Plastic Storage Containers

[pastrygirl]

A few years ago, Ziploc had made some nice semi-disposable containers with relatively square corners that I really liked then of course discontinued. 🤷‍♀️

 

@blue_dolphin these restaurant food storage pans come in multiple depths that can share lids

I used to buy those containers whenever they went on sale. Sizes didn't matter.  The idea was that when I had guests over for say Thanksgiving, Easter, etc. I could package up the food in these and send them home with my guests. Each 'family' would get either a bigger container or several containers.  If one family didn't like on of the veggies, I prepared, they didn't get a container of that.

 

I kept some for my own leftover dinners. The beauty was that I told everyone that they didn't have to return the containers.

Inspired by this thread I did this on Friday.

I general, I try to avoid plastic as much as possible but unfortunately due to my mobility issues, I am forced to use delivery people, who all use plastic.

 

One of these examples I have kept (actually two of the same). 

 

 

They originally contained wontons in soup, but it wasn't delivered 'in' soup. The plastic containers have two internal sections. The one on the right sits inside the top of the larger one. The soup was in a plastic bag inside the lower chamber and the wontons separately in the top, allowing you to mix them yourself.

 

I use them on those occasions when I need to put two items in the fridge but don't want to mix them. Very useful and saves precious fridge real estate.
