What is the best container for freezing and reheating?
I batch cook lunches for my husband and children to take with them to work and school. I portion everything, freeze it, then they reheat it in the same container. Right now I use Gladware, but I keep hearing about how unhealthy it is to microwave certain plastics. I don’t want to spend a ton of money since these containers can be broken or lost by the kids, but I’d rather spend some money than give them something that’s not good for their health – it would totally defeat the purpose of my making these lunches in the first place.
Amazon sells sets of Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids, which are listed as BPA free… Is this good? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Most any container with the food wrapped in foil will preserve and help to protect it from dehydration & freezer burn. I use both the rubbermaid type and zip-lock baggies.
Like that it’s BPA-free and has a super lid
