I would personally use something like the OXO locktop containers for leftover meals. These are more for dry vertical storage. They can be used in the fridge or freezer, but are not dishwasher safe. The locktop containers are designed more for leftovers/lunches.

I don't know of any similar products that are easier to clean. These can be used for leftover meals, however I find they are pain to clean after one use because you have to remove 3 pieces under the lid and hand wash and dry everything. The rubber edge is the only piece dishwasher safe. The other reply with the Locktop containers is a great solution. I might buy those myself.

There is no reason you can't use OXO storage containers in the refrigerator. I use them often, there great! They are easy to wash by hand. I see no problems other then not using the dishwasher.

there is a rubber seal that goes around each lid to keep your item fresh. they seem to make a nice seal and would work great for like storing flour and sugar and whatever else you may decide to put in them.

You would need to buy a thermal container. Most bento boxes (like this one) are just plastic (usually microwavable) or metal (not microwavable) containers.

No, these bags just fold shut. Since there is no air-tight seal or actual closure, I would not recommend using these bags to freeze food.

This probably isn't what you're looking for. I don't think the slots are wide enough for lids other than canning lids. Maybe one of the coated shelving stackable units you can buy in kitchen sections of department stores would meet your needs?

These containers are not insulated. You could put yoghurt in them, it seals pretty well, but you would have to put them in with ice or "blue ice."

That would be a no. They aren't similar to squeezable yogurt containers. Their use requires a frozen food item over a non frozen because of the design of the opening. You would have to use a spoon to eat the yogurt out cause it's so big.

The containers are designed for use in the refrigerator. We do not recommend using in the freezer.

i actually use a quart container that you can find at smart and final or costco, that you put food in the refrigerator, like salads or soups. but i put water in it and freeZe it. it is perfect for the machine,

I found a very large glass container with a screw top lid and store them in that. Storing them in the fridge or freezer is also effective.

I would go to a foodie website and ask and/or purchase containers made especially for food. Ie ACF or CIA. It is not advertised for food and there is probably the answer.

I think any fairly air tight container would work. One nice thing about these is the height allows me to mix and store in the same container. If it was much smaller, this wouldn't work and I'd have to dirty up two things to make dough.

Don't open them until you need them. Take out,what you need then place the rest in the freezer. I would only freeze them once, use the frozen ones one time and discard the rest Reorder new ones. They are not that expensive.

I am told that this is possible. I think it would be the best. The directions told me to leave the lids off of these little jars, and I ended up with teenie, tiny jars half full of two spoons of yogurt. Your method sounds better. I would personally try it with a glass jar with a lid. I hope others chime into your question, because I do not use it for the problem I stated above. I would try it again, maybe, if this would work. I am very disappointed in this product.

I had a plastic bucket from wheat I bought from another company. I put them in that. You could probably use a large tupperware container or flour canister.

No. These are not intended to be storage containers. These are serving containers for things such as water on a dining table.Their size is not conducive to refrigerators or storage shelves as they are quite tall in order to hold a larger quantity of water, etc.

Looks like you've got some good answers! I don't have a very good set up to do that due to a kitchen planning flaw that doesn't allow the freezer door to open fully. *sigh*
