They are indeed convenient. I think glass is better though

Yes I do use plastics as food containers. I learned this from my mother. It was against the law to throw away such places while I was younger.

I tend to use glass containers these days, especially with microplastics being found everywhere.

If I can avoid it I avoid plastic containers, I feel they stain easily and they are also not easy to wash or maintain. I prefer glass any day. Even though more expensive they last forever.

When I can I much prefer using glass containers to store leftovers. It doesn’t absorb the harsh chemicals in plastics and I feel like it lasts longer.

im not the biggest fan of it. Glass is always better, but it isn't always easy to have glass containers for work or to travel. Glass is really expensive unfortunately.

I do occasionally. It is cheap. I usually place my food into bowls and cover them with a plastic bag. It works all the same.
Be yourself and dream big; maybe it won’t be a dream one day :tiphat:
