Review on 50 Blue KitchenDance Colored 1-1/2 Pound Take Out Pans With Plastic Lid 24 Oz. #6417P by Ken Gray

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's a Throwaway Aluminum Pan

I’ve used a couple of different aluminum meal prep containers over the years along with many plastic ones. I’ve gotten accustomed to prepping things that can be re-heated in an air fryer (because it’ll taste more freshly cooked) and so that always rules out being able to use plastic. Glass is heavy and I’d rather not. Therefore, these are the best option. I’m not a thousand percent sure how well the plastic lids on these would protect from freezer burning, but they do fine in the fridge. They’re thin, of course, so stacking isn’t going to go over super well if the food inside them is heavy, but still better than having to deal with plastic wrap or foil. These appear small online, but trust me. There's plenty of room in one for an adult sized meal.Now the elephant in the room. The colors. They’re cute and fun, but how important that is to you will depend on whether or not you want to pay extra for that feature. I do think that if you needed to color code different meals based off dietary needs while meal prepping, this would come in SUPER handy. Otherwise, it’s just aesthetic. Obviously, the more you buy, the cheaper they get, so it’s not a horrible price to pay for a colored tin you can toss when you’re done with it. I give them a 5. The lids are a little flimsy, but I’m not counting off for it because 1. If applied correctly, you shouldn’t have any issues with them and 2. These are throwaway, so structural integrity isn’t quite as important. Just my opinion…

Pros
  • Top outside (rim to rim): 8" x 5½" Top inside: 7½" x 5" Bottom dimensions: 7" x 4¼"
Cons
  • The price point of these takeout pans is higher than other similar products on the market, which may deter cost-conscious buyers
