- Jonah Reider, columnist for Food & Wine Magazine and the chef behind Pith Supper Club in NYC shares his best tip for home kitchens: use deli containers to replace storage, to serve as measuring cups, and even to generate creativity. Jonah ticks off numerous benefits of deli containers over traditional tupperware, like their circular uniform size for optimal fit and stack-ability, the ease of seeing everything inside the containers at a glance, and even how most restaurants give them away for free.

Yeah i got it after 10 seconds
Hahahaha “dude we got a content deadline and we gotta submit something in 45 minutes and we totally forgot”.
“Ok it’s go time quick put some crap in those takeout containers from the recycling bin and I’ll just start making shit up”
omg lmao
Alternate Vice video title: “Man with Deli container fetish”
Hahahahahah
Ha
My man really has eggs in a container and lables them "eggs" lmfao
ikr. but I think the label is for the container. to avoid... accidental cross contamination maybe? 🤷🏻♂️ I donno 😂
Who does that..oh wait this hipster does
He’s committed.
Ive gotten into the habit of labeling stuff at home after working in a restaurant. We have to label stuff even if we know whats in it , in case of health inspectors coming by and knocking points off for not having labels. This man is going full fledged though not gonna lie.
you never know when the health department is going to show up
Wait till he finds out about blue and green tape. Really makes the organization pop.
What do you use that for?
@@gonzaloperez7124 its a joke. Its just different color tape other restaurants use
Wait until this guys learns about Cambro or Lexan 🤣
Wait until he finds out about hotel pans and yakumis
@@primeribviking3688 I know chefs that flip out if the blue tape has torn edges.
Dude forgot the explain the best part! - All of the lids are interchangeable so you don't need spend x amount of time looking for the right top to your container.
Good point!
Deli container (off-camera): Keeeeep going, keep talking...
I'm actually really disappointed he didn't cook his pizza with a plastic container
Yeah the amount of plastic in this video is... kind of disturbing. Especially since microplastics have been found in peoples poop recently.
Don't worry. I'm pretty sure he stored leftovers in one labeled ''pizza''
@@lukastomasik6254 it would be awkward to store pizza that shape in those containers.
Congrats you have unlocked the secret of asian moms.
This guy is going to be so excited to tell this story every time he's asked what he did with himself during quarantine.
whooo yeahhh lets just throw out everything in our kitchen for more plastic containers
That will absolutely crack in under a year.
@@jessieancestor ... and will be spoiled by UV light unless used immediately.
Video dude takes it to the extreme but I think the message should be clarified to say IF you’re going to use a container just use the same one. Three sizes, one lid, works with solid or liquids. Buy in bulk and use what you have. If you’re buying a jar of olives and emptying into a deli cup well you’re missing the point.
yeahh I think Ima leave my things in glass
"I run a supper club from my apartment."
Yeah, most of us call it, "Dungeons & Dragons with the guys."
There's a Munchies "chef's night out" with this guy and the comment section just rips him so bad. You should look for it.
@@Viva_Sativa,
For sure. Thanks.
@@Viva_Sativa so just standard Chef’s Night Out comments then? has to be one of the most hate-watched shows on RUclips
Bruh I feel sorry my dude is getting flamed in the comments.
I’m a stay at home mom and one of my greatest kitchen annoyances is dealing with Tupperware storage. Thank you- this a great idea!
This guy is so enthusiastic about deli containers. I wish I was this enthusiastic about anything.
Make sure to write the expiry date of each product on the container label as well
I'd rather put the date of production or purchase on, just like I used to do in the professional kitchens I've worked in. Not everything has the same expiration date and makes guessing if something is still okay easier.
Expiry dates don't really mean anything. Things don't go from 100% safe to 100% unsafe at the strike of midnight. It's only present to prevent legal liability. As long as you're quickly using up your supplies and you're always checking for rancidity and spoilage, you don't need to worry about those dates.
@@adtc in the Netherlands we have to different 'use by'-dates for different products. Some have a 'at least usable until'-date and most of the fresh produce (like a bag of chopped endive) has a 'use before'-date. This is to help fight food waste and for example a carton of milk is often still good for three days after the use by date but the quality of the product can't be guaranteed after that date.
Grocery stores have to sell them on or before that date though.
Expiration date is for when the original packaging is still sealed. Once you expose it to air by pouring it into the new container, many things will expire or at least loose some flavour way sooner. Putting the date of when the thing was filled makes more sense.
