Extreme Freeze Deli Food Containers with Lids, 16-Ounce, 36-Pack, 36-Pack, 16 Oz

I love these cartons! They are exactly what I was looking for and a great price. They are now my go-to cartons for everything food-related, and I'll definitely be purchasing more over the years. We have these cartons in 8 oz, 16-oz, and 32-oz. We use the 16-oz most often, but the 8-oz is perfectly sized for meal portions for me, and prepped meal stock (like homemade Cream of Chicken I store in the freezer). I started buying these cartons about over a year ago. My husband and I cook a lot, everything from scratch. We have a deep freezer, and these cartons have held up better than the any other brands we've used over the years--and trust me, we've used all the name brands over the years. We use these containers for everything from salsa to squash to storing leftovers. THE LIDS: Sometimes the lids are harder to get off, but once you get the hang of it, it's no problem. It never annoyed me, but slightly annoyed my husband to the point he broke a lid once trying to get it off. You also just have to double-check it to make sure it's shut all the way. I don't even think about it any more; it's just habit (and honestly, that's almost any carton out there). I honestly like that it takes a little more effort than the other kinds of cartons because I know the seal is solid and not going to pop off in my freezer, no matter what we stack on it. I do wish the cartons were square for better space, but everything else outweighs that. The only staining I've noticed is when I've stored tomatoes or Tikka Masala in the cartons, and honestly, I couldn't care less. The staining doesn't bother me. In response to other reviewers: - we've never had these cartons break in the freezer (though we have had all the other brands break... and then had to clean up the pieces) - the ratio of broken lids / containers (just from regular use) has gone down to 1/4 of what it used to be with other brands - dollar store quality: I would definitely disagree. I've bought a few cartons at the dollar store (hated them) when I was first married and will never go back. These cartons have been nothing like those. They actually might compare more to what they might give you if you go to the grocery deli and get a pasta salad (I'm pretty sure they use the same type of cartons). So if you like what you see there, you get the idea of what this is. Pros - solid, quality containers - plastic that is considered the "safer" kind - BPA-free - Durable, even when used consistently in both freezer and microwave - they stack so well, and go really high -interchangeable lids (yes! you don't have to store all the lids separately) - hard to stain from food - great seal Cons - they are circular and not as space-efficient - sometimes lids can be harder to get off

I bought 40 of the 8oz size and 36 of the 16oz size and 24 of the 32oz size. I like them lots. The containers are not flimsy, they are thick enough material to successfully hold 32oz of soup, chilli, etc without collapsing on themselves. The lids fit perfectly and tight. The smaller the size the harder it is to get the lid off which I thought could be a problem but even the 8oz isn't a real struggle. I seem to have a problem getting lids off for some reason and was concerned about some of the comments but I think they are a good design. All the lids are the same size across the 8oz, the 16oz and the 32oz containers so there is no 'hunting' for the right lid. I use the 8oz for storing Jello and/or pudding in the fridge. I use the 16oz for single servings of soup, chilli, etc (freezer or fridge). I use the 32oz for storing spaghetti sauce and the like in the freezer. I've also used them to take things in my lunch to work and the lids fit so snug that I don't worry about spilling the contents. The containers have two lines on the inside - the higher line is the exact measurement for the particular size container. The lower line is a little less than the containers measurement size but is perfect if you are going to freeze it. The lower line allows exactly enough room for expansion when freezing I learned. These containers are not good for storing flat items such as chicken breasts. I continue to use my Tupperware squares and rectangles for those kind of items. I don't like using these for chicken breasts or stuffed peppers. Staining: I have had no issues with staining but then I do not place them in the microwave either. I pour the contents into a bowl or something. All the tomato stains have washed completely by hand or the dishwasher. The lids have a tendency to fly around in the dishwasher but have learned how to secure them in place and they clean just fine. Air drying is by far the best way to dry them - I also don't use the dry cycle on my dish washer - I just open the door and air dry everything to conserve electricity. To use this many containers at once you would need to have a deep freezer - it is a lot of storage capacity. I recommend these containers for quality, variety, and value. I also recommend using freezer tape instead of freezer labels to label the contents. See freezer tape on Amazon or my other reviews to find it.

I got these for home-made cat food. They have been frozen, thawed, and run through the dishwasher several times and are holding up very well. Lids still fit perfectly and surprisingly there is no staining! It will be a very long time before I need to replace these.

quality is very good and perfect for storing my chicken broth in freezer

This is the second purchase for Reditainers in three days! The first containers (we got the large ones, 32 oz) arrived so fast and they were so great that we ordered all the other sizes too. Now we have only Reditainers for all leftovers and freezer items. It fits great too, the fridge and freezer look so totally organized. We bought some freezer tape and everything is labeled with kind and date of making. God, I feel like Martha Stewart!! LOL.

Good product. Use them for pre-portioning and freezing meals. Works great for storing various items in fridge as well as they stack nicely. Durable quality for washing and reusing. Will definitely buy again.
