Any Tupperware Lovers/Dealers Out There? Have A...

Hi everybody! I'm a Tupperware fanatic and, truthfully, have too much of it......but I love it so much, I just can't help myself!!!!! Anyhow, for years I had a few pieces of the Ultra 21 Bake Ware; however, sadly to say, Tupperware discontinued it.

I have been very fortunately, however, to find it (both new and used) on e-Bay, as well as on Etsy so have been trying to purchase a few items for myself. However, I've got a question.

What is the best thing for effectively cleaning Tupperware......especially for the Ultra 21 Bake Ware? I've got one piece that's very badly stained........no matter what, I can't get them removed. Also, what to use on the "clear" Modular Mates?

Do any of you own the Ultra 21 Bake Ware? If so, how do you keep the pieces nice and stain free? I'd surely love to get this one piece back to looking like new (if it's not too late!).

Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

Sorry but I can't help, Nora.

Thanks for stopping by, William! I ended up throwing out a couple of pieces of Tupperware (not the bake ware, though) as they were so terribly stained, and I couldn't get them out.....ughhhhh! Surely, there's got to be something that will remove stains!

I used to have some of the Ultra 21 a few years ago,I had the same trouble. Once it gets stuff burnt on it's impossible to clean, without scratching it anyway. That's probably why they discontinued it. I finally chunked mine and went back to Pyrex. :) The modular mates, those I love! Bleach will usually take care of any stains on them.

Hmmmmm, yeah, I think I'll just "trash" the old Ultra 21 pieces....there are only a couple that are "bad." I've been purchasing a few new ones and am going to make sure to "spray" them with something like Pam before using, so they won't get stained.......I've got a few other really badly stained regular pieces of Tupperware.....will probably trash them as well. Guess I probably shouldn't have so much of the stuff!

If you don't mind the scratches, an sos pad might take it off. I have alot of Tupperware too, my Mother used to be a seller so I got hooked on it! :)

Nora D. Jan 12, 2013, 12:13am UTC

Oh wow.......I'd of never thought of the SOS Pads...........what a great idea! I'd rather have the scratches than the horrible stains, for sure! I still have the pans so might have to get some SOS Pads this weekend.....thanks so much for the great idea! Tupperware really is great, though, isn't it?

We mainly use glass. The Tupperware or other plastic type containers we do use are thrown aways when they begin to stain or crack.

Nora D. Jan 11, 2013, 7:10pm UTC

I've really loved the bakeware, as you can use it in the microwave, oven, or even put in the freezer......I guess I'll probably throw the badly stained stuff in the garbage and start over.....I did find a new, and good, tip, though.....before using any Tupperware, and especially the bake ware, one should spray the piece with something like Pam, to keep from staining.
I need to go through mine and will just probably throw all the "stained" stuff in the garbage and start over again.

THANKS FOR SHARING

Nora D. Jan 11, 2013, 9:42pm UTC

Thanks for stopping, Larry.......guess I'm just gonna throw out the "stained" bake ware and go ahead and buy brand new......at least next time I'll know to spray the stuff with pam before using.......that way, they won't stain!

Larry H. Jan 11, 2013, 10:11pm UTC

sorry I can't help I would like to fine me a Tupperware dealer myself. I need some more sandwich holder things for the kids buckets. There use to be a lady up two mile road but I'm not sure if she still does it I haven't gotton a book in years. I went on line and found a website for tupperware, and they had what I want I just have not ordered them yet.

Nora D. Jan 11, 2013, 9:45pm UTC

I think I'm just going to have to throw out the stained pieces and then will buy new ones and start over.......Both Etsy and e-Bay have got tons of Tupperware, and especially the Ultra 21 Bake Ware.....I was so thrilled when I found them. I really do love Tupperware but there are no dealers around my area either.....I generally order from the Tupperware web site or maybe even go to Etsy.com or e-Bay.....you could try those two places for the sandwich keepers.

connie h. Jan 11, 2013, 9:49pm UTC

I didn't think about ebay I will half to go and check that out.

Nora D. Jan 11, 2013, 10:40pm UTC

Oh.......and try Amazon.com also.......just type in Tupperware sandwich keepers/holders or something like that......you'll be surprised at what you'll find.....LOL!!!! I've been spending a bunch of time tonight over at Amazon.com, Etsy and e-Bay.....hmmmmmm, I need to stay away from those places....LOL!

connie h. Jan 11, 2013, 10:42pm UTC

I shop there a lot too thanks

I have some of my moms and I cook in micro with it all the time,, I clean it normally with Dawn,, and if anything I get a stan on it I normally use bleach to get stain out of any of my stuff, then super hot water wash that either by dishwaser or by hand

Nora D. Jan 17, 2013, 2:29pm UTC

Hmmmmmm, interesting.....I've always been afraid of using bleach, but maybe I should get a little bit and try that and Dawn.......the stains are sooo frustrating.

Steph-in-NE ..... Jan 18, 2013, 12:45am UTC

my mother and grandmothers have used bleach in the dishwater,, we lived out in the country and live off well water for many years so that was our better clean water solution, like 1/4 cup to a sink full of hot water, and dish sopa to of course
