Lakeland Stack-a-Boxes Plastic Food Containers & Lids (400ml) x 10

Just what I needed

I use these to store 'portion-controlled' quantities of food in my freezer. They're just the right size for my needs and are fit for purpose. The lids are very difficult to put on and subsequently remove, but I'd prefer this to a loose fitting that might compromise on food quality while frozen.The bases are definitely dishwasher proof, but I'm not so sure about the lids. There's no dishwasher safe symbol on them, only a plastic recycling mark. I wash mine by hand in warm soapy water to be sure.I saw someone give a poor star rating because 'their' sandwiches didn't fit in the containers. The sizes are clearly visible in the details. It's unbelievable that they blame the product for their poor judgement.I've had mine for over a year now and, so far, not had any breakages or issues... other then an incorrectly fitting lid or two when I first had them. Like I said, the lids are very tight and need a good deal of evenly spread pressure to ensure a good seal. Equally, I find it easier, when removing the lids, to start in one corner and 'gradually' prise the lid off evenly while going around the container.

I bought these cos I needed food tubs that fit in my mini fridge and these were the absolute perfect size. The colours bring me a lot of joy, as does the way they stack so well, both in the fridge with food in but also with lids off for storage so they hardly take up any cupboard space.I don't store liquids in them unless they are flat and would not trust them to be completely leak proof, though the lids do click on quite securely. But I think if used for food portions, even in a sauce, I would have no real concerns of leaks unless they were violently shaken! I use them to batch cook yoghurt recipes and overnight oats etc for the week. Or to store snacks like veg batons and hummous.They have been through the dishwasher and freezer many times, including the lids, as I've had these for months now and they are still good as new. No warping or cracking. I can remove the lids easily though I can understand someone might struggle if their finger strength or dexterity is affected.All in all I'm really pleased with this purchase.

I'm generally pretty pleased with these Stackaboxes (which I use for single portions of e.g. vegetable & bean stew) the main plus points being 1) they nest together well and are compact so take up much less space in my freezer than previous boxes - a big plus! and 2) the 4 different lid colours allow for useful colour-coding of contents.However I agree with some of the other reviewers about the lids being difficult (and kind of sharp-edged with it) to get off after freezing... so when preparing to reheat the contents in a pan (which I do direct from frozen) I now always put the box lid-side down in the kitchen sink and tip a small amount of very hot water on the base - done carefully this then makes the lid that much easier, indeed possible to remove. Trying to wrench the lids off straight from frozen could be why some are reporting breakages.Also I find the food smell plus traces of the contents, along with staining (especially tomato sauce) linger in the box, so that when washing up I have to fill them with warm soapy water and leave them to stand overnight/24 hours before I can get them properly clean.I hope the above info is useful - overall I am pleased with these :))

I bought two dozen of these a very long time ago for storing bulk meals. A slow wastage meant replenishment. It had to be These Lakeland boxes. They are tough and, importantly, stackable when not in use. Great quality and value. Highly recommended.

Just what I needed

I don't eat big meals so these easily fit a single portion in for me. They stack perfectly (inside or on top of each other). They're good quality and last for years. They clean in the dishwasher. The only thing I don't do is use them in the microwave as it does stain them. Probably not healthy to do that with any tupperware anyway.Only bought more because people tend to keep them when you give them food!

Really sturdy seriously reusable little boxes. Perfect for freezing portions of batch cooked meals. Approx one person size. Instant freezer dinners, but homemade. What’s not to like?
