Facts

Paula Hook and Joe E. Heimlich, the authors of an article published by Ohio State University, feature that ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks and Romans, used many containers with lids connected using hinges or other mechanisms. The initial containers were primarily constructed from wood, ceramics, or metal and contained food, valuable items, or important documents.

The concept of the contemporary hinged container became popular due to the progress in manufacturing during the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries. The emergence of metalworking methods and the development of materials such as tinplate facilitated the large-scale manufacturing of containers with hinged lids. Plastic-hinged containers became prevalent in the 20th century due to advancements in materials science and production techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes PP containers preferable over other materials?

Are PP containers dishwasher-safe?

An article from The Dishwasher Manuals confirms that most PP containers are dishwasher-safe. PP is known for its ability to withstand high temperatures, which makes it suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher. But, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's instructions or labelling on the specific PP container to ensure it is labelled as dishwasher-safe. Some designs or shapes might not be suitable for dishwashing. You can also place the containers on the top rack of the dishwasher to avoid direct exposure to heating elements.

Are PP containers safe for storing acidic foods?

Yes, PP containers are safe for storing acidic foods. Polypropylene is known for its chemical resistance, which includes resistance to acidic substances. This makes it suitable for storing items like citrus fruits, tomatoes, and vinegar-based products.
