# Meal Prep Container Selection
This playbook describes the process of selecting appropriate containers for meal prepping. It aims to ensure food freshness and facilitate portion control.

### Step 1: Assess Needs
Evaluate your meal prep requirements, including the number of meals you plan to prep, portion sizes, and the types of food you will store.

### Step 2: Material Consideration
Decide on the type of materials you prefer for your containers, such as glass or plastic, considering factors like durability, safety, and maintenance.

### Step 3: Size &amp; Shape
Choose containers of sizes and shapes that match your portion sizes and the types of foods you plan to carry, ensuring they fit your bag or fridge.

### Step 4: Compartmentalize
Opt for containers with compartments if you want to keep foods separate or if you enjoy a variety of foods in one meal, to prevent mixing of flavors.

### Step 5: Usability Features
Look for containers that offer usability features such as microwave safety, dishwasher safety, leak-proof lids, stackability, and ease of opening.

### Step 6: Purchase
Buy containers in accordance with your assessed needs, preferred materials, required sizes, compartment preferences, and desired usability features.

### Step 7: Maintain
Regularly clean and inspect your containers, replacing any that develop odors, stains, or damage to maintain hygiene and ensure the freshness of your food.

## General Notes

### Sustainability
Consider environmental impact when selecting materials and opt for reusable and recyclable options where possible.

Ensure that containers are BPA-free and meet food safety standards to avoid any health risks associated with low-quality materials.
