Essential Housewares 10 Plastic Food Containers with Lids - 500ml. BPA-Free Leak-Proof Plastic Lunch Box Meal Prep Containers Reusable. Lunchbox Snack Box Food Storage Containers.

We’ve been using these containers in all three sizes for years, and they see constant, heavy use—in the fridge, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. And I really do mean constant. If used as the manufacturer recommends (for vegetables, salads, fruit, etc.), they’ll last for many years. However, I regularly put in hot curries, soups, and Italian sauces, so some of mine have slight discolouration—not bad considering it’s been a year and a half since I last bought a pack! I’m getting another set but will keep using the discoloured ones for foods that stain. These are fantastic value! A couple of things to watch out for: Lid durability – I’ve broken a few by trying to open a frozen container too soon. Let them thaw a little first! Dishwasher drying – Plastic doesn’t dry properly unless you use a dedicated drying cycle. One thing I love is that the lids fit ALL container sizes—I use the 750 ml, 650 ml, and 500 ml. Plus, they click together neatly for easy storage. A minor quirk, though: the lids seem to be left- or right-handed, meaning not all of them interlock perfectly. I wish they were all the same for easier stacking—just a small annoyance! I’ve included photos with the heights of each size to help with stacking and storage. Hope this helps—enjoy!

I bought these food containers so that I could freeze cooked meals. They are brilliant to use, microwave and dishwasher safe so are easy to use.

In trying to be leak-proof, the lids do not come off easily: care is needed not to use too much force so as to avoid breaking the thin plastic. Although they stack nicely in a static heap, be careful when moving a stack: they slide out to the side quite easily: I was carrying three when one slipped out sideways and fell from waist height on to a hard surface: the plastic shattered, even though what was inside was curry at room temperature.

I like to make batches of food and then freeze them. These are perfect. Just the right size, good price, and BPA free.

These tubs are perfectly fit for purpose, although the overall quality is nothing to get excited about. You can tell it's a cheaply made product, but for use as a simple food container which is both microwave and freezer safe it'll do the job just fine. I do have some concerns of durability as they don't seem particularly robust and one of the tabs for opening the lid has snapped off before even the first use. That said, I see no reason why this set wouldn't be able to last a year or two at least before needing to be replaced, so overall pretty good value for money.

Ok here's the thing about these containers. They actually seal very well and are indeed leak-proof. The problem is the design of the lid, which is far too stiff and therefore has a tendency to crack when you try to open it. What it needs is a more flexible plastic lid. Softer plastic that you can sort of gently peel off. Apart from this obvious design flaw, I do like the way they stack in the fridge and save space. They're also reasonably priced. But I can only give this 3 stars as it's not a perfect product.

They don't seem like they'll break easily. A bit difficult to clean but I suppose anything this shape and size would be. The lids stay on firmly and they're a suitable size for storing and freezing food.

These are excellent. The lids are easy to put on and remove, but a leak-proof. I have kept shredd cabbage in one in the fridge for over two weeks and it is still crispy with no signs of wilting or other deterioration. First seen on Sam the Cooking Guy (YouTube), I have all four sizes of the round tubs too. I previously used microwave/freezer containers which were thinner and more brittle, but these are far superior for fridge storage. I decant shredded cheese into one of the a large pots as soon as I open the packet, and These are ideal for leftovers too.
