Stainless Steel Food Storage: The Smart Alternative for a Healthier Ho

It’s no secret that we’re a little storage-obsessed over here at Seed & Sprout HQ. And after years of designing and testing plastic-free solutions for the kitchen, we’ve landed on what we think is the smartest storage swap yet: stainless steel.

Our team wanted to create something that ticked every box - beautiful, durable, safe, and sustainable. And we’re so proud to introduce the latest additions to our kitchen range: Rectangle Stainless Steel and Glass Containers, Small Mixing Bowl Set and Easy Pour Mixing Bowl Set.

Whether you’re a Sunday meal prepper or a weekday lunchbox hustler, these pieces are built to make food storage simple, safe, and seriously good-looking.

Why Stainless Steel?

We get asked this a lot: why stainless steel over plastic?

Here’s the short version:

It’s low-tox and food safe. No BPA, phthalates, or chemical nasties leaching into your food.
It’s built to last. No cracking, staining, or warping.
It’s endlessly reusable and 100% recyclable. Meaning less waste in your home - and in landfill.

Basically, it’s the kind of material that does the job, holds up over time, and actually looks good on your shelf.

Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls

These bowls were designed by our team who were sick of bowls sliding around the bench mid-mix or having to transfer leftovers into another container. Not anymore.

Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls | 3pk

The everyday set, sized at 1.5L, 2.5L and 4.5L for whatever's on the bench that day
Glass and silicone lids so it can go from mixing to fridge without a transfer
Nests down small when empty and stacks just as neatly with lids on
Doubles as a serving bowl when the brushed steel finish is doing the aesthetic heavy lifting

Small Mixing Bowl Set

Brushed stainless steel with a 700ml and 1L duo, perfect for sauces, dressings and smaller batches
Anti-slip silicone base so nothing skids around mid-stir
Glass and silicone lids so the same bowl that mixed it can go straight in the fridge
Etched measurement lines inside for easy, no-guesswork prep

Easy Pour Mixing Bowl Set

A 1.5L, 3L and 5L trio built for the bigger jobs, from batch cooking to weekend baking
Anti-slip silicone base and a pointed pouring edge for a clean pour, no drips down the side
Wide handle for a proper grip when a bowl's full and heavy
Nests down small when you're done, so it doesn't hog the cupboard

Small, medium or go-big, there's a stainless option for whatever's happening in the kitchen that day. All brushed steel, no plastic in sight, and built to outlast the recipe.

Rectangle Stainless Steel and Glass Containers

The workhorses of the fridge. These see everything from roasted veg to weekend leftovers to the lunch you swore you'd pack the night before.

Stainless steel base with a glass lid, so you can see what's inside without playing container roulette
Nest neatly together when empty, taking up barely any shelf space
Fridge, freezer and microwave friendly (lid off for the microwave), and built to outlast whatever's currently in your cupboard

Once they're in rotation, the mismatched plastic tub graveyard starts looking a bit sad by comparison.

It’s About More Than Storage

For us, choosing stainless steel isn’t just about good design - it’s about better living. These are products made to last, reduce waste, and support your low-tox lifestyle.

Every time you reach for one of these instead of plastic, you’re making a conscious choice - for your health, your home, and the planet.
