stojo

If you are looking for a new kitchen utensil and have recently discovered the allure of a stojo I will like to assure you that you are in for a treat! As you may know from reading countless forum posts on this subject the popularity of the stojo has never been higher. But why? What makes them such a great choice for every kitchen? And where can I get a really cool looking stojo?

A stojo is, quite simply, a glass jar with a lid. Many people use stojos as vessels for delicate liquids, however there is a certain sub-culture that uses food-grade silicone instead. Food-grade silicone comes with an official safety standard which guarantees that the silicone is free of toxic or carcinogenic materials. The safety standard also ensures that food-grade silicone will never leak or seep into the food (a common problem when silicone containers are used). In addition to this, the material is also non-toxic and therefore completely safe to use. So if you use stones for storing or boiling delicate food-grade silicone can be used instead.

How can food-grade silicone is used in a stojo? Well the great thing about stojos is that they come in all shapes and sizes and can be placed in any number of convenient locations - in the fridge, in your cabinet next to the cereal, in the freezer next to the coffee. You can even use them as drinking straws and coffee cups! One other great thing about stojos is that they look great in any environment and can be used in any kitchen!

Stojo holders made from stoja can be used as tea or coffee cups for everyday use and also as drinking straws and even as drinking mugs in the office. They're great for parties too because they can collapse for easy clean up. Because of their durability and longevity stojos can be used for years. As I have said many times before; it's amazing what can be stored in a stojo! For example the last time I was at the supermarket collecting cans of soup for dinner I managed to collect quite a few cans of soup, several bags of rice, a packet of instant coffee, two packets of instant tea (yes, seriously!)

What if I don't want my stojo getting dirty? Well that's another one of my favorite problems. I often find myself washing a stojo in the dishwasher-safe cup and dishwasher. But wait - I washed the coffee cup last night! Not long ago I washed the other 2 dishes with a slightly damp cloth - but both of them are still in perfect condition.

These days I use my stojo for a variety of things other than just coffee and tea. At work I use it to hold sandwiches cut into smaller pieces so that I can serve them for lunch. At home I still use it for holding the larger sandwiches and soups but now I do so using the collapsible design. It fits nicely inside the cup of the Sous Vide machine and makes for a leak-proof and convenient cup to use at home or in the office.
