  1. The act of putting prepped food or leftovers in a reusable plastic container to store in the fridge is such a concept of westerners. For the majority of us living in the east, that just always has been a way of doing things. Sweetshops and bakeries here give you stuff in deli containers that you later reuse for household usage. This just feels like an extension of the historical practice of the west borrowing common sense from the east and making it look extravagant and revolutionary.

  2. Deli containers are really functional, but they are meant to be disposable even though you can reuse them for a good while. You might as well get plastic container with similar profile that's meant to be durable or maybe even wide mouth glass jars that can also be used for preserving food or doing stuff like fermentation.
    And they come in big patches usually so you are buying a lot of plastic. I know these deli containers are all rage now on YouTube food category, but I'm not really fan. It's especially weird when some creators who are all about reducing wastage and natural stuff use these 😀

  6. To be honest, those look very impractical due to the round body and you also have to pop a sticker onto them? How are you going to get the sticker off when you want to clean the thing? Also, they look like cheap plastic that would probably leak chemical softener into your foods. Just get the glass kitchen storage from Ikea, they're see through and stackable and furthermore, they're square, so you don't loose any storage space in your cupboard.

    That said—the initial notion of having a storage system of ingredients really is a game changer!

  8. I brought this idea to my partner and she nixed it due to them being plastic. I love the one lid to rule them all but we need a glass system like this. I suppose mason gars is all I got.

  9. I’ve used deli containers. I’m not a fan. Just because a restaurant does something doesn’t mean it’s good for a home cook. Restaurants go throw a ton of food so they can just toss a container. Deli containers are cylindrical. Deli containers don’t hold up to reuse as do other storage containers. I prefer square Cambro and Oxo. You can also label these. I would suggest picking one or two manufacturers for easier stacking.

  11. What kind of fridge do you have? We now have 2 in my smalish kitchen, 1 must GO or we must get 1 big one. I thought the bigger 1 I bought would replace the other, but husband will not take it out. It can live in our garage but so far he won't move it…

  17. You’ve gotta be trolling right?

    Deli containers are only a good emergency substitute when you don’t have extra real storage containers left. Because deli containers are not air tight, moisture get inside the container, and things spoils way more quickly. These plastic also warp like crazy after you wash and use them a several times. Just get air tight glass containers like a normal person, more sustainable and less plastic.

  18. Throw out all your Tupperware – expensive plastic designed for long term food storage? And replace it with deli containers – cheap and disposable not meant for long term storage plastic? Where's your weed container….because you're smoking something funny…

  20. And you get an added benefit of all the chemicals that have leached out in the food in your plastic containers! They are not easily recyclable, they end up floating in our oceans! He has a lot more to learn!

  25. I save all my glass jars, big marinara, tiny pesto jars, oddly shaped olive ones. I label them as well as put the date on them those items that may expire. I a million times advocate using recycled glass jars that just would have ended up in the landfill versus buying more single use plastic that never biodegrades.

  31. Those plastic containers are constantly emitting plastic to the contained food – so you are literally eating plastic! You should rather contain all that food in little glas jars, it's for your own health

  34. I do this too. I buy fresh onion, bell pepper, and celery, chop and freeze it for recipes later in these containers. My wife thought I was crazy, until I started taking over cooking duty.

  39. I saw bulgur wheat @ 0:58 in an impractically tiny container. This makes no sense – you buy bulgur by the pound and use it cupfuls at a time. It makes me doubt the effectiveness claimed. Don't get me wrong, these containers are a nice idea, but the video lacked a bit of credibility due to this one issue.
