These are 10 oz. containers with recloseable lids. They are dishwasher safe and can be sanitized. I find they are a perfect size for individual meat and gravy servings. Also, meatballs and sauce. We are now a family of two since our kids have grown. I still cook for an army and freeze portions in the Beneful containers. They are so easy to pop into the microwave. I can have liver and onions while my husband has meatballs and shells. These containers are great.
After I read your post the other day about reusing the Beneful containers for human food, I was bothered so I decided to share my views.
I have several of these Beneful containers too, and I agree on reusing them, but not for human food.
I am a HUGE animal lover including letting our pups give me kisses on my lips, but I am not confortable about using the dish from their food, heck I keep separate forks for their food and ours.
We don't really know what is in their food and its' effect on the plastic and if it will leach into our food if stored/cooked in it. I have never ever had good luck getting strong scented food item smells out of my plastic dishes (and I do use my dishwasher religiously). I have been known in the past to use a teeny tiny amount of bleach for sanitizing, but I personally don't think that is healthy for you either.
Please, before you do any more microwaving in this dishes do a little research to see if that is safe for your health....I have read a lot of articles about not doing it. Many of these human food-safe dishes say do not re-use, and I wonder if the same is true for the dog food containers?
These are just my personal thoughts & concerns. Be healthy & happy!
