Hotam Brand Food Containers with Compartments, Meal Prep, 3 Compartment,36 Oz, BPA Free, Reusable, Durable, Stackable, Microwavable & Dishwasher Safe, Leak Resistant, Pack of 7

Does not stay closed. This is the first time I've purchased this type of product and this brand in particular. I made my meal for the next few days and placed it into 3 containers. I made sure to close all of the lids firmly with both hands while applying even pressure to the lid and sides. It seemed secure so I decided to pick it up and tilt it on its side. The liquid slowly began to fill up in the small crevices where the lid meets the container and looked like it was about to leak. After this, I opened the side with the biggest section and it came off way too easily. I've included a video just to show how easily the lid came off (video would not post but here's a screenshot). It was able to be opened with my index finger. Very dissatisfied with this product. I've been using old Tupperware containers, but didn't want to carry three into my backpack while going to work so this seemed like a good solution. Couldn't have been more wrong.

Lids don't really seem to "snap" close

Just what I needed

These are great for meal prep. I really like the idea of 1 container for separate foods. It is sturdy and I will get a lot of use from it. Love being able to take lunch in one container instead of several.

Lids don't stay on as well as I had hoped but the portion control is what we needed. Just don't stick them in your lunch box if it might tip.

These are not a watertight seal on these containers. The packaging states leak resistant, which I find hard to believe if you were to tip it in any direction other than flat. They are dishwasher safe and microwave safe, which is a huge plus for my husband as he'll use these for taking his lunch to work. I like that these have 3 compartments for different foods. The size of them is very nice as is the fact that they all stack neatly together to not take up a ton of space.Note: I am making this review on my own accord with my honest opinions.

I ordered these meal prep containers because they're very similar to another brand I had ordered in the past. I've used the other brand now for about 6 months now. I prep all of my meals for the week on sunday nights so these containers have seen heavy use, including microwaving and dishwashing. They held up very well and I've been happy with them. This set of containers is even better! They're a little thicker than my previous ones, they also have small tabs on each corner of the lid for easy opening. The lids are very easy to remove but they don't just fall off. The size of each container and how the portions are sectioned off works out perfect for all of my meals. The food inside stays in the compartment it was put in because the lid fits perfectly into the grooves of the container. I know a lot of big and little people that don't like their food to touch and this is a great way to remedy that type of situation. When stacked they stay together, so there are no accidental spills in the fridge. Food stays fresh and when I re-heat food in the microwave the food doesn't stick or stain the box, a rarity in my experience. I used to dread meal prep, trying to find the right containers and enough of them then measuring out the proper portions but this set is absolutely perfect and already does most of the work for me. I take these straight from the fridge and into the microwave they go, no need for extra containers. I will be ordering a second set of these for sure.I've been wanting to try these boxes out for a while now, and there are so many brands to choose from. After reading many reviews, I chose this brand and I'm really glad I did. I was immediately impressed with the heavy duty quality of these boxes. I have started to do a lot of meal prep in my efforts to cut out fast food, get healthy, and lose weight These are perfect for that. There are 3 separate compartments that are fairly deep and I really love how the lid is formed to secure each section individually. The lid colors are really attractive and I like that they offer options for those who don’t want neon colors. Definitely try these out if you’re into meal prepping, have children you pack lunches for, or even if you just want to pack up leftovers neatly to keep them fresh and ready to eat.

These are great containers for packaging meals to eat later. I used them for the first time when visiting family for Thanksgiving. I loved that there were three separate sections separating the food. I was able to travel back home with perfectly portioned food and was able to warm it up in the micro wave and enjoy Thanksgiving all over again. Will use these again when I go back to my brother's for Christmas. I plan on using them regularly to prepare meals for myself all at one time. I hate to cook and if I have to do it I will cook many meals in one day and these are perfect for storing & freezing those meals
