Which Tupperware product for which recipe?

The site lists more than 40 different products, from a simple mixing bowl to a microwave cooking dish. This guide groups them by everyday use to help pick the right one for a given recipe, with the recipe count that goes alongside each product.

Microwave cooking

These dishes are built to cook straight in the microwave, often faster than a conventional oven. Many stand in for a saucepan or a casserole on a rushed evening.

• MicroCook Pitcher (152 recipes): for sauces, custards and quick small batches.
• MicroPro Grill (66 recipes): a dish that browns the surface while cooking through in the microwave.
• TupperWave Stack Cooker (40 recipes): several tiers to cook a full meal at once.
• Microwave Pressure Cooker (26 recipes): for stews and braises, cooked under pressure in a fraction of the usual time.
• Microwave Rice Maker (23 recipes) and Microwave Pasta Maker (17 recipes): for starches, without watching a pot.

Oven cooking

For dishes that need longer cooking or a good colour, the oven is the better choice. These products stand up to extended time at higher heat.

• Ultra Pro (121 recipes): the all-purpose dish for roasts, bakes and savoury loaves.
• Premiaglass (44 recipes): glass, for bakes that go straight from oven to table.
• Tupperware cookware (52 recipes): for hob cooking, before or after a spell in the oven.
• Air Fryer (12 recipes): a countertop alternative for quick, crisp cooking.

Prep and chopping

These tools speed up the steps before cooking starts, often the ones that take longest by hand.

• SuperSonic Chopper (228 recipes): the most used product on the site, for chopping vegetables, meat and nuts.
• Mandoline (41 recipes): for thin, even slices, useful for carpaccios and bakes.
• Grater (32 recipes) and Super Dicer (23 recipes): for grating or dicing with little effort.
• Spiralizer (13 recipes): for turning vegetables into ribbons or noodles.

Baking and silicone

Baking makes up a large share of the site's recipes, and these products come up again and again.

• Mixing bowl (222 recipes): the base for mixing batters and doughs, the second most cited product after the chopper.
• Silicone baking sheet (108 recipes) and silicone mould (102 recipes): for baking without paper or greasing.
• Speedy Chef (41 recipes): for whipping up a cake batter in a few minutes.
• Portioning scoop (37 recipes): for cookies or muffins of an even size.

Storage and serving

Once a recipe is ready, these products store or present it, at the table or for the next day.

• Quick Shake (54 recipes): for drinks and dressings mixed on the spot.
• WOW Pop Popcorn Maker (54 recipes): for homemade popcorn without oil spilling over.
• Cornets Party (27 recipes): for individual portions at drinks parties.
• Hamburger Press (18 recipes): for patties of an even thickness, ready for a pan or a grill.

How to read this list

The same product sometimes shows up across recipes that serve quite different purposes, a silicone mould used for cookies as much as for a savoury loaf. The grouping here follows the main use, the one that comes up most often across the site's recipes.

Recipe counts show popularity, not quality. A product with 12 recipes, like the Air Fryer, can suit a specific job perfectly well without needing a large number of pages to prove it.

A few rarer products fall outside the five groups above, such as the Micro Vap' steamer or the Zest n Press for citrus zest and juice. Their own product page remains the best source for exactly what they are built to do. Checking a recipe's own equipment list before shopping for a new product usually settles any doubt faster than browsing categories, and most recipes also name a standard kitchen alternative for readers without the specific tool.
