deli containers

I love when I get deli containers with takeout. Our favorite Chinese restaurant delivers my egg drop soup in one, and I’m always holding on to it after, washing it and stashing it in the cupboard because these things are just so useful. So imagine my delight at getting an entire set!

These containers are perfect for big family dinners. I can use them as prep bowls to get all my ingredients ready ahead of time (and when it comes to chopping veg, I can even do some the day before, toss a lid on, and let it sit in the fridge until I need it). I can use them after the dinner, to send leftovers home with everyone. I love that there are 3 sizes, so it’s easier to grab the right size for the job. And this set comes with lids for everything, so there’s no searching through the cabinet for the right lid to fit some random plastic container.

They are leak-proof and can go in the top shelf of your dishwasher safely. They can even go in the freezer, so leftover soups and gravy are easy to store. And since the containers are all the size, they’re easy to organize in the pantry, in the fridge, in the freezer, or in the to-go bags of my guests after a big family meal. And if I want to feel particularly chefy, I can use it to drink water (or whatever) while I cook.

I love these deli containers. They make prep easier, make leftovers easier, and make it all look more sophisticated and classy.
