Freezer containers (merged threads)

If you've got any Asian supermarkets locally you'll be able to buy the plastic takeaway containers, I think my nearest sells them about £1.60 for 10 (Or £20 for 500 if you're on a real marathon :eek:).

Mine get used loads and rewashed easily.

I got some freezer to microwave tubs from Lakeland for Christmas which are great, as I take frozen soup to work to heat up. They stack up and they have them in different sizes.
For stuff I'm using at home I'll usually use freezer bags, old icecream containers, and old tupperware containers that came second hand from my grandma. For stuff like filo pastries I freeze them on a plate, and then transfer to a bag when frozen to save space.

Morning all,

Does anyone know where I can get alot of them plastic containers that chinese takeaways use...without having to buy lots of takeaways, lol,

Its just that my family are moving house soon and Im being very good here and thinking ahead for a change and want to do some batch cooking to pop in the freezer cos my mind won't be on slaving away in the kitchen cooking meals from scratch!

I think someones mentioned Costco before but you have to be a member to shop there?

Any help appreciated.

You can get them in Costco -100 for £5. That's where all the takeaways get their's from.
