New York Post I spent a bit as a private chef in NYC. Guests and clients, whether out of interest or politeness, often asked what my secret tool was. Was it the expensive copper pot on the stove or some high-speed $1,000 blender? The truth either had them leaning in or recoiling and regretting asking me: Stacks of 16-ounce deli containers.
From marinating to quick-pickling, storing to emulsifying dressings, these were the humble heroes of every successful gig…or meal I made at home for that matter. I’ve used them as drinking glasses and makeshift cocktail shakers, and even “roadie” vessels post pre-game.
Right now, you can snag my favorite 50-set of Freshware containers for 30% off on Amazon, and trust me, once you experience the zen of a perfectly uniform refrigerator, freezer and spice cabinet, you will never go back to mismatched plastic again.
The Freshware Food Storage Containers (50 Set) are professional-grade, 16-ounce plastic deli containers designed for heavy-duty kitchen use. These BPA-free vessels are microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe, featuring a stackable design and leakproof lids that make them ideal for meal prep, soups or even hobbyist uses like slime storage.
A compact powerhouse that turns your morning routine into a 60-second ritual, effortlessly pulverizing kale and frozen fruit into silk.
