What actually matters in a meal prep container

The container should hold one meal, not a mixing bowl of ambition. The lid should survive a commute. Everything else is taste.

Glass reheats without a stain and weighs more. A deli tub is light and stains. Glass vs deli containers lays it out, including an affiliate search link if you want to browse. We have not crowned a brand.

Two small jars for sauce will improve your food more than a new set. Retire any lid that has already leaked once. You will not suddenly start trusting it.

The longer note is containers that earn their space.
