meal prep containers

Batch cooking vessels

Meal prep containers are reusable food storage containers designed for preparing multiple meals in advance.

Typically sold in sets, they feature portion-controlled compartments and microwave-safe, dishwasher-safe construction.

The term belongs to meal prep culture, where people cook and portion out a week's worth of lunches or dinners at once: I spent Sunday filling my meal prep containers for the week.
