Dealusy 50 Pack (100-Piece) 24 oz Meal Prep Containers Reusable with Lids, Sturdy Leakproof & Food Safe, Microwave, Freezer, Dishwasher Safe Prep Containers, To Go Take Out Plastic Food Storage

So, this is what I’ve learned. Wordsmith a new name for a concept that already exists (with a perfectly appropriate name already) and it’s as if the activity is new as well.So, what has set me off? “Meal Prep”. It’s as though before 2024, no one – EVER – had thought of cutting carrots, onions and celery and storing them in the refrigerator to use - as needed - for the week. Or, no one – EVER – thought of making twice as much braised chicken, meatballs or lentils and freezing the extra for future use.Sigh.Up until now, however, packing meal-prep items was more challenging. Everybody recycles Chinese takeout food containers and generic CoolWhip bowls. The corresponding lids end up in purgatory, along with socks from the dryer.While that is probably still a problem, with this set, you can afford to lose a lid or two. Because, you have 50 of them.Use them for baked casseroles (baked ziti, enchiladas, meatball stroganoff). Use them for sliced fresh veggies and fruits. You know that you’re supposed to prep the produce the minute you bring it home. With these containers, you now have the perfect vessel to contain your farmer’s market haul (and they’re stackable – even on their side).I got the 24-ounce containers (50 containers and lids for $25.99). In our family, that holds enough for three servings. One reason why this is so explicitly labelled for meal prep is, these containers are leakproof, freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe. I have the worst luck with my lunch leaking all over the inside of my bag. Hasn’t happened yet.And, that’s part of the appeal of meal prep – you can literally remove the frozen lasagna (from a double batch you made on the weekend) container from the freezer, right to the microwave and then to the dishwasher. The container doesn’t melt in the microwave or discolor/shrink in the dishwasher.Look, I like the idea of Blue Apron as much as anyone. But, dang, are those pricey! Yes, I’d love to be able to just throw a few included items together and have dinner ready in 30 minutes.Now I can. Since dinner’s already done.

If using these for meal prep they’re great. Holds a nice serving of rice and a 7 oz breast easy but that about maxes it out. Tight lid and not too thin plastic. Haven’t had any leak and they stack well. Keeps items fresh for a week if needed.

Definitely makes meal prep easy. I had some bigger ones that I found I was putting to much food in trying to fill the space. So I got smaller ones and it’s really been helping. And yes they are pretty durable. Been using containers like this for yrs. They last a good while and when they do break it’s no biggy because they are cheap!!

We use these like tupperware to stack food in the freezer. We need the height in the lid as some of the food is frosted cupcakes. The containers stack and store without smashing the frosting. The quality of the container is great. Eventually there will be some containers that crack with repeated usage, but that is a long time away -- years away with repeated usage. Even tho' this company says that the containers are dishwasher safe on the upper rack, we have only handwashed.

For the price these are awesome, reusable and dishwasher safe ,I can not make a meal for just me and my hubby,I think it is due to me growing up in a big family so when I try to lessen the portions it never seems like enough,so since I have some elderly neighbors I share with them . Since many elderly people don't really eat properly or want to cook just for themselves I share my cooking with them and these dishes are awesome since they are reusable and dishwasher safe and freezer safe these are working out awesome. After I got these I ran some through the dishwasher to clean them and I made a huge batch of lasagna,so after the lasagna was done I place a slab into about 12 of these containers which were given to my elderly neighbors,and these are the perfect size for them to eat right away,but I also frize some of the lasagna in portion sizes and placed in my elderly neighbors freezer for another day for them . Just when you freeze in them defrost in the fridge over night and since I don't use plastic in the microwave I told my neighbors to place the food on a microwave safe plate or on a small cookie sheet for the toaster oven or oven and reheat . These also work out awesome for a cook out ,for guest to take left overs .
