French Bull makes for stylish food storage
Filed under: Haute Home
You can look like a million bucks in that Milly dress entertaining guests at your dinner party. You'll even be the hostess with the mostess with that luxurious set of linens and gorgeous dinnerware on the table. However, when it's time to put all that food away, are you going to out yourself as a cheap with those "disposable" storage containers that you keep washing?
Of course not.
French Bull makes charming storage containers for food made of 100% melamine, so they're dishwasher safe and shatterproof. Most of their designs feature bright colors in geometric patterns, but they even have classic black and white. A set of three containers is $26.

Oooh, click the link! I think the one with the dots (not shown above) is the best one. But the black and white are cool, too! I wish there were red and green ones, though, for the holidays.

Lord, $26.00 just for 3 bowls? You can get a whole set of tuperware cheaper than that. Most people need more than 3 or 6 bowls for storage. I think I will stick with my tuperware.

Yeah? Who wants to pay for bowls that won't keep food fresh? At least Tupperware has been in business over 60 years and will keep your stuff fresh. And have you seen Tupperware lately? It's not your grandmother's old avacado and burnt orange color. There's beautiful colors now. So sit on it French Bull. my2.tupperware.com/ldever if you want to take a look.

They can't compare to Tupperware. Tupperware offers a lifetime warranty on their products does French Bull? That is why so many people choose Tupperware. Check out all of Tupperware's products at www.my.tupperware.com/nadiabooth
We have great online specials right now.

These sound safer to heat foods, serve, and store in the fridge. Let's give these a chance.
I've been looking for bowls like these for 18 years.
Relax tupperware dealers

In my experience, melamine tends to get really hot in the mircowave, so I wouldn't use them for reheating. But I like the black and white ones a lot. and the striped & diamond ones would fit in really well in my retro themed kitchen. But it would be a splurge for me to spend that much on three storage bowls, I kinda don't really care what dinner guest think about my tupperware or rubbermade storage bowls. But if you do, then I guess these would be great.

These colors look like the 60's. They will fall by the wayside in a 'not so distant' future. The thing about Tupperware is that even though they really try to update their product to follow the times, the colors also become outdated. BUT....they last forever, and do a terrific job of maintaining freshness in foods stored in them. That the "ultimate" as far as I can see. I still have some I bought in the 60's. They never wear out if cared for properly. You have to give them away just so you can update and have a new look occasionally.

Personally, I like using the newer containers from the Chinese takeouts. They're in all different sizes and stack well and cost... well, they're free, aren't they!!!

buyer beward anything made of melamine gets very hot in the microwave and too many uses in the ole micro causes it to crack and its not dishwasher safe, I've used it and had it come out cracked or broken !!

When are we all going to come back down to earth? Since when does storing leftovers need to be "pretty?" I just use my old 70s tupperware, and saved deli containers. Do we really need to keep buying more and more and more stuff????

The thing about Tupperware is it's guarenteed for a LIFETIME, so if it breaks, we'll replace it for free. It's hard to find a product like that. Besides which, I think they're ugly. Wouldn't go well in my kitchen at all. Our Rock-n-Serves are stylish, and while the container gets hot, the handles stay cool, so you don't burn yourself when you're cooking in the microwave. AND, I've never had one break, but, even if it does, it's replaced free. Sorry, I'll stick with my Tupperware...
And while I'm at it, I'll add my shameless plug. :D If you're in the Indianapolis area, give me a buzz to see all the new January specials... which SO ROCK!!!! (Think COLTS BLUE!!!)
