Quick answer
Use Mepal Modula boxes to store leftovers and prepped meals in the fridge or freezer, then reheat directly in the microwave by removing the lid and covering loosely. The transparent design lets you see contents at a glance, making meal planning easier.
Why Modula boxes work for storage and reheating
Mepal Modula boxes are made from BPA-free, microwave-safe materials, so you can go from fridge or freezer to microwave without transferring food. The transparent body and lid let you identify contents instantly, even when stacked in a drawer or fridge.
The 2000 ml size is ideal for batch-cooked soups, stews, or casseroles. Its rectangular shape with rounded corners makes it easy to scoop out food and fits neatly in most fridge shelves and freezer compartments.
How to store and reheat food in Modula boxes
- Cool food before sealing: Let hot food cool to room temperature before placing it in the Modula box. Sealing hot food traps steam, which can cause condensation and make leftovers soggy. A common mistake is putting hot food directly into the fridge — this raises the internal temperature and can spoil other items. Wait until food stops steaming, then close the lid securely.
- Freeze flat for efficient storage: Fill the box leaving about 1 cm of headspace for expansion. Stack boxes flat in the freezer to save space and speed up thawing. One mistake is overfilling — liquid expands when frozen and can crack the container or pop the lid off. Leave a small gap at the top and freeze boxes lying down.
- Reheat safely in the microwave: Remove the lid completely before microwaving — the lid is not designed for microwave use. Cover the box loosely with a microwave-safe plate or paper towel to prevent splatters. Heat in 1-minute intervals, stirring halfway, until piping hot. A common mistake is leaving the lid on, which can cause pressure buildup and warping. Always take the lid off and use a loose cover instead.
