After using these for a while (and reheating food in them), I found that two of my lids have warped slightly, which makes only two (opposing) sides clip down snugly, while the other two sides won’t stay down. They still work, but the flaps sticking out on the sides that don’t clip down annoy me and make me nervous about spills. I prefer the “Lock & Lock” type — I haven’t had the same problem with them.

I now cook all my own food for health concerns ( no more commercially grown meats and vegetables for me — so I rarely eat out in restaurants.
For efficiency purposes, not only do I pack a day’s worth of food to take in with me to work — but I do 90% of my cooking and preparation for the week on Sunday.
I realized I was going through a couple of dozen plastic bags of various sizes every week — and the ecology of it was too disturbing.
And though Emsa products like this are also plastic, I use them over and over and they have a 30 year guarantee.
So I started ordering some of one size and then others. I even have begun to get rid of my old plastic containers because I have discovered how fresh the Emsa containers keep my food compared to the more traditional brand name plastic containers.
So I have 1/2 – 3/4 a dozen of about every size and am buying those that I don’t.
Just a tip — I found that the square and rectangle ones are far more efficient than the round ones. You can fit more containers in your cooler bag that are square or rectangle than you can with round ones. I haven’t bought any round ones yet. I may for “decorative purposes — as round is certainly more pleasing to the eye — but only if I am convinced if I will use them frequently enough to justify the consumption of the plastic.
