Igluu Meal PrepContainers Reusable 10 Pack Round 828ml (28oz) BPA-Free Food Prep Containers with Airtight Lids – Durable Plastic, Stackable, Microwave, Freezer & Dishwasher Safe

I bought the Round Plastic Meal Prep Containers with the noble intention of becoming a meal prep pro. You know, the kind of person who has their life together and brings homemade lunches to work, looking like they’ve got their whole life organized. Spoiler alert: I’m still a mess, but these containers? They're winning at life.They’re perfectly sized for all kinds of meals—whether it’s leftovers, snacks, or my attempts at cooking. They fit nicely in the fridge (unlike some containers that seem to take up 80% of the space), and their round shape is surprisingly satisfying to stack. It’s like a tiny game of Tetris every time I open the fridge.They’re durable, easy to clean, and have a secure lid that prevents any accidental "leaks." I may not have perfected my meal prep skills yet, but at least I look organized when I open my fridge. And for that, I’m grateful.If you're looking for containers that help you fake it ‘til you make it in the world of meal prep, these are your new best friends. You’ll feel like an adult, even if you’re still eating microwave meals 3 times a week.

Lovely for picnic poke bowls Ideal size and lightweight. Could be used for any type of salads or for keeping things fresh in the fridge. Don’t take up much space in the cupboard either.

These are fantastic containers and having bought both this round type and the rectangle type from this brand I would say that this rounder type are by far the more useful product.The build quality is fantastic, i have frozen, fringed, Dishwasher’ed these over and over again with no issue and they are holding up very well, the lid works very well and there is no signs of them breaking at all. Overall having bought several different types of the years from cheap takeaway styles to the much more expensive brand we all know i am happy with these sitting somewhere in the middle. Their use justifies the middling price and they are definitely the best day to day re-useable containers i have used.In terms of comparing them to the igluu rectangular ones:I suspect like a few people i bought the rectangle type first as this is the popular shape - look at anyone on social media showing off their food prep at the moment and they are using the rectangular type. And i have learnt that the rectangle type is good for making your food look pretty but not as good for actually eating your food.The slightly deeper but ‘narrower’ design (when comparing width of the rectangle to the circumference of the circle) means that this is actually more practical than the rectangular. Let me put it like this, the rectangle allows you to spread your food out more, which frankly looks good in a picture, but when it comes to efficiently storing and eating your food...well in the rectangular type when you use rice you end up chasing the last few mouthfuls around the shallow and long container rather than in the deeper circular type that this is it is much easier.Basically the food looks less pretty but is just more practical. In terms of capacity, I don’t know the official figures but i have literally just filled one type up to the inner lip with water and poured it into the other type and it held the same amount exactly.That said overall the igluu products in general are fantastic, i am now using the rectangular ones for food storage such as in the freezer storing meats such as frozen chicken portions and in the fridge things like storing cheese as opposed to the useless ‘resealable’ plastic in comes in and sliced meats, and decanting salad such as tomatoes straight into them for storage etc etc. I would actually consider buying more of the rectangular style simply for food storage but i cant think of an actual meal that i would put in an item like this that would be more useful to have in the rectangular type for ease of eating.In summary, igluu gets a massive tick from me - just work out which style of the single food prep container sizes best suit your use case. I will certainly be buying more of this one, and possible some more of the rectangle for gear real food storage.