@@Hamachingo precisely. I only. Move things to a container when it is opened, like a bag of pasta goes into a sealable bag but only if I have already opened it so it stays good for longer.
None of his stuff is dated.
Every human has build in detectors for rotten/spoiled food. It is called a nose and a tonge.
kind of a chefy habit
He’s gonna go through it quickly w his cooking so no need
Joe is probably one of those persons who thinks food kills you if you consume it after the best before date.....
@@dr.doppeldecker3832 lol sometimes its nice to know how old something is
Did this guy just found out what container is? lmao
youth... everything is new XD
Lmaooo
I feel like the square-shaped containers are more space-friendly
The corners would also provide a better way to pour no?
It’s called Cambros
laughs in hexagon shaped containers ^^'
@@3three8 or lexans
Cylinders can take up about 91% of space as compared to cubes/rectangular prisms which would take 100%. But, the extra space gained from using rectangular prisms wouldn't be worth the other drawbacks in my opinion (more awkward shape to clean/hold/use, more expensive, less durable).
Should change the title of this video,
"These Are The Ideas I Have Left"
I didn’t know Gotye was dabbling in OCD organization these days. Get back to music!
Have you heard of Jam Jars? They might blow your mind.
This video is tremendously accurate and incredibly knowledgeable. We always keep take out deli containers. They are life savers, but that only leaves you with a few. If you want to buy pint and quart containers or even squeeze bottles in bulk, you can easily do so online. It's probably more affordable than buying Tupperware or basic storage containers.
Can't tell if he's trolling or not
This is the truth!!!! I hav been using deli cups for years and it has 💯 changed my kitchen workflow.
Ahh, yes. Space optimising ROUND containers... They will fit well into my square fridge, square cupboard, square bench...
Sounds counterintuitive but not having corners means no corners to catch when moving things around, maybe not space optimizing to the complete max but definitely accessability maximizing
@@nahnope8581 Nah, they’re not - which is why the majority of professional kitchens don’t use them.
@@FullmetalSP1 nice anecdote I guess because plenty of "professional" kitchens use them in my experience lol, anything that is too small to fit in the smallest handled cambro or hotel pan fits perfect in one of them. Sorry you've only been in kitchen that are serving out massive slop trays of food that they don't need small bits of ingredients lmfao
@@nahnope8581 Ahh, yes. The two storage mediums: massive slop trays, and stupid round containers.
Shouldn’t you be scrubbing pots, boy?
The Service Industry professional in me is DDYYIIINNNGGG......lol
Lmao don't hate. Next vid will be on cambro squares.
The next storage fad.... food industry size cling film
Dying as in you find everything wrong in this vid or just laughing because it's common sense? Clarification needed.
@@sylvestersinead2663 I cant speak for anyone here but for me, this has been a not so secret for forever, its even made its rounds as a fad a few times. Its like the food service industry version of using Cool-Whip containers for leftovers. Its a decent system tho, he didn't bring up the multi use of them either. They are volumetric and you can measure with them kind of like the hotel pan system
@@primeribviking3688 Ahhh makes sense. Thanks!
This is honestly a great tip for people who have ADHD (maybe even depression?) and have trouble with object permanence. I am constantly forgetting about certain items I have on hand and not realizing the potential of my kitchen. It's sad so many people are finding ways to shame this idea.
Same!
That’s a great point! I deal with both of those illnesses… thanks for sharing!
I do think people are just lightheartedly having fun In the comments section but I could be wrong … perhaps some harshness going on
U needed 6 minutes for that...?
Take a shot everytime he says '*containers*' 😅
If you already have containers, I don’t think it’s a good idea to throw them all out and replace them with deli containers.
It’s a good idea to re-use and recycle your deli containers, but please don’t throw away stuff you already have.
I hope he was joking about that.
Half my Tupperware has no lid. Half my lids have no containers. A quarter of all my Tupperware has spaghetti stains. And all of it falls out of the cabinet when I open the door. Throwing that mess away is the best advice I've ever been given.
How is this a video? This is a sidenote in another video at best.
The network must be drying out lol
And it was-from Sohla (formerly of BA) earlier this year.
Ad revenue.
I used to use this type of container but they break down too quickly and they warp like crazy and they aren't very microwave safe. So now I use mason jars and other jars, Rubbermaid containers, IKEA green lid containers, and also Pyrex containers.
