4U'LIFEMicrowavable Translucent Plastic Deli Container and Lid Combo Pack (32 OZ (PACK OF 8))

I put boiling sugar and it won’t peel off this thing is very good

I work in a kitchen and have experience the impressive durability of the quart containers we use. Hot, cold, freezer, microwave, rinse, wash and reuse: without fail. These are nowhere close to that same quality. All of them cracked within a few times use. Cannot stand any external pressure or pushing, delicate. Woke up the my contents leaked out into the fridge creating a mess and getting into other foods. CHEAP CHINA MADE PLASTIC. Didnt even make it to the microwave testing.

These 16 ozs. Microwavable Translucent Plastic Deli Container and Lid Combo Pack-12 Sets are not the thin plastic containers that easily crack that are used at grocery store delis. These are thicker plastic containers and lids that can be washed and reused over and over again without the container side cracking.

Love the size for meal prepping. Caution: these are very hard to open. Once you put that lid on… you have to use two hands and a flat surface to wrestle that lid off. Each time you hear a “click” sound indicating you’ve freed the lid from that part of the base, you slide your finger over to pull at the adjacent area and…. The first area reattaches. So you resort to just pulling, bending back, and ripping the lid off… which in some cases tears a strip of plastic from the tip of the base and drops it in the food. Of course, the plastic strip is clear, so you don’t see it in your food. I have microwaved clear plastic shards with my prepped food and later found them in my mouth or at the bottom of the container after eating my food. I love that these are so tightly sealed that I don’t worry about them spilling. But I hurt my hands & fingers trying to open them. Next time I’ll try another brand.

I run a craft business and use these to hold my super-fine loose glitters, sequins, and polymer clay slices. I find these the most practical size for my items especially when storing. Since my use does not require liquids not sure how effective they may be in that area but I do roughly open and close these things multiple times a week and I have for the past 6 months and they have not bent, broke, lost tightness, or spilled anything out. Also, these things have dropped multiple times even being packed heavy and still have maintained the same quality from first use to now.

I was looking for sturdy freezer containers, and these were described as such. However, they're not really made of heavy weight plastic as advertised. They're quite flexible and when used for freezing foods the polypropylene plastic becomes brittle. Once the contents are frozen, a small bump to the container can crack the plastic, especially the edges of the lids. Already I've had to throw away one base and one lid after just a single use in the freezer.These would be decent for dry goods or in the refrigerator for liquids, but definitely not in the freezer.
