The Meal Prep Containers That Got Me on Track
At some point this year I opened my freezer and a rogue bag of frozen soup cubes launched itself at my foot like it had something to prove.That was my sign.I needed actual containers. Real ones. Not the random collection of takeout tubs, mismatched lids, and “mystery containers” that look like they’ve lived three different lives.So I grabbed this 12-pack, hoping to finally become one of those organized people who labels soup and has matching lids like an adult.These are that perfect in-between size. Big enough for a solid bowl of chili or pasta, but not so huge that you end up with leftovers for a small village. I’ve been using them for everything: soups, cut fruit, meal prep lunches, leftover rice, even snacks. They’ve basically taken over my fridge in the best way.The twist lids are my favorite part. You know that tiny moment of fear when you toss a container in your bag and think, “Well… hope this doesn’t explode”? I don’t get that with these. You screw the lid on and it feels sealed. I’ve carried soup and saucy stuff around with zero leaks, which feels like a small miracle.They’re also freezer friendly, microwave safe (minus the lid), and dishwasher safe, which means I don’t have to baby them. I freeze stuff constantly and they don’t crack or warp like some cheaper plastic does. They just quietly handle the job.And the stacking situation? Chef’s kiss. When they’re empty, they nest together. When they’re full, they stack neatly. My freezer went from “frozen food avalanche risk” to “suspiciously tidy,” and I feel weirdly proud every time I open it.If you’re into meal prep, leftovers, or just want your kitchen to look less like a lid-matching puzzle game, these are super practical. Nothing flashy. Just sturdy, dependable containers that make life easier.Which, honestly, is exactly what I wanted.

Great storage.
The 12 pack reusable freezer storage containers are so handy. I use them all the time.They are made of a quality product and the lids close tightly. They are see through so easy to identify the contents.I recommend these to anyone that like to store small portions.

Mine leaked after heating.
I originally gave this five stars and was super happy to have these. But I have to reduce it to 3. The one I boiled water in is no longer leak proof. The lid won't seat properly. I tried multiple lids. Spilled pickle juice all over the kitchen. 🙁.These are nice sized at 3 cups each (the listed size is 23.5 ounce, but you probably need that extra space for freezing).I boiled water in one. There was no visible change in shape, but as noted above the twist on bits must have deflected enough to prevent the lid from seating properly. The outer rim was cool enough for me to remove from the microwave with my bare hand.I froze one. It held its shape and didn't leak.The containers nest together. They do require alignment because of the insets - that can be a little annoying when in a rush to put away dishes.The lids sort of nest. Not enough to keep them from falling over at the slightest brush of your hand.These are reasonably priced, but are probably not a good value if you are buying them to take to work for reheating. You will risk a mess in your lunch bag.

Fantastic for meal prep
I absolutely love this 12-pack of reusable food storage containers! The 23.5 oz size is perfect for portion control, prepping, and packing lunches. The compact round shape fits nicely in my fridge and freezer, and the airtight twist lids truly keep everything leakproof. No spills, even with soups and sauces. They’re freezer, microwave (without lid), and dishwasher safe, which makes them super convenient for everyday use. Plus, they’re made from BPA-free, food-grade material, so I feel good about using them for my family’s meals.What really stands out is how space-saving these containers are. They nest when empty and stack neatly when full, helping me keep my kitchen organized without clutter. They’re versatile too—great for storing leftovers, yogurt, snacks, and even ice cream. I’ve already recommended them as a thoughtful gift for friends who love meal prepping or just want to simplify their kitchen storage. Overall, these containers are durable, practical, and great for meal prepping!I noticed another reviewer had issues with leakage, so I decided to test mine to see how they performed. I grabbed 2 random containers, filled them with water and sat them upside down on a dry towel so it would be easier (and less messy) to detect and photograph any leaks. The 2 containers I picked did not lose a single drop of water. I'm not going to bother with the rest, I feel pretty confident in saying that the ones that I have, seal properly.

These containers are neither "leakproof" or "airtight" as advertised. Select a different product.
These containers were advertised as "leakproof" and "airtight" they are neither. Out of the twelve, put water in six of them and screwed on the lids. I shook each one gently and each one leaked. If the seal is water permeable then it must be air permeable as well.I suppose they are still usable but certainly not for long term freezer storage of any food stuffs. I will probably use them in my shop for holding small parts. It's a shame, I really wanted food storage containers.

They are Not Liquid Tight
These containers seem decently well built but I did a simple test of filling one with some water and inverting it and the water slowly leaked out. Being able to hold a liquid is really a bare minimum requirement for this sort of product. Now every time I use it I'll have to be very careful that they are upright when they go in the freezer. I will not be comfortable throwing this in a lunch box that might not stay upright the whole time.
