Thinking out of the box

SAY Tupperware, and the super handy, plastic storage boxes come to mind. But the American brand has been producing a lot more than that to keep up with the needs of a modern kitchen.

According to Jan-Hendrik de Groote, vice president of global design at Tupperware, a new product is launched each week worldwide.

Some of its new products include the Steam It, a plastic steamer that is inspired by its bamboo cousin, but with added benefits such as a steaming surface that is ridged to prevent food from sticking and an optimum number of holes for more efficient cooking and slower evaporation. It retails for $24.90.
