Review: These containers are more stable and solid than the flimsy clunch containers I once bought (and have since lost) from Jewel. Despite the sturdiness and the roominess for the rice and beans I prepared, these containers have a bit of a problem sealing shut. The lids are just as stable as the container, and therein lies the problem. Lids for plastic containers need to possess a bit of give in order to allow the burping of excess air inside as well as the elastic grip of the lip of the container. When I got to work today, I found that one corner of my rice and beans was spilling due to the stiff stubborness of the all-too-well made space age wonder material we know as plastic. Hopefully after a few uses and washes, these containers will come into their own and keep my food fresh so I don't have to buy another set. If I wanted disposable containers, I'd use a couple of paper plates and some masking tape.

It seems that hanging on to those Joy Yee takeout containers was a great idea.
