Review on Reli. Meal Prep Containers (50 Pack) - 30 oz. Black 2 Compartment 🍱 Food Storage Containers with Lids - Microwavable Bento Box/Lunch Box Containers for Meal Prep by Derek Bates

I have been using Chinese restaurant take out containers as seed trays for several years and bought these trays to replace my clunky old flimsy black starter trays from general sellers. Transparent, high-domed lids ensure ideal humidity during germination. In fact, I never "close" the lids. I just leave the lids on the bottom of the dish for the first 1-2 days to retain moisture (making sure the inoculum mixture is moist beforehand) and rotate the lids slightly (relative to their bottom) on the 3rd or 4th day ). ensure air circulation. The biggest advantages of these containers are: (0) initial cost (1) handy size (small enough to be placed on a windowsill) (2) deep enough to be watered from below the tray; I use a turkey shower to gently pour the seeds from the sides of the pan; water at the bottom "pulls" the roots down (3) lasts much longer than traditional seed shooters; My old trays tended to crack and leak after only a few seasons as I also used the trays to store seedlings while the seedlings hardened on my porch. Since these pans are microwave safe, I reckon they hold up better in the sunlight than my old clumsy pans.