Pyrex is the shit. I had a moronic chef who demanded we did everything in delis even for service. Even for catering in a small truck with no space. That 600lb bitch never did anything but talk about delis.
Microwave safe/freezer safe deli containers are available on Amazon, they're very inexpensive, too.
@@TheMom2phoenix Context. Most restaurants do not use these. This was assuming you're getting a mixed bag.
@@FunnyDougy you mean like the guy in the video?
@@TheMom2phoenix I recommend a Restaurant Supply store for Commercial grade containers. Whether that’s deli or otherwise it’s nice to work with things than can take a beating. Amazon gets enough of our money anyway!
Anyone here worries about the expiry date ? 😂
Yes just label the containers with the expiration date . I used to cook in a kitchen and that’s what we did .
Expiry dates don't really mean anything. Things don't go from 100% safe to 100% unsafe at the strike of midnight. It's only present to prevent legal liability. As long as you're quickly using up your supplies and you're always checking for rancidity and spoilage, you don't need to worry about those dates.
It would be even better if everyone didn't use plastic. Glass is also see through..
rly?
Yea I would not feel the same if I pissed in my delis. Mason jars all the way.
Oh but I think the point is that these are takeaway containers that are produced anyway and that takeaway food is given in. So instead of landfill/recycling them after eating, get more life out of them as an ingenious storage solution.
@@tiang5132 You have to understand that some of us are actually working in kitchens. As this person is posting on munchies our perspective of their actions can be different knowing they do the same.
this is a huge game changer for any home cook! change my cooking game forever, good work Jonah!
This video is so great in every way they didn’t intend it to be
I just redid my pantry like this and it saved me so much space. I love it
In order to promote sustainability I started putting toothpaste into an old bottle of KY. My life is so much better🥰🥰
What
Why the heck is this comment so damn funny?😆
I bought a set a couple of years ago after seeing them used to great effect on some cooking shows and use them every day and not just in the kitchen!
I do this too. I buy fresh onion, bell pepper, and celery, chop and freeze it for recipes later in these containers. My wife thought I was crazy, until I started taking over cooking duty.
And you get an added benefit of all the chemicals that have leached out in the food in your plastic containers! They are not easily recyclable, they end up floating in our oceans! He has a lot more to learn!
Great tip, also keeps these things out of the landfill! Thanks for spreading this wonderful information
Deli containers are awesome but I feel guilty about using THAT MUCH plastic (plastic doesn't really get recicled). Plus they don't always go smoothly in the microwave. Glass containers seem more sustainable, but then they'll break easily and often.
Dude that fridge is organized
These cheap deli containers break over time. Durable plastic brands and far better
I really enjoyed this video about recycling, for anyone curious about the environmental trade-off of glass vs plastic. ruclips.net/video/g64lojMyZXY/видео.html
Cool video,@@OwenCampbellMoore ! The problem is much of the plastic that's separated at home to be recicled ends up in a landfill. I agree with Hunk, regulations should be smarter about recicling.
You don't microwave them. And you don't recycle them. You reuse them.
@@SimonWoodburyForget yeah, cleaning plastic can be an ordeal
Munchies, I have to give you this: this is one of the funniest videos I've seen this month
Jonah: literally just labels his containers
Also Jonah: “It’s kind of a ✨chefy✨ habit”
Saw this tip on another channel and it has been a quarantine game changer!
man the comment section is too harsh to this guy... he just wanted to show you a more organized kitchen. If you do try to do this, don’t forget to also label it with the expiraton date :)
I agree
Definitely the best way to organize a small kitchen but I would always add your packaging date so you know how long it's been sitting. And it's always better to get a full set so you know all the lids fit perfectly some take out container won't fit your average deli cup.
Can you buy them in bulk? So where do you get yours? Thanks love your kitchen!
Throw out all your plastic and buy more plastic. This is something old people have done for a while typically to reuse take out containers and give them more longevity before they finally give out and need to be recycled.
I have been using those containers for a while now and i can't live without them now. I purchased a bunch to use for take home containers for Thanksgiving.
Can't wait to have my fridge look like I am working at a lab.
Yes! My family been snagging these from the japanese restaurant we take out from for years
Ok I. Theorie, but if I make a lasagna, and have leftovers, how do I store them in a deli container?
