Love these for shipping baked goods to loved ones, and not so loved ones during the holidays.

Meh--poor offering tonight. You can easily find BPA-free containers like these at the dollar store now.

I have some of this design (I don't know if they're the same maker), and sometimes the lids don't fit right. They're either too hard to get on, or worse they won't stay latched. I'm not saying -these items- have that problem, it's a general observation on the latch.

Say what?

These are most excellent for use as Geocache containers!

lol, seriously? i bought some of these a while ago and haven't gotten to use them, but they always sell out so quickly that i was about to jump on it again... why? i have no idea.

looks like i wasn't the only one who thought the exact same thing

What are the odds they contain a magic Gennie?

Don't trust everything you get at the Dollar store...people didn't buy that stuff in the first place for a reason you know.

That's what we get them for, too!

According to the Wootdar. Texas bought all of them. We expect you to be mailing all of us left over bbq with all of those containers.

these are way better than the Pop-and-Lock containers I have which are always trying to dance.

I make giant ice cubes with mine!

Are these microwave safe?

Hooray!!! Something to store all that Halloween candy that I'm going to steal from my kids in....

WooHoo!! I got one

Only one? I didn't want any, anyway, Woot. Do you hear me??

Oh, no, wait. There are more. Forget it, Woot. You had your chance, but it's gone now. You can't tease me like this and expect me to stick around.

Until tomorrow, that is.

Particularly when the Axle F theme is playing.

What happened to the Slumberjack Emergency Cot? I'm sure I looked at 1:01 and it was there and now it's plastic storage containers?

Now that they have stock, it's not nearly as appealing a purchase. The charm of being the only one with a 19 million dollar plastic ware set has been lost.

$45.50 at the mother ship

As I clicked & scanned thru the photos connected to the Woot description at 1st I thought I saw food items in the containers, but then it started looking like office supplies in them.

Is this for food or NON-food items, or for both???

If for food, then are these microwave safe or not?

EDIT: I see in the description about them being stackable in the "cupboard, refrigerator and freezer" so I see they are for food.

I already own this set but i just bought another two. Yes Microwave Safe and Yes Dishwasher Safe!

Are these guys the ones that are glass and have plastic lids, or the ones that are all made out of plastic?

in for three and wishing i could buy more! this is a good deal (as usual). real lock & lock brand storage containers merit their sterling reputation--they are truly airtight and watertight; they work fantastically in the microwave, fridge, and freezer; they are BPA free; and they last for a long time. lock & locks are perfect for virtually any storage need. seriously. i can't believe i'm writing so much about containers, but these are great...

The description says its microwave safe for reheating purposes only...not for cooking

Also, don't lock the lids on while reheating unless you like to see food explosions in your microwave

These are great containers. I have owned a few of them in the past and always wanted a whole set, but they have gotten increasingly more difficult to find. The ones I have are marked freezer, dishwasher, and microwave safe.
Excellent for travel if your food might decide to turn upside-down in whatever bag or case it is in.

Tupperware, Tupperware, Tupperware!

There, I said it and I'm proud I did.


This are good for holding batteries, nuts, bolts, transistors, diodes, thumb drives, duct tape, and spare fingers for those days when you just can't keep it all together.

Lock & Lock are Fantastic. Have had some over 10 years and they have never broken. Yes -Dishwasher & Microwave safe.

What does it mean it is microwave safe for reheating only?

In other words.. don't put it in the microwave for an hour to cook your pork tenderloin (Why you would do that in the first place is beyond me... but I suspect some wooters are guilty of it).

All Plastic

All plastic. That's why it says BPA free.

i've never seen a lock & lock explode, but when i first started microwaving in them, i neglected to loosen the top of one and had it permanently seal itself together. bye-bye dinner and container! lesson learned... <=|

p.s. lock & locks really do work well in the microwave; just don't use a lid when you reheat, or turn the lid upside down.

These are for food items.

They are "microwave-safe", but no plastic is completely safe at high temperature. Heat your items carefully and you should be fine. But any heat will accelerate plastic degradation.

Does BPA pose a risk to human health?

Safety assessments of bisphenol A (BPA) conclude that the potential human exposure to BPA from polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins is more than 400 times lower than the safe level of BPA set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This minimal level of exposure to BPA poses no known risk to human health.

The use of polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins for food contact applications has been and continues to be recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the European Commission's Scientific Committee on Food, the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency, and other regulatory agencies worldwide.



Am I exposed to BPA from polycarbonate plastics?

Researchers from government agencies, academia, and industry worldwide have studied the potential for bisphenol A (BPA) to migrate from polycarbonate products into foods and beverages. These studies consistently show that the potential migration of BPA into food is extremely low, generally less than 5 parts per billion under conditions typical for uses of polycarbonate products. At this level, a consumer would have to ingest more than 1,300 pounds of food and beverages in contact with polycarbonate every day for an entire lifetime to exceed the safe level of BPA set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Consequently, human exposure to BPA from polycarbonate plastics is minimal and poses no known health risk.

The use of polycarbonate plastic for food contact applications continues to be recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the European Commission Scientific Committee on Food, the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency, the Japan Ministry for Health and Welfare and other regulatory authorities worldwide.
