CARTINTSRound Collapsible Bowls with Lids, Reusable Silicone Food Storage Containers, 3Pack 350-500-800ML, Stackable Space Saving, Microwave and Freezer Safe, Meal Prep Container

Great for space saving. I bring this to work and it saves so much space in my work bag. Easy to clean.

These storage containers are a game-changer for me.There's a lot to like about them:-They are great space savers. I keep them in a drawer stacked on top of each other. No fussing about what to do with lids.-They go from fridge to microwave, to table. (great for leftovers) I serve out of them when it's just the two of us eating. The lids help keep food warm if we're not quite ready to eat.-I love the way that they stack in the fridge, and the different colors help me remember what I put in them.-They wash beautifully in the dishwasher.I like them so much that I ordered two more sets in different sizes, and plan on gifting some to my daughter who has a very small kitchen.

Colorful, and compact. The tops fit on the containers very well. One caution is the container can bend in on the side. So if stacking, keep the higher ones less heavy so all stay upright. Overall these are well worth getting.

CARTINTS’ Round Collapsible Bowls with Lids, Reusable Silicone Food Storage Containers, 3Pack 500-800-1200ML are my second set of bowls from Cartints. The first set, all larger bowls the same size, worked so well, I decided to get this set with smaller bowls of different sizes. We use a lot of the smaller size bowls at my house. I’ve also been doing a major purging and reorganization blitz, so I’ve been replacing old items with more efficient ones.What I love best about these bowls are how little space they take up in the cabinet and that you can store the lids on the bowls. I’m not having to forage for a matching lid and bowl anymore. It’s amazing how annoying something that small can be.The second best thing about these bowls is they are silicone. I’ve become a diehard silicone fan for kitchen items. It washes so easily, doesn’t stain, holds up in the microwave and freezer and is dishwasher safe if I want to clean them that way. What’s not to love? These bowls have a removable plug to vent the bowl when using it in the microwave. Just keep tabs on it if you remove it. It is small and doesn’t remain attached to the bowl.The lids are fairly easy to put on and take off. That said, they are collapsable, so there is a bit of a learning curve to doing it without having the bowl collapse on you. I hold just the rim of the bowl and lid. You don’t want to be pushing down on the top of the lid. I have been able to stack these bowls on top of each other in the frig without them collapsing.They have a pretty good seal and are keeping my food fresh. They are completely airtight though. They will leak if turned over with liquid inside.When all is said and done, I am a fan of these bowls.

When I saw these, I decided to break my new rule to get only glass containers for leftovers. These are silicone, however, and of course not single use. It was being able to store the empty containers flat that intrigued me. I have been recycling dozens of mismatched plastic containers without lids, and lids with no containers. However, my first attempt to store some soup for my husband's lunch almost came to disaster! I decided to take out the little plug so he could microwave it, and poof! all the air went out and it suddenly collapsed. Fortunately, it was not completely full of soup so I didn't have soup squirting all over the counter. Later, I had difficulty snapping the lids on without also collapsing the bowls. I found you have to find a way to secure the bowl while pushing the rim of the lid to snap it in place or it will collapse. The little plugs are also a problem. Any time a appliance or gadget has some little extra gizmo and no place right there to store or secure it, it is almost sure to get lost. I can see these little plugs getting lost, and they are extremely difficult to put back in once you take them out. So, congratulations product designer on a great idea. However, you need to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to keep the bowl from collapsing , and also find a way to attach the little plug so it doesn't get lost.

We downsized a lot, so I was looking for collapsible bowls. My hubby take his lunches to work and till now none of them leaked. They are microwaveable, easy to clean and saves lots of space!

I have only used the large one so far but if they work out as well as I think I will order more.

I use this in another country in replace of the plastics and styrofoam containers that the street food venders was giving out.
