Clear Plastic Takeaway Containers

500ml Plastic Food Container & Lid x 50 is a practical set of reusable food storage containers for portioning, preparing and organising meals and ingredients. Each container has a 500ml capacity and comes with a matching lid, giving you a useful medium-sized format for everything from leftovers and meal prep to sauces, soups, fruit and individual portions.

The containers can go from freezer to microwave when used correctly, making them particularly handy for preparing food ahead of time. Their clear plastic construction also makes it easy to see what is inside without opening every container, while the dishwasher-safe design keeps cleaning straightforward.

  • 500ml capacity per container.
  • Supplied as a pack of 50 containers with lids.
  • Microwave safe.

  • Fill individual pots with chopped fruit, yoghurt, overnight oats or other breakfast favourites for quick grab-and-go portions.
  • Use the containers to organise leftover sauces, stocks, dressings and prepared ingredients in the fridge or freezer.

How much food does a 500ml container hold?

A 500ml container holds half a litre by volume. The actual weight of food it can accommodate varies considerably depending on the ingredient, but this size is useful for individual portions, side dishes and smaller quantities of prepared ingredients.

Should the lid be left on when microwaving a plastic food container?

Unless the lid is specifically designed for vented microwave heating, it is best to loosen or remove it before microwaving. This allows steam to escape rather than building pressure inside the container.

Why are 500ml containers useful for batch cooking?

The medium size makes it easy to divide a larger recipe into manageable individual portions before chilling or freezing. Portioning food in advance also means you only need to defrost or reheat the amount required rather than an entire batch.
