Review on ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Convenient Microwave Food Storage Tray - 3 Section/Compartment Divided Plates with Vented Lid (Assorted Colors) by Emily Oakes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Another tool to reduce the amount of single-use plastic

I've been using Pyrex bowls with lids to transport leftovers for a long time, but couldn't find anything similar for plates until I found this. I really like these plates with lids. I love the colors and the design. I haven't had any problems with leakage (although I haven't tried them with "juicy" leftovers yet). They are a good size (bigger than I thought) and easy to clean. (They're supposed to be dishwasher safe (top shelf), but I only hand wash so far.) I love the vented lids that allow me to take them straight from the fridge to the microwave. The main reason I'm giving it four stars and not five stars so far is because the plates say they can't be microwaved at high power and shouldn't be heated for more than 2 minutes, but that's often not enough to heat up . . food inside. I've had no problems with the plates overheating or melting if I heated them for more than 2 minutes (when reheating), although I did stir in between to reduce hot spots. However, I find this warning somewhat disturbing. Also, the plates are deeper than I thought so they take up quite a bit of shelf space, but that's not the main issue.

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something
