Visiting mom almost always means having delicious food all week, however, many times it also means carrying many Tupperware that may either be dangerous and not protect the food completely, or worse, they can get damaged or lost and cause you the worst affront with your mother.Not taking food would be much worse, so maybe it's time to consider practical and simple alternatives that do not involve spills or extra weight, but at the same time are a win for you and your mom.The solution is very simple and you probably already knew it, but you hadn't considered it for this purpose: resealable bags. If you've already used them to pack your sandwich or even your mother used them for your lunch, you need to try them for carrying your food, which will not only help you not lose mom's belongings, but will have several more benefits that we will break down below.You will keep the food fresh for longer. The seal on Ziploc bags -as you surely know them- prevents air from entering, so the food stays as if it were freshly served for a longer time.You will avoid spills. That recycled yogurt container never seals well and is unreliable if you store your portion of pork with gravy, but with a resealable bag you ensure that none of that delicious sauce escapes.You can separate the food into portions. If separating the food into portions from the start seemed unproductive with Tupperware, doing it in resealable bags is the complete opposite, as they are much easier to transport and you can easily locate the food.They are reusable. The plastic of Ziploc bags is very durable, so you can easily clean it and reuse it, plus it does not contain BPA, a chemical related to increased allergies and other diseases.Perfect for freezing food. By using a Ziploc bag, you ensure that your frozen food does not get freezer burn and best of all, it doesn't have a freezer smell.If you need more reasons to become a fan of Ziploc bags, then you should know that they are made with wind energy, not only do they help you transport your food more practically, but they also help you organize the fridge as you can easily identify their contents, and they are perfect for rationing the food for the week.Most likely, your mom also loves Ziploc bags, so try this way to avoid carrying or losing Tupperware without sacrificing the delicious food your mom shares with you the next time you go to her house or at any gathering that requires delicious food.
