DuraHome Food Storage Containers with Lids 8oz, 16oz, 32oz Freezer Deli Cups Combo Pack, 44 Sets BPA-Free Leakproof Round Clear Takeout Container Meal Prep Microwavable, Airtight Lids (Mixed Sizes)

Chinese restaurants have been using them for years, you can too. These are good containers for the price and I like that this set has three sizes. While you can use them for a variety of things, knowing that they will hold liquid without leaking certainly provides peace of mind when preserving the freshness of other items as well. These hold up well to normal wear and tear and stack nicely if you let the contents cool first so the lid doesn't puff from the steam. I wash my dishes by hand so I can't speak to how well they would hold up to a dishwasher, but they microwave beautifully and freeze well without any distortion of shape. However, they can be brittle and therefore prone to chipping and cracking. As a matter of fact, one of my small bowls had a chip in it when I got them. But, at this price, I didn't let it bother me.

Normally I don't get long-winded on these things but let me tell you a story. I have been inheriting containers from various roommates for something like 15 years now. I've lived in two households with 6 different people and when they moved out for some reason they left their containers with me. That means I had this huge collection of containers from Ikea, Rubbermaid, Tupperware etc made from various grades of plastic, with different 'stackable' and non-stackable lids. I must have had 50 of the dang things. Also, I admit I have a tendency to forget that I put food in them and come across them with... gross contents. Now I'm on my own and I looked at this huge collection of containers, some clean and some disgusting and said "Screw this. These things are awful." I got rid of them and bought this pack. I could not be happier. Now instead of struggling to find space for a huge collection of mismashed containers with lids that don't even seal, I have one small double-stack of containers that I can wash or discard if i forget to do so. The lids are universal, stack neatly and fit nice and tight. I've used them in the microwave and I've put hot foods in them and they stood up well. I don't have a dishwasher anymore, but I'm confident they really would be safe on the top shelf of one. So if you're like me and want to reclaim storage space, hate cleaning out moldy food because you're forgetful, and want something solid, easy and reliable: get this variety pack. You won't regret it.

Great quality & longevity; highly recommend handwashing for longer shelf life

I've had a hard time finding containers that work for our family for leftovers. It seemed like our best option was ziploc bags, but I had that they are single use. Then I saw a youtube video by Ethan Cheblowski, saying how much he loves these containers, and for the price, I thought I'd give them a try. I really like these. They are waterproof, the 3 sizes fit our needs, and they stack nicely whether in the fridge or in the cupboard. They're also easy to get clean. That makes them almost perfect, except that sometimes the lids will rip off part of the top of the container. If they can fix that quality issue then these really will be perfect.

***I wanted to be sure I came back here to update my review. I have since put these in the microwave to warm the contents and it worked just fine. No melting issues or warping. I also put soup in the freezer using these containers and they work perfectly. I'm changing my 3 star review to 5 because it does what it says and they are VERY convenient and stackable. Old review... Description clearly says that these are microwavable and they definitely are not. I gave it 3 stars because I was able to store prepped food in the containers for a trip to the cabins so they work for storing food in, seal was tight with no leakage. I was just hoping that I could put soup in them and then pop them in the microwave, instead I had to pour them into a microwavable container first. I haven't tried them in the freezer yet but I'm not sure I will chance that. When washing them prior to use, they got flimsier with the warm/hot water... and then hardened back up while drying.

These things are awesome for just about anything. Any leftover foods, sauces, etc. Hot, super hot, cold, no problem. They're so durable we usually end up losing them or giving them away with food in them before any signs of wear and tear. They can handle the freezer and the microwave. Sometimes when the dishwasher is close to full, we'll bend a few pieces to get a few more in there, and with high heat, they can come out a little warped, but once you put a lid on they still form a tight seal. For freezing stuff, I highly suggest you take a little piece of plastic food wrap and cover the top of your food item with it so that it has contact with the food wrap and not the stale freezer air which would cause freezer burn. You should do this with anything that isn't vacuum sealed. Only word of caution (as with any plastic material), dropping one when you pull it out of the freezer will cause it to break. So if you drop one, examine it carefully to make sure you don't eat those pieces. This is not really a defect, just a natural property of the plastic it's made out of. I do recommend washing them before you use them. I've re-ordered this item several times and once I run out I will re-order it again!

When I bought these 2 yrs ago my husband said they were disposable and a waste of $. He also argued they weren't microwavable. Now I can never find one when needed because they're always in the fridge or sink or at our kids' homes with leftovers or at his desk holding flash drives or small computer components. They can get cloudy in the corners after a while and 2 have cracked from misuse. They microwave just fine but don't insulate hot food so you need to be careful when removing them. I don't microwave the lid. These aren't meant to be high end food storage; I have other containers for that. But they're great for daily use and I love that the lids are all the same size. The only thing my hubby complains about now is cleaning inside the edge of the lids but there are small disposable sponge-tipped swabs that work perfectly for that (link below). You can reuse them a bit. Lid edge cleaning tool: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08NPXVNCN/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A34A9KAOQ6WGCW&psc=1

This is my second purchase of the DuraHome storage containers. I’m not repurchasing because the first lot was unsatisfactory in any way; quite the contrary. I have to repurchase because whenever I send leftovers home with guests, I never get them back, despite gentle though increasingly pointed requests. The sizes are excellent and the containers do well in both refrigerator and freezer. Because of their sensible shape and sizes, they store compactly. Can’t address how they might do in the microwave as I’ve never tried. They do well in the dishwasher. My only complaint is that the lids go astray, but that’s likely a problem on my end. The containers were especially useful for freezing Christmas cookies and fudge and I haven't detected residual odors when I've stored something with garlic or onions. They’re reasonably priced, do a good job and give a variety of uses. Highly recommended.

I bought these to meal prep and so that I could see what was in my stored in fridge. I also like feeling like a chef/line-cook lol. I love them, they feel heavy duty, they are microwavable and they are very durable. They also work great as takeaway containers to send home with your guests.

I snapped these up on sale, so only paid $16 (AU) and they are a steal at that price. The plastic is thicker than your regular takeaway container and the ones you can get from Woolies or Coles, and the lids are a softer plastic so they actually bend and you can remove them without fear of them snapping! They have strong seal and although I haven't tested it yet they are meant to be both microwave and dishwasher proof. Mine arrived in perfect shape, but I did drop the package taking it out of the box (because I wasn't expecting them to be as heavy as they were = quality) and managed to crack one container, still, considering they were all in one shrink wrapped pack I was very pleased to see it was just one container that cracked and not a bunch. I'm not sure I'd pay the $45+ these are when not on sale, but definitely worth putting in the 'save for later' and waiting for a sale. UPDATE: It's been a few months of using these and they hold up well. I've had no warping or melting in the dishwasher or microwave, and no staining. They freeze well, but are a little brittle when frozen so careful not to knock them on the bench as they will crack.

I love the fact that you and put them into a dishwasher, microwave and freezer. Also completely airtight. You can store chopped onions in the fridge without a single scent.

These didn’t get the “it looks nice” approval from my wife, but after using them for a few weeks, she confessed she prefers these over all our other options. It’s nice that these are safe to use in the dishwasher and there is enough of each version that we are never missing out. They stack real nice and don’t take lots of space when not in use. They dó tend to break and bend after a while, so be prepared to buy a new set every two years

Very Good And reliable product
