What will you use to package our meals?
I prefer to use glass Pyrex containers with lids since they are freezer-safe, microwave safe and oven-safe. Using these dishes allows you to heat and serve your food without dirtying other dishes.
However, if you prefer, disposable containers, such as Gladware and Ziploc bags may also be used. Remember that you will have to transfer your food to an oven safe dish when using disposable containers. In either case, you simply wash the containers after you have enjoyed your meal and have them ready for the next cooking date in a predetermined location.
The one time container fee for Pyrex averages $100, depending on the size of your family and the meal plan you have chosen. I will shop for these dishes for you at no additional cost and they will be yours to keep. The container fee for disposable dishes averages $15/cook date. These can be washed and reused.
The best method for you will depend on how you prefer to heat your meals, how much storage space is available and other factors.
