NYHI 32 oz 20 Large Pack Square Clear Deli Containers with Lids Disposable BPA Free Plastic Food Storage Containers with Lids Airtight for Meal Prep Take Out Kitchen

great for freezing items... we use it for freezing fresh shrimp coming off the boat

I do a lot of pickling. After trying several different types of containers, I found these to be the most secure, price friendly, and overall just great! No leaks at all!!!

Container lids were delivered broken. Very cheaply made. I can’t use all of the containers.

My wife got tired of my beloved round classic 'delis' that were both purchased and saved from take out. She was/is concerned about the plastic issue, so I'm the exclusive user of these in our household. I bought these hoping the square shape for compactness in the fridge would overcome some of the plastic concerns. Other reviews on similar products seemed okay, so I took the chance. I first ordered the two smaller sizes offered by the brand. They seem to have more structural integrity. For some reason, these* feel* smaller or less voluminous than similar sized round delis. Not sure why that is, but it is just a feeling. Also, the plastic is more transparent, less cloudy but more brittle and less pliable. I mostly use these for packaging leftovers and light meal prep. I don't yet have experience with freezing them and I worry freezing them will make them more brittle. Also, I've been transferring food to separate containers for heating such as in the microwave. Pros are the shape, leakproofness, good sizes, seem to hold up in the dishwasher, stackable and nesting. Cons are fragility. I dropped the sleeve they came in from about a foot and 4 out of 20 cracked. Other cons are that the lids can get quite tight, difficult to get on (easier to get off) and having to remove the tamper proof tab for removing the lid and re-use. Also, the to of the containers have ridges in them and I could see particulate getting retained in there.

While not used for food storage, the containers were perfect for the assortment of art pens, markers and others.

They stack well, they fit together well, overall they are nice containers for food, though they have a bit of a smell to it we have not noticed it transferring to the food.

I cook a lot, and I tend to make larger meals. While there are only two of us here, I almost always make enough for two servings each. We've used everything from deli containers to cottage cheese or 32oz yogurt containers. The problem with those is that they need to be labeled with what's inside, and round containers take up more room in the refrigerator. These are square, which lets them fit better in the fridge, or dry foods on the shelf. The lids go on easily, just a firm press in the center of the lid and it pops on. I did try filling one 3/4 full with water, snapped on the lid and turned it upside down. No leaks! I had one other test I wanted to perform. I put the container of water in the sink and knocked it over. No cracks, no leaks! I don't know if they'd survive a drop, but I wasn't going to try dropping it on the floor. My next test was to put the water container in the freezer and let it freeze for several hours. The plastic never cracked. The containers are clear, so no labeling is needed. You can easily see what's inside and (I hate to say) if you forget about it in the back of the fridge, you can see if the food inside is starting to go bad. Once attached, the lid is difficult to remove, intentionally. This is a 'tamper-proof' feature. One corner of the top of the container is scored so that it can be bent down, allowing the corner of the lid easy access. One quick lift and the lid comes right off. They are made of clear, thick and flexible plastic. They are the same thickness as a standard deli container, and (so far) not prone to cracking. They are easily stackable with lids on or fitting inside each other for storage before use. And probably the best part; you get twenty of them! We could fill the fridge with them if we wanted to. Honestly, these things are something we've needed for years! They are available in several sizes; we got the 32oz because that is the size most convenient for the two of us. These are probably the most useful item we've gotten for food storage in years. Absolutely, five stars!

The lid cracked when i tried to close the lid. And the plastic container got melted with hot food.
