Caraway’s Storage Set Is Now on Sale—But There’s Only One Part Worth Buying

Leftovers are a serious game for many cooks from beginners to professionals, and so there are also some big opinions in the container game. There are lots of types of storage containers out there, from plastic to glass and more—even ceramic. 

Caraway has made a name for itself as a ceramic kitchenware brand, and its storage set boasts many of the features of its other products, including a non-stick and non-toxic surface, included cabinet organizers, and the same color choices. Perhaps most notable, though, is that, like the other products, the set was originally only sold with all 14 pieces. But just like you can get a 3-Quart Sauce Pan or a Rectangle Baking Pan by themselves, you now can purchase individual options in the storage set.

Between the Large, Medium, or Small Containers, and the snack- and dip-sized Dot & Dash Containers, the set is big. The company sent us one to test out, but what we found is part of it is more useful than the others...and you're in luck because it is on sale right now!

If you could only purchase one part of the set, which do we recommend?

The set was sent in the mail in packaging very similar to its other products (in hefty, recyclable cardboard). The organizer is a canvas material as opposed to ceramic, and the actual pieces are heavy and sturdy, including the tops for the Large, Medium, and Small containers which are made of ceramic and glass. 

After washing them with the included cleaning sponge and drying them, I arranged them in my (tiny) cabinet, and, thought it took a bit to organize everything because I have two other glass storage sets, much to my delight, the Caraway Storage Set fit perfectly. 

Over the next few weeks, I tested them for anything I needed—and found the Dash Containers to be my #1 favorite. These are not ceramic but plastic—and each one weighs 0.23 pounds, can hold up to 9 ounces of food or liquid, and is 5.63 inches long, 2.57 inches wide, and 1.85 inches deep.

I actually used one of the Dash Containers pretty soon after putting them away. The top of a 6-ounce carton of Greek yogurt ripped on my way home from the grocery store, so I scooped it into the long, deep storage container and there was room to spare. I put the top on and placed it in the fridge, thankful I didn’t have to put in a bunch of effort to save the yogurt. 

A few days later I had about a third of a block of tofu left over after cooking dinner, and placed it in another long Dash Container, covered it with water, and used the rest a few days later. 

Other instances saw me use the Medium Container for two cups of cooked quinoa, and one of the Small containers to store a can of black beans. I found the tops of both became thick with condensation while in the refrigerator, During the testing period, I did not have a use for the Large Container and it is still sitting in my cabinet, unused. 

Move Over Nonstick, Caraway's Stainless Steel Cookware May Be Its Best Yet

What is special about the Dash Containers?

If you get the whole set you will be pleased to know that they fit inside the Medium and Large Containers nicely, but I have not used that feature yet. 

In the end, if I was to only buy one part of the set, it would be the set of Dash Containers. Bigger than the Dot Containers but small enough to fit some of my most-used foods if I have leftovers, these saved me when I didn’t know I needed saving.
