Ziploc® VersaGlass™ Containers Offer All-in-One Dinner Time Solution for Today’s Busy Moms

RACINE, Wis., April, 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's moms have less time on their hands than ever before (1). According to research, 71 percent of all mothers with children under the age of 18 juggle responsibilities in the workforce and on the home front. However, spending time with family at the dinner table over a home cooked meal – as opposed to eating an expensive meal out – is still a high priority for many moms, with more than half reporting they currently spend more time cooking dinner for their families now than they did last year (2). To help busy families maximize their resources, save time and money and get more out of their meals, Ziploc® Brand is introducing a new storage option: Ziploc® VersaGlass™ Containers. Now families can store, heat and serve – all in one container.

As the latest innovation from Ziploc® Brand, the food and home storage solution families trust, Ziploc® VersaGlass™ Containers are designed to go from the fridge, to the microwave or oven – at temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit – straight to the dinner table. These durable containers are made from tempered glass, which is 50 percent stronger than non-tempered glass.* Additionally, Ziploc® VersaGlass™ Containers feature a multipurpose, long-lasting and reusable design with a secure seal to keep food fresh.

Semrau, Senior Vice President, Global Public Affairs, Communication and Sustainability. "Ziploc® VersaGlass™ Containers are just one way of showing SC Johnson's commitment to making life easier for busy families by helping them spend more time together at the dinner table."
