A versatile storage solution does not have to be boring. Tupperware has created not only one of the most usable and versatile storage ranges, but arguably the most stylish storage solution on the market.  Clear Mates containers easily travel from the deli-counter to the fridge to the table, combining versatility with stylish presentation.

The Clear Mates range is comprised of square and rectangular containers, which when used together, form a modular storage system.  Additionally, the Pick-A-Deli and Pick-A-Deli Mini containers complement the Clear Mates range.

Featuring a glass-like finish, the crystal clear container base allows you to see the contents at a glance.  Easily identify the foods to hand in the fridge, and the items that require replenishment.  This is perfect for both the fridge and the pantry, assisting in the planning of family meals and grocery shopping.

The sheer seal not only adds a contemporary design element, but it is virtually liquid tight for secure transportation of foods.  Take the Clear Mates containers with you to the market and fill them directly at the deli counter, safe in the knowledge that oils and other liquids will be securely contained.  The corner seal tab assists with the safe removal of the seal.

The modular nature of the system is enhanced by the square markings on the top of each Seal.  The container bases fit snugly into the square markings on the Seal, for secure stacking of the containers in the fridge and pantry.  This secure stacking system is also perfect when transporting foods for picnics or for outdoor entertaining.  An example of the systems modularity is that 3 small rectangle containers will fit, side by side, on top of a large rectangular Seal, as will one square and 1 small rectangle container together.

Clear Mates containers are ideal for the storage of deli items, such as sun dried tomatoes, dips, coleslaw, cooked meats, cold cuts and cheeses.  Prepare vegetables and store them securely in preparation for quick summer salads, sandwiches and evening meal preparation.  Plan an entire evening meal in one go – store fresh pasta in a large container, the pasta sauce in a small container, and the meat or fish for the meal in a medium container – stacking them together for easy identification.

The Pick-A-Deli and Pick-A-Deli Mini products similarly feature a glass-like base and a sheer, liquid-tight seal.  The Pick-A-Deli range has been specifically created for storage of foods that require submersion in oil, vinegar, brine or other liquid.  Feta cheeses, olives, sun dried tomatoes, pickled onions, beetroot and fruits in syrup can all now be securely stored.  When access to the foods is required, simply pull up the internal compartment, raising the food out of the liquid, allowing the liquid to drain freely back into the container. A fork for secure removal of the food items is also provided as part of the larger Pick-A-Deli, ideal for picnics and away-from-home situations.

Effective fridge organization reduces food wastage, keeps the grocery budget in check, speeds up meal preparation and allows for variety in weekly meals.  Clear Mates is the natural solution to effective refrigerator organization.  You will quickly know what foods are available for use, as the crystal clear bases let you see the contents at a glance.

Finally, for those of us concerned with the environmental footprint we leave behind, the Clear Mates range is a sustainable solution.  85% of disposable packaging, plastic wrap and various other consumer goods end up in landfill.  We add to this every time we use cling wrap on leftovers in the fridge, or buy deli items in disposable containers. 

Two simple changes to your routine can make a big impact:

• Transferring left-overs into Clear Mates containers helps reduce your consumption of cling-wrap.
• Filling Clear Mates containers directly at the deli counter reduces your reliance on disposable containers.

With summer around the corner, now is the time to bring order to the fridge, and plan for quick, easy and stylish entertaining.
