a wide variety of design and execution options. Tableware Tupperware is mainly purchased for home use, although it is used by culinary professionals.

One of the main criteria for choosing exactly the products of a world-famous brand, buyers consider aesthetics and innovation. The company is developing not just plastic dishes - it gives its customers a sense of belonging to the “closed club” of good housewives. Among the other advantages of utensils, it is customary to note the versatility of lids of one shape - when buying a large number of containers, the replacement problem is solved by itself.

Besides, good quality absolutely non-toxic plastic provides an opportunity for continuous use. According to customer reviews, the average life of containers, bowls and other products is about 10 years without loss of properties and presentation. Capacities are convenient to use on trips, almost all series are adapted to heat up to 200 degrees - plastic is heat-resistant. The only thing buyers regret is the high cost of Tupperware products.
