I would like to get these to send dinners out to farm workers in the field- do they hold plenty of food?

Yes they are a good size. I use them for my lunch at work everyday, plenty of room with three divided compartments.

Big guys with big appetites might need two of these - more like 1-1/2, which might be difficult. You can compress the food, mash it down, and that helps. My husband is 6'1" weights 210. He often eats only one if it contains beef and pasta which is very filling. I put additional food in small used margarine containers. Sometimes salads in a Mason Jar...easier to add dressing and shake.

For an adult it might not be enough. Depends on how big the adult is. I purchased this for my son meals to the babysitter

Each small section holds about a cup of food. The larger section is plenty big to hold a chicken breast size portion. We use them for lunches and dinners on the go.

No. They are the cardboard? type material you would get if you were picking berries at a farm. They are sturdy, look just like the photo. Worked great for me. I used to hold S'mores for my kiddos camping party.

Yes, the information booklet I received mentioned they were good for backpacking. The packets serve about two meals. I have been cooking with them for a few weeks, but have not used them over a fire. They do have individual purchases rather than an entire set if you are looking for something more specific. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately not. It would be so much better if they were! You better have all your food ready because the absorbers have a shelf life once they are opened.

Yes. Have been using them for six years. They do NOT last more than a year however. But they ate better than anything I can find!

Yes they go inside the bag. There are many prepper websites that can guide you in how many you need per bag depending on what you are storing and how much product is in the bag. They are used mostly for dry foods such as beans and rice.

Yes, they are tall enough to hold the soup, and I would definitely use them for a dish I am serving a sample of or small portions of.

Absolutey-That's what I have them for....but it's only a 72 hour ration per pack for one person, so if you have a family- would need one per member. It's a start for my bugout food supply anyway

Unfortunately not. They are well made and can stand up to a lot of weather. My wife and I have used them on many occasions for backyard parties and are always pleased with how they look. However, when storing they take up a lot of space depending on how many you have.

I would think so. They would hold a lot of small mints. It just depends on how you plan to use them. I was having a "de stress" party, and had two kinds of chili, plus slaw on the side. I put the slaw in the mini cube. They were perfect for a small serving and it looked nice too.

Yes. they are great for traveling too. I just place them in a box that I can put them in with ease and take them out with easily. I think they are great! especially for cookouts.

I've used them to hold soy sauce, ranch, and bbq sauce. They have never popped open or leaked. HOWEVER, part of the lack of leaking/popping open when used for soy sauce might be because of how I pack them. When I use them for soy sauce the meal always includes rice, right? So I cram the little closed container full of soy sauce into the center of the packed rice (once it has cooled down to room temp) inside the lunch box container. The rice keeps them well in place, and if they ever did leak (which they haven't, but if they did), it will get on the rice anyway, so it would be fine. Just an idea that might be helpful, in case you're worried about it. I've used them to hold soy sauce, ranch, and bbq sauce. They have never popped open or leaked.

They may look thin but are quite durable. We use them on countertop are they work great. They are different colors so there would be no cross contamination between fish, chicken, beef and your veggies.

By all means yes... just give them the right environment. Avoid the anaerobic/stinky/mushy environment and they'll produce. I purchased a second worm farm and scooped some from the first and that one is fully populated.

Yes. These are freeze dried and delicious. They last a long time, too. After I bought this package, I went and bought the quart sized beans and fruit. The fruit makes the best smoothies! You will have no trouble backpacking with these as they are very light weight.

Yes! We have used them for several dinners at the Crown Winery and they are terrific....not at all like paper plates!Rita Howard

No these are not quite fine enough, however if you search the site for a muslin produce bag, those are quite sturdy and should protect the produce from flies.
