Exactly what I wanted for the microwave but it's plastic and gets stained from chili peppers, curry etc

I cook for one person and these sizes are perfect for reheating food, which I do often. Tops fit well. The only problem I've had with all plastic microwave utensils is that some foods leave a faint stain that I can't get out. The alternatives are Pyrex and Ceramic, which clean better but are heavy, and I'd rather live with a little discoloration in exchange for a really light, one-serving microwave dish.

Pros
  • Sample for a year
Cons
  • For the old

Calypso Basics for Microwave Safety

favorite color, works great in microwave. There is a small hole in the lid to allow the sleep to slide out. Works much better as a dump truck type container, won't take on the color of what you've heated in a microwave or blister pack. Just like the sizes.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Sturdy but easy to stain and mark

They have a great upper and are durable. I bought them in October. By January, two of them were "marked" with gross plastic stains on the underside and were impossible to clean. They have not been abused and never overheated. "Marks" like melted plastic.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things

Suitable for cooking, but not for meat or high temperatures.

Suitable for reheating veggies, but stains when reheating taco meat. I soaked and cleaned it but the plastic seems to have been damaged by heat. No problem as long as there is water in it when cooking. Also, they seemed smaller than I had hoped.

Pros
  • One-year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

The other two are about the size of a slice of cheese and the smallest about the size of a baby seat

They're beautifully made out of plastic and are great for reheating and serving food, but none of them are the standard casserole sizes. The largest is about the size of a small saucepan, but only a few inches deep. The other two are about the size of a slice of cheese and the smallest is about the size of a baby carrier. It might be a good size for a Smurf or the Seven Dwarfs, but not a human.

Pros
  • I'm looking forward to
Cons
  • The list is going to be long.
