IKEA 365+ Stainless Steel Container Tops Consumer Reports as Best Food Storage

Consumer Reports crowned IKEA’s 34-ounce 365+ stainless steel food storage container as the best overall, beating Pyrex and other brands for seal quality, durability, and versatility (oven, fridge, freezer). Priced at about $8.99 total ($6.99 for the stainless base and $2 for the plastic lid), it features a leakproof polypropylene seal and dishwasher-safe lid; a bamboo lid variant exists but is not leakproof and nearly matches the price. The container has many positive reviews on IKEA’s site and Reddit, though some users dislike the bamboo lid.

Bold Wolf Prompts Campground Closures at Isle Royale National Park

Isle Royale National Park is closing sections of the Three Mile Campground through July 31 and expanding hazing, noise deterrents, and stricter food-storage rules at nearby campgrounds after a bold wolf began sniffing tents, dragging backpacks, and entering tents, signaling habituation to humans. Duncan Narrows campground was closed earlier this week due to rising human-wildlife interactions. There are about 37 wolves on the island this winter—the most since the 1970s—while the moose population has declined.

Revive Your Potatoes: Don't Discard Soft Spots Automatically

Soft spots on potatoes are safe to eat and are a result of dehydration. These spots do not affect the overall flavor or texture of the potato, so you can simply cut off the affected sections and continue cooking. However, if the potato is mushy all over, has black coloring, or smells rotten, it should be discarded. To keep potatoes fresh, store them in a cool, dry place and separate them from ethylene-emitting produce. Freezing is also an option for long-term storage.

Tupperware faces uncertain future as it warns of potential collapse.

Tupperware, the iconic food storage brand, is facing bankruptcy and has "substantial doubt" about its ability to continue as a going concern. The company failed to file an end-of-year statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission and is scrambling to stay afloat by finding new investors, selling off real estate, or laying off workers. Analysts say the Tupperware party, which helped make the brand so successful, may have contributed to its downfall. Tupperware had reported declining sales last year and now faces a lawsuit by investors who said the company misled them by failing to disclose "serious issues with internal controls" in false statements.
