meal prep containers

[mkbradford]

Hello, I was wondering what your favorite meal prep containers are and what about them makes them your favorite??

[Nicksosure1]

I throw all my food for the day into one big bowl, seal it, eat it throughout the day. Reuse it the next day and never wash it until my lifts plateau.




....Yeah I don't really have a favorite honestly. As long as it's size-appropriate and seals then I'm good to go.

Not really a container, but I use a cutting board alot. Cutting beef, shrimp, gator, chicken, duck, doves, squid, fish, vegetables,

I usually just buy whatever Costco has. Either the snaplock or glasslock. I kind of like the glass better in a way cause I can nuke my food right in the container. But the glass ones explode if you drop them, whereas the plastic survives falls. So I ended up with some of each.

If I can use foil or sandwich bags that I can toss that’s always preferred. I have a fridge in my office so often it’s a bagged salad mix, hard boiled eggs in foil not shelled, yogurt, fruit I just bring in for the week

If I have to pack food to go plastic Tupperware 1. If I lose it, it’s cheap to replace, doesn’t get hot in the microwave and doesn’t break

Whenever I have takeout I save the plastic containers, and I now have a cupboard full. They come in useful for refrigerating, freezing and carrying food in (things like meat, rice, beans, fruit, etc)

I've started using zip lock bags for freezing meat as they take up a lot less room in the freezer compared to containers.

Lol ^^

Plastic push to seal containers for sure. Cheap, cheerful, so cheap it doesn't matter if you lose them or they get stolen. Happy to just throw away if something in them goes to manky (sorry environment).

Honestly don't think about it too much though. When I'm poor/lazy I'll literally throw my lunch in a carrier bag like a hobo

Ive saved like yogurt containers (plastic ones with lids), and cottage cheese even deli meat plastic containers for sandwiches and reused those. It’s free Tupperware that’s slightly more eco friendly and if it gets stained from tomato sauce you can just toss them

A lot of my renters come to Kansas from Louisiana. The food here is pretty boring to them. So they bring big coolers with frozen Cajun and Coonass food. They usually give me some. I give them things like smoked Canada goose meat, which they can't get in Louisiana.

but, doves? also, isn't 'coonass' a racial slur?

Well, the upper-class hates it but the working class tends to use it as a badge of pride. So in other words...yes.

I see the word 'coon' and immediately im suspicious

The doves I shoot locally during the season. The Louisiana guys have told me that they are Coonass. It has a French or Canadian origin. It has nothing to do with a racoon or an azz.

[paulinkansas]

Cajun vs Coonass. That's sort of like that movie quote "We play both kinds of music here. Country and Western."

It's not connected with race per se but it's still an ethnic slur against Cajuns. It means "v*lva"...

I'm what we call a redass, a mix of redneck and coonass. Down here, the context in using coonass will deem it offensive or not. Just don't call us a couyon and everything will be fine. And now I'm off to find a healthy breading for some fried gator. There has to be something around here I can use. 😂
