Starting today, each Friday I'd like to talk about the homemade frozen dinners I've been making. Some weeks I'll give recipes and reviews of how they fared as a frozen entree and other weeks it might be on a related topic.
This week, I'd like to showcase the storage containers I bought. They are made by Target (the chain's Up & Up brand). They came in multi-packs (I think there were four in each, maybe five) for less than $2. I love the price, and I like their shape, because its similar to that of the dishes in store-bought frozen dinners. So far, they've worked out pretty well, although I've since read some reviews online that say that they don't hold up well in a dishwasher. (We have one, but it doesn't work well so I do all of my dishes by hand.)
What I personally don't like about them is a problem I anticipated: Once you put something with tomato sauce in them, they are permanently stained red (as you can see in this photo).
When I went to the store looking for containers, I initially wanted glass because it washes so much easier than plastic. After I gave that further thought, though, I realized I probably didn't want a glass container banging around in my lunch box. I'm still on the lookout for something better, but for now, these will do.
