The kitchen gadget market has been buzzing with sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics, but few have generated the level of enthusiasm seen for Anyday’s latest offering. The Anydeli silicone food storage containers, which sold out within months of their April launch, have finally returned to shelves as of July 2026. And based on extensive testing, the wait appears to have been entirely worthwhile.
These platinum silicone containers represent a significant leap forward for eco-conscious home cooks. Unlike their disposable plastic counterparts or even traditional glass storage options, the Anydeli range combines remarkable versatility with a genuinely kid-friendly design that could transform how families approach meal storage and preparation.
A clever alternative to plastic
Anyone who has ever raided the kitchen cupboard for those circular takeaway containers will immediately recognise the shape. But that’s where any similarity ends. The Anydeli containers are crafted from premium platinum silicone – the same material used in popular reusable food storage bags – making them a flexible, durable and genuinely plastic-free alternative for the modern kitchen.
The containers come in three practical sizes (1 cup, 2 cups and 4 cups) and are available in four semi-transparent colours: green, blue, purple and classic white. The design incorporates a stainless steel ring fully embedded in the upper rim, providing crucial structure without compromising the silicone’s flexibility. This clever engineering means the containers hold their shape when filled, yet yield just enough to prevent messy explosions when overstuffed in the freezer.
Emily Farris, who spent four years reviewing kitchen equipment for Bon Appétit and Epicurious, describes them as “endlessly versatile, lightweight and durable enough to send in my kids’ lunchboxes without worry.”
Versatile cooking and reheating
What truly sets these containers apart is their remarkable functionality. The vented lids allow for straightforward cooking and reheating directly in the microwave, while the containers themselves are oven safe to 232.2°C (450°F). This means home cooks can store, cook and serve in a single vessel before simply popping everything into the dishwasher – a genuine kitchen efficiency win.
The vented lid design proved particularly impressive during testing. One reviewer found that transferring frozen broccoli to a 2-cup container with the vented lid, then microwaving in two 90-second sessions, produced evenly steamed results without the dreaded mushy texture. The containers also handle the humble task of microwave popcorn admirably – two tablespoons of kernels in the 4-cup size, lid vented, and two to three minutes on high yields a batch that rivals any pre-packaged alternative.
The only notable limitation compared to Anyday’s glass range is that the silicone isn’t suitable for air fryer use, as it can’t tolerate the higher temperatures those appliances reach. However, given the practical advantages in weight and durability, this feels like a minor trade-off.
Kid-friendly and practical
The Anydeli containers excel in real-world family use. The measurement indicators marked in quarter-cup increments up the side of each container prove unexpectedly useful – whether mixing salad dressings directly in the vessel or precisely portioning ingredients for recipes. The leak-proof seal means vigorous shaking won’t result in oil-stained clothing, and critically, the lid is easy enough for a five-year-old to manage independently.
Perhaps most impressively, the combination of lightweight construction and shatter-resistant silicone means parents can finally send reheated meals to school without the anxiety of glass breakage. After years of searching for a truly multifunctional, child-friendly storage solution, reviewers have found the perfect match.
Pricing and availability
The Anydeli Silicone Mixed Set of 3 is priced at $46, while the comprehensive six-container set costs $89. Both are now available directly from Anyday following their extended sellout period.

Why it Matters
The return of Anydeli containers to the market signals something significant: consumers are increasingly demanding kitchen products that don’t force them to compromise between practicality and environmental responsibility. Single-use plastics remain a mounting global concern, with microplastics infiltrating food chains and ecosystems at an alarming rate. Products like these demonstrate that sustainable alternatives can actually outperform their disposable counterparts in everyday use – they’re more durable, more versatile and genuinely safer for families. As more manufacturers observe the market reception for genuinely innovative eco-friendly kitchenware, we can expect continued investment in materials and designs that reduce our reliance on harmful plastics. The kitchen, it seems, is becoming an unlikely battleground in the fight for a cleaner planet – and for families, that’s welcome news indeed.
