Ello Plastic 3.7 Cup Meal Prep Container 🍽

This set of five meal containers from Ello keeps packed lunches organized and helps extend freshness for daily meal prep. With each plastic box holding 3.7 cups, the set is convenient for portioned meals and snack storage, offering dishwasher and freezer compatibility for easy routine use.

Key Points

The containers include secure locking lids that aim to reduce spills and maintain freshness during transport. According to the manufacturer, the plastic resists stains and odors, which makes cleanup simpler and reduces lingering smells after repeated use. Removable thick silicone boots add a layer of protection against bumps and make the containers easier to stack and handle, while also introducing color to your pantry. 🍱

These lids are BPA-free and designed to be used in the freezer and in the dishwasher top rack. For reheating, the body of the containers can be used in the microwave without the lid present. Consider that the lids should not be microwaved and that very oily or highly pigmented foods may still require a little extra cleaning effort.

Benefits

These Ello containers are practical for weekly meal prep, office lunches, and storing leftovers. The compact 3.7 cup capacity balances a single meal portion and versatile storage needs, reducing food waste by making leftovers easier to keep. The removable silicone boots cushion the containers against accidental drops and help prevent scratches on surfaces. Also, being able to place pieces in the top rack of the dishwasher saves time after a busy day. 🧊

Colors and the protective boots make it simple to assign meals to family members or to distinguish different contents at a glance. The locking lids are helpful when transporting meals in bags, backpacks, or lunch boxes, lowering the chance of leaks during the commute.

Usage Recommendations
