These kitchen storage tools are designed to serve a variety of different purposes, like heating, cooling, ensuring the freshness of fruits and vegetables or keeping the temptation of dipping into the sweets jar at bay. Whether you're packing away a week's worth of meals, or looking for smart solutions to transporting your lunch to and from work or school, these food storage container designs provide tons of inspiration on how to maximize the space in your fridge and keep your food tasting as fresh as the day it was first made.
