Consider the food-storage container as your friend, your ally, noble carrier of your treats.
Storage containers come in many types, and new styles appear continually. Among the most versatile are those made of glass and equipped with plastic lids.
I use them for storing dry items, stews, leftovers, baked goods, pretty much anything. I'll often poke a small salad or desert in one and tote it to work.
One of the great things about glass containers is how they handle food that is piping hot, without worry that nasties will leach their way in. You can also use glass containers for the reheating, as many are microwave-safe and some even fit for the oven (but not the lid; always check labels).
Moreover, they are a breeze to clean (especially the round ones) and conveniently nest inside each other, thus saving shelf space. Yippee.
It is usually cheaper to buy them as sets rather than as individual units. The Anchor Hocking brand have become my favorite; in these parts, I often see them on sale at Canadian Tire.
With so many sizes, so many shapes, you should have no trouble finding the perfect match for your treat.
