Reddit mentions of [5 Packs]Glass Meal Prep Containers 3 Compartment with Lids, Glass Lunch Containers,Food Prep Lunch Box,Bento Box,BPA-Free, Microwave, Oven, Freezer, Dishwasher Safe (36 oz)

Thanks for all the great comments and compliments! Woke up to a full inbox. To answer a few of the questions:

1. Here is the link for the containers on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N2BPQC3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
2. Recipes:
   
   1. Pasta Salad with dijon vinagrette, olives, capers, shredded mozzerella and sundried tomatoes
      
   2. Black eyed pea salad with red onion, celery and ceasar dressing.
      
   3. The egg salad, roasted broccoli with bread crumbs, and marinated kale salad are all from The Food Lab book.
      
3. I'm doing this mostly for health reasons. Not to lose weight, but just to eat better. I work in a hospital and the cafeteria food is pretty unhealthy (oh the irony). I have very little self control when I go there, and I wind up getting a slice of pizza or chicken tenders or something equally unhealthy.

Updated link, OPs link seemingly goes to a used set that’s more expensive.

Also, simply searching the mfg name yielded a few different sets.

Either way, thanks OP!

I got them from Amazon

Sure! Everyone's situation is different. For me:

1. Space: (1) Plastic disposable containers are much thinner & smaller than glass containers, so I can maximize my freezer storage space better. I only have a single upright deep freezer, and while it is large (20cf), space is limited. Glass is thicker & the lids are thicker, so I can store fewer of them. Plus, it's easier to vacuum-seal the plastic or foil trays (without the lids) & still have a low physical size footprint, so I can keep the prepared meals for longer in my freezer without getting freezer burn. (2) I also live in a modestly-sized space; I can store 150 plastic containers in a box about 24" tall because they stack, whereas I'd need a huge amount of storage space for that many glass containers with silicone lids.
   
2. Quantity: (1) I do small-batch meal-prep (pretty much one batch a day, every day), which really adds up over the course of a month (I like to have a big variety in my freezer), and as of last month, I am now meal-prepping for 7 people, so I need a LOT of containers to store everything. A typical meal-prep batch will make half a dozen containers, so if I only make one recipe in my Instant Pot a day, I can easily use up that box of 150 containers in a single month. (2) I also personally a high-frequency eating schedule; I currently do 7 small meals & snacks per day (breakfast/lunch/dinner, morning/brunch/afternoon snack, and dessert), so I need a lot of containers. I use an insulated 6-container-capable bag from Isolator Fitness to carry my food around with me all day. I've also worked an average of 70+ hours a week for the last 5+ years, so I kind of have to maximize my available free time for doing meal-prep & need to have all of my tools & supplies ready to go for both cooking & packing my daily meals with.
   
3. Cost: (1) I can get 150-pack of disposable containers for $40 + shipping, and each one can usually be re-used a few times before needing to be thrown out. Glass containers are typically $5 or so each, as opposed to a quarter or so for the disposable ones. Over time, the glass would pay for itself, but then I'd loop back to the space issue mentioned above for both empty storage & freezing. Someday when I get a house with more room & an extra couple thousand dollars, I'd love to get a couple hundred glass containers to store on a basement shelf & a second (and possibly a third) deep freezer, but that's not my current situation. (2) The average American family of 4 spends $1,500 a year in food waste, but thanks to vacuum-sealing & meal-prep containers, I can offset a majority of that cost with my freezer & plastic meal-prep container system. And the cost savings from eating out less have been absolutely tremendous. I still eat out, but having learned how to cook (especially with the aid of modern appliances such as sous-vide & electric pressure-cooking), I can make great food at home at a hugely reduced cost to me every month.
   
4. Oven support: The foil pans linked in the OP can be microwaved AND baked in the oven, which is a pretty unique feature for a disposable pan. Pyrex glass containers can do both as well, but ever since they cheaped out on the materials, they are prone to exploding (well, even more so than before, at least), especially in situations where you take one out of the freezer & put it directly into a hot oven, because of the shock. Glasslock has a few rectangle containers that offer traditional oven support, but they start at $8 each, as do the Anchor Hocking microwave/traditional-oven models. Plus you still run into the stacking issue if you're using similarly-sized containers. I don't use the dual-oven disposable trays as much as the plastic ones partly due to the cost & partly because I store a lot of my freezer meals pre-cooked & so they only need to be microwaved, but they are really handy for things like single-serve casseroles, lasagnas, and other items that benefit from being baked in a toaster oven or traditional kitchen oven.
   
5. Dividers: For certain meal combinations, I like to have dividers in my meal-prep trays, which is nice for both separate certain foods & reheating certain items separately. There are glass containers that have dividers & are both microwave & oven-safe, but again - cost, thickness in the freezer, and stackability are concerns. Also, I have a lot more flexibility in terms of the physical capacity specifications of each container - I can easily buy a big pack of 11oz or 30oz containers as needed, for example. Oh, and some of the glass lids have plastic parts, and sometimes those plastic parts crack (like the snaps), so then you're hosed (unless you can find replacement parts, at an additional cost).
   
6. Recycleability: We have a great recycling program in my area. Also, not to downplay my personal role in reducing my environmental footprint, but I've worked in food service previously & also have customers in the industrial sector & the amount of plastic they go through is absolutely ludicrous & makes my contribution look like a drop in the bucket. Again, that doesn't excuse using plastics, as every little bit counts, but given my current situation with space, budget, and having a good recycling program available, disposable containers are a really good option for me.
   
   I don't have anything against glass, and in fact, would love to use it more, but given my current situation's limitation & requirements, plastic is the best option for me at the moment. I cook a lot for meal-prep, I eat a lot of food, and I cook for a lot of people. So for me, the biggest draws to disposable containers are the cost & space requirements, both in the freezer & in dry storage. It's not an ideal situation, but it is what it is, and I have to deal with it one way or another!

Thanks, Yeah there great! I got them on amazon see below:
