The built-in date indicator is the feature that separates this from every other container. Set it when you fill the container and you know exactly how long the contents have been there — which is the single most effective thing anyone can do to cut household food waste, because most food is thrown away on suspicion rather than evidence. Food-grade stainless steel is the right body material: it never stains from turmeric or tomato, holds no smell, and survives years of daily use where plastic clouds and warps. Leak-proof, so it travels. Three sizes — 2400ml, 3800ml and 5600ml — cover leftovers, batch cooking and bulk dry storage.

Buying guide
Set the date indicator every time you fill it, not just occasionally — the habit is what makes the feature useful. Cool food before sealing and refrigerating, since sealing hot food creates condensation inside. Steel cannot go in a microwave, so plan to transfer food to a plate for reheating. Check and clean the lid gasket regularly, as that is what fails first on any sealed container. Steel is safe in a dishwasher and does not retain flavours, so the same container can hold curry today and rice tomorrow.
How it compares
Against plastic containers, steel never stains, warps or holds odours, and lasts far longer — but it cannot be microwaved. Against glass, it is lighter and unbreakable. The date indicator is the genuine differentiator: very few containers of any material have one.
