What Type of Container is Best for Oats?
The oat containers are available in glass, plastic and stainless steel:
Glass Oat Containers
Glass containers are the best option for those who want a visible pantry. It is microwave friendly, leak-proof, air tight and doesn't transfer flavours.
But for the glass containers the main issue is it is breakable and has storage issues. For the glass, sudden increase in temperature causes the glass to crack and more chances of shattering. For people who want to carry a container along with a gym, school or office, they are heavier and not easy to handle.
Plastic Containers for Oats
In comparison to glass, plastic containers are lighter, durable and less likely to break. Plastic with the silicon lid along with BPA-free material are most common for overnight oats, but the main downside is repeated use of plastic can cause the mixing of flavours.
