Adjustable Silicone Lids: Preserve Your Food the Right Way

Why use silicone Snap-On caps for food preservation?

Silicone Snap-On lids have many advantages over regular disposable lids. Come and discover some of them!

First of all, they allow food to be preserved in a sustainable way. Because they are reusable, you avoid the use of single-use plastics and help the planet.

They create a vacuum seal effect which allows food to be kept in good condition for longer and consequently helps to reduce food waste.

Along with the last point, proper preservation prevents the proliferation of bacteria and the contamination of other foods, which is possible with these lids.

Lékué's reusable extendable lids are made of platinum silicone, a safe, resistant and plastic-free material that can be used with a wide range of foods. Here are some of them:

Fruits: the reusable lids can be used on any kind of fruit to prevent its oxidation and loss of color and texture.

Salads: if you have prepared a salad and want to preserve it, you can put a silicone lid on it and it will last the night or even the next day, as long as you keep it refrigerated.

Containers and leftovers: you can cover plates, bowls... ideal for leftover dishes.

How do I store food correctly?

Storing food incorrectly can alter its quality. To avoid food spoilage, it is important to follow some food handling tips to ensure that your dishes are kept in perfect conditions. See how easy they are to follow!

First, it is important to make sure that both your hands and the utensils you will be using are clean before touching the food you want to preserve. Next always look for a silicone lid the size of the food so that the seal is airtight. Lastly, keep the refrigerator clean and tidy.

How can you organize the refrigerator according to the food you are going to store?


Each food needs a different level of refrigeration, so it is important that you know which parts of the refrigerator are the coldest. This will help you to better preserve the food in the refrigerator.

Starting with the door: This is the least cold part of the refrigerator. This is where you can store eggs, liquids, butter, milk, juices, or jam. The top: Along with the door, this is also the least cold part of the refrigerator, here you can put salads, open canned goods, and, in general, food that doesn't need much refrigeration.

The central area is ideal to store yogurts, cheese or prepared foods, such as a Tupperware with rice or a roast. Moving on to the bottom or first drawer: this is the coldest part of the refrigerator and is ideal for raw ingredients such as meat or fish.

Fruit and vegetable drawer: Keep in mind that fruit does not need to be refrigerated unless you want to eat it cold. Tropical fruits such as avocados and bananas should never be refrigerated, as the low temperatures prevent them from maturating properly and make them hard and tasteless.
