What does /ck/ use for food store containers? I need to pick

Unless you're doing something that NEEDS to be stored in glass like you're going all hippie mom-mode about homemaking pickles or something just buy plastic containers. They're fine.

But they stain and melt.

So buy the higher quality ones that don't stain or smell, or just buy the cheap shitty ones that you can use a few times and throw away.

Go for anything microwavable with snap-on lids. It's worth the extra buck when you have some leftover soup or sauce you want to store and reheat later.

This kind is the best. I put my lunch in one of these and throw it in my backpack for work. I'd never do that with the old style of lid. Gotta have the snaps.

>not a quality product any more.
I dropped one on the way into work on concrete a week or so ago that I just bought. Barely chipped it at all.

- square and rectangular are best.
- round sucks.
- lids with snaps are good.
- This set >>9266855 is good, but 2-3 of my rectangle lids have one defective snap (not a big deal)
- pyrex is good for food that needs longer microwave times.

That's an IKEA set, I own two and they're pretty decent. I have some snap-top pyrex and there decent but a bitch to store if you have limited space.

Personally I consider 'storage ware' disposable. If it gets nasty I just throw the whole thing away rather than waste time trying to scrub it out.

Any electronics that heats up stuff is a money hog. Microwave oven, cooker, space heater, etc. You'll be surprised how much you can save on electricity when you unplug those after done.

Was in Smart and Final today. One of the few stores that has a great selection of meal prep containers.
