Glass vs. stackable vs. the free deli tubs. A month of honest testing.

A container is storage, a transport pod and a microwave dish, and most of them are good at exactly one of those things. I ran the same six meals through glass, stackable plastic and the free deli tubs for a month and logged what leaked, what stained and what survived the dishwasher’s top rack. The winner was not the expensive one, which is the only interesting result gear tests ever produce.
