Your best bet for avoiding rust would be to use stainless steel containers. If that's not an option, look into anti-rust coatings for your containers. There should be a way to prevent oxygen from hitting the metal and causing the oxidation that is rust.
Only if food was contaminated before.
Sour food items will react to the metal and spoil faster.
Consolidated Container Company manufactures blow-molded plastic packaging. The packaging is utilized by the food, chemical, dairy and water industries.
A spatula allows you to scrape all the food from the sides and bottom of a container so that is can all be combined evenly.
You should always use a thermometer.
Plastic food containers are usually see-through and allow people to see what is in the container. Plastic containers have an advantage over metal in that they do not rust. Plastic is also lighter than metal.
If the container says on it "for decorative use only", food shouldn't be stored in it.
No, the metal will reflect the microwaves and damage the magnatron (the part that produces the microwaves).
Yes. Tin or metal containers can leave a bad taste. Glass is your best option. It doesnt effect the food that is kept in it, and the food smell will not obsorbe into the glass.
If the container is plastic the lid will expand and pop off. If the container is ceramic/glass/metal condensation will form on the lid from the steam causing the food to 'sweat'.
The foods should always be stored in a plastic container. it should not be stored in any metal container as it gets corroded by acids present in the food and thus makes it toxic which act as poison in our body.
Outdoors, away from any food preparation, and with a plentiful supply of water.
Any metal container such as the galvanized one mentioned above, affects the PH and acidic values of the food often discoloring it. Plastic, wood and ceramic containers are safe and do not change or affect the PH of food(s).

While it is possible to store ice cream equally well in a metal or plastic container, plastic is better from the user's point of view. Metal transfers cold far better than plastic. Thus, it can become quite uncomfortable trying to hold onto a cold metal container. A cold plastic container is a poor conductor of cold. It does not make your hands hurt to carry it. A metal container has little give at the edges making it hard to scoop out the ice cream at the edges. A plastic container has more give at the edges. It is easier to get the ice cream at the edge of the container. It is easier to reattach a plastic lid on a container than a metal lid.
Yes, but dispose of it after 3 days. It's never a good idea to keep any food in a metal container in the refrigerator. The metal can react with different foods to develop toxins. Put the meat in a plastic or glass container for refrigeration.
