Until last week, I never gave much thought as to what you put leftovers in. I either wrapped them up or put them in a plastic bowl.
Recently I attended the International Housewares Show in Chicago. I ran across one booth named "Snapware" that sold something that looked like glass tupperware. The woman there, Sophia Dilberakis, said that resealable glass containers (Glass-lock) provided a "leftovers solution" to people who want to reheat them without worrying about it releasing chemicals in the microwave.

When they arrived at my Cornell Lab, I pretty much saw them as nice-looking but heavy versions of plastic dishes. Was I wrong. Two of my operations people asked if they could borrow them, and they have brought leftovers to lunch in them the past couple days... to microwave.

If you're not a big leftovers person, its worth rethinking. Regardless of what you put them in, they can help you eat less on both Day 1 and Day 2. (See how you'll look skinnier with our Weight Loss Simulator!)
