Product Overview
The Reshware Meal Prep Containers were made to prepare your meals individually then store and transport those same portions of food. This is a 50-pack of the Reshware Meal Prep Containers which consist of the black rectangular container and the clear lid. They will help you plan and cook your meals for the week, keep your leftovers cold longer, as well as be great for packing lunch for work, school or on-the-go and keeping them frozen until ready.
They are also very easy to use by stacking them in your refrigerator, freezer and/or pantry/cabinet. These Reshware Meal Prep Containers were created to withstand daily use from day-to-day when it comes to portioning out your food for storage, but they are light enough that you can easily pack them up to go.
Customers Say
Many of our customers describe the Reshware containers as very useful for planning out their meals for a week. A number of them said they like the fact that the larger quantity allows for multiple days worth of food to be prepared at one time.
The fact that the Reshware containers have a vertical stacking design makes many of our customers appreciate how much space you can save in your refrigerator and freezer by having all of your containers stacked on top of each other. The transparent lids allow you to easily view what is stored within each container, without having to open every single one.
Our customers frequently state that they find the Reshware containers to be helpful with planning their lunch, storing leftovers, controlling portions, and when doing batch cooking. Our customers tend to describe the size of the Reshware containers as ideal for preparing individual meals.
A majority of our customer's criticism focuses around issues associated with how well the lids will seal over time. Several of our customers stated that the lids on their Reshware containers were stiff/tight upon initial use but became even tighter/harder to close after repeated uses. Other customers complained about the plastic cracking from being mishandled, or due to extended use.

Bottom Line
The best reason to choose Reshware is because of the convenience they provide when you have many family members preparing their own meals in advance or when you frequently store leftovers. The advantages of these containers include having a very large 50 pack quantity, being able to be stacked upon one another, having clear lids, and each container has an individual portion size. Disadvantages include having light weight plastic and there was a mixed report on how durable the lids were if used over and over again.
