Collapsible Food Storage Container
Collapsible food storage containers are one of the most innovative ideas created by food container manufacturers to date.
The advantages of containers that can be folded or collapsed so that they take up less room in your cupboard when you are not using them to store foods is obvious. But, how do you create a collapsible container that is functional, won't leak and seals airtight when you put food in it? Some companies have figured out how to solve this problem.

College students, studio apartments, one bedroom apartments, and very small houses will all benefit from collapsible containers. But, even if you have lots of storage room you can probably benefit from containers that take up much less room in your cupboards and pantry.
The most obvious application is the collapsible bowl. There are also collapsible funnels, drinking glasses, and microwave cookers. Tupperware also makes a collapsible colander
some manufacturers who make collapsible food containers are:
Rubbermaid
As Seen On TV (not really the actual manufacturer)
One advantage to a collapsible bowl is that if you only want to store 2 cups of leftovers and you have a 4 cup container you can open it up just enough to hold 2 cups. This limits how much air is in the container (a key factor in spoilage) and it takes up less room in your refrigerator.
