Halloween corners have begun to be set up one after another in general stores this year, and it's still exciting despite the familiar sight.

From "Zip Rock", which is familiar with storage bags, the annual Halloween limited items have appeared. The Disney design and colors are so cute that I just bought it on impulse!

The lineup is "Zip Lock Easy Zipper" and "Zip Lock Screw Lock". Designed with a horror house, the Easy Zipper is perfect for a bag of sweets and gifts.

Screw locks have capacities of 473 ml and 730 ml. There are four types of designs, and you will want to have all of them.

By the way, I think that many people use this container for storing food and sweets, but according to the Asahi Kasei website , it is also useful for cooking. So this time, I made the "Pumpkin Potage" posted on the site. It is also recommended for Halloween parties!

■ Pumpkin potage soup using "screw lock"

First, peel the pumpkin (net 250g (8.82oz)), cut it into bite-sized pieces, and chop 1/2 onion (100g (3.53oz)).

Put onions and pumpkin in this order in a screw lock with a capacity of 730 ml, shift the lid, and heat in a microwave oven (500w) for about 5 minutes.

An autumn-like soup with the gentle sweetness of pumpkin and onions. If you have a surplus, you can put it in the container and store it in the refrigerator as it is.

Jack-o-lanterns and ghost containers can only be used during Halloween, but Ziplock is practical because it can be used repeatedly even after Halloween. Why don't you take in the Halloween mood from the kitchen?
