Tupperware Colander with Mesh Seal

I just love this classic Tupperware tool! This colander, unlike almost all other colanders I've seen, comes with a mesh seal. I don't know about you, but when I'm straining foods, I often have to shake the colander a bit to get that last bit of water off. Most of the time, my food stuffs go flying out and into the sink! The beauty of this piece is that your food stays safe inside! You can shake, shake, shake your colander and not lose one morsel!!!

Ice Tups!

Gotta love these things! I remember being a kid and mom getting this set and we could make our own frozen treats! I've heard these called "Popsicle molds", but Popsicle is a brand name that has clearly no relationship with Tupperware. The correct name for this set is "Ice Tups"!

What a great way to make an inexpensive treat and keep unnecessary packagaing out of the trash cans!

Vintage Tupperware Meat Keepers

Here's a nice lot of vintage Tupperware meat keepers. These are great for marinating or just storing meats. I'm pretty sure that I have here a hot dog keeper, a bacon keeper, a cold cut keeper and I'm not sure what else. Feel free to comment and set me straight. I will update this post to be as informative as possible.

The classic Mix n Stor

Here's the classic sheer Mix n Stor. Why they spell "store" as "stor", I do not know..??? Anyway, here is a classic piece that all of our mom's had in their kitchen. Holds 2 quarts and the seal snaps on tightly. The spout seal pops open for easy pouring. Excellet for pancake mix!

Mold for Tupperware Container from 1965

Okay, this is really fascinating to me on so many levels! First of all, this a photo of a 1965 Tupperware mold for a Mix-n-Store. Second, I was born in 1965 (LOL), and third, my day job is I'm an accountant for a plastics injection molder (no, we don't manufactur Tupperware).

This is just so cool! Here's an excerpt from the article:

A single impression mould used in the injection moulding of a Tupperware
'Mix-n-stor' container, shown with a container sitting in the mould casing. The
container is made from polythene. Tupperware was developed by an American, Earl
Tupper, in the mid 1940s. Polythene was discovered in 1933 by Reginald Gibson
and Eric Fawcett, two scientists working at ICI's research laboratory at
Winnington, Durham, as the result of a laboratory accident. The first patents
for polythene were registered in 1936, and a year later the first practical use
for the material, as a film, was discovered. Polythene was used as an insulating
material for radar cables during World War II, and the substance was a closely
guarded secret. After the war it began to be produced commercially.
