Tin v Tupperware - which is best

Posts: 1,127 Forumite
In an effort to lose a little weight prior to my holiday (so I can afford to gain a little!!) I have made some meringues.
My question is what is the difference between an airtight tin and a tupperware or (lock and lock in my case). Previously I have kept them in a tin (old Quality Street tin).
Any thoughts on the subject.

Well I need to be able to see what is in a container else I tend to forget about the contents - so that's a vote for tupperware!
You really don't want to know how old a packet of cheese biscuits got before I rediscovered themm once!0 -
The tin is not airtight so your meringues will soften - if they last long enough
Sweet tines are fine for cakes as a little moisture stops them from drying. For the meringues use the lock and lock0 -
If it is a cake, I personally would keep it in a tin which would be cooler than Tupperware. For meringues - once they have dried out ,it doesnt really matter whether you use a tin or Tupperware.
I adore meringues -lovely filled with creme fraiche which is easier than whipping double cream. I particularly like pavlova filled with black and green grapes and peppermint aero! Sod the diet ! :rotfl:0 -

You haven't seen the list of restaurants I have noted for eating at. Mind you I think my meringues are working out slightly higher than shop bought at 2.5 points each.
Oh well I will just have to allow for them.;)£2.00 Savers Club = £34.00 So Far

I am a total convert to those clip and lock boxes - you can get them quite cheap at Tesco. I use them for lunch boxes, in the freezer etc. :T0