I like square containers better.. Save more space in the fridge and cabinet
I think you can make some exceptions
@@robertfleener3902 why would you make exceptions when these containers are the only ones you need 😂
You make it fit in, or else....
I absolutely love this video it is so hilariously banal
Also I feel really bad for jonah cause everyone gives him flack for fronting but i think he’s genuinely just a chill foodie dude
Munchies: Makes whole video about containers.
Also Munchies: doesnt provide a link where to buy them...
those containers are that good and life changing thats hard to belive this video is even real.

Note, they are sold as a case, a case is a couple hundred.
I was shocked no Amazon affiliate link.. what a shame after this legendary deli container plug
Pinterest moms gonna laugh so hard watching this
Lmfao this guy is sooo passionate about containers. Love it
GENUINE question, why do Americans seem to prefer the round deli containers, as opposed to the rectangular ones? They utilise fridge and pantry space better
Yes! Hot soups, broths, liquids you name it and very sturdy as well. I always keep those containers.
I thought this is a prank comedy video
This idea makes a lot more sense for a commercial kitchen than a home kitchen. Chefs go through high volumes of ingredients on a daily basis and work on a set menu. This might look cool for the first few days then you’ll realise that you wasted a lot of plastic.
I have a deli cup home kitchen (although I’d say 75% not 100%) and it’s an excellent way to keep it together. It also reduces food waste because you can see how much is left of ingredients and they are machine washable NOT disposable.
@@Harry-ju8yw You definitely can, but these are created to be disposable. Containers, especially the lids can get cracks and plastic itself is something that's not meant for long term use. Why not just use glass jars or clear plastic containers that are actually made for long time use?
@@mukkaar because those are not… these containers ;)
Noone can contain this dude.
Munchies has really been scraping the bottom of the barrel lately.
scraping the bottom of the tupperware
Honestly as a former Sous Chef LITERALLY this is top tier wisdom to steal from the industry and apply to your home kitchen.
@@Koolkid4CHRIST obviously you cook..can't say the same for the faux environmentalist on this thread..
@@Koolkid4CHRIST this isn’t top tier wisdom, it’s common sense lmao
@@TheKhronosOperation9 lmao hey even the foolish things dumbfound the wise fam. Even if it means just using quart and pint containers for cooking and storage
Asian parents would be proud when see their tupperware used in fancy restaurant
This makes so much sense! Been using bags. lol Thank you!
Bought a pack of 24 off amazon early July. Perfect for the kitchen and helped as an owner of a pizza shop
thank you for this game-changing content. really changed my life😭
Lmao people making fun of him and this video is pretty silly, but as a guy who recently moved towards putting everything in my cupboard in deli containers, I get it.
I never knew you needed so many containers for soy milk , avocado and toasted bread, you live and learn.
Good thing other chef youtubers recommended these years ago.
Drink every time he says “container”!!!
Bruv, literally all of this you can do with containers you already have. You can put labels on them!
That was damn useful. And that's coming from someone who took cooking classes on 4 continents.
And one of them was Antarctica?
@@Tiundin North America, South America, Asia and Europe. I've been to Antarctica but there's no cooking classes there. Lots of frozen food though.
Okay, these things aren't dishwasher safe and you can't put them in the freezer, and the squeeze bottles are a nightmare to clean (and aren't dishwasher safe either). Which means this guy is throwing out a lot of plastic or hand washing at least 2 hours a day. I'm gonna guess, looking at him, he's throwing them out once he's done with them, or repurposed them twice.
Not a great system.
Oh, and glass doesn't absorb colours, odours or flavours, unlike cheap plastic.
Deli containers are dishwasher safe...
@@dsf8497 no they are not, the plastic does not take heat change. I agree with this first comment, this seems very wasteful. If there is a special brand he was referring to the story would be different, and I would be amazed but this is cheap plastic that will give in, even under hot tap water unfortunately.
@@oysterhoister1993 Deli containers are dishwasher safe - in a home dishwasher I would recommend placing them on the top rack, and they can be ran through a commercial dishwasher multiple times without cracking or melting
They are dishwasher and microwave safe. Throwing out after using twice, pretty obvious you havent used them before or got some super low quality ones from somewhere. The ones currently in my fridge have been washed at least 50 time in my dishwasher and not a single one is showing signs of needing to be tossed out soon.
Lovely! Its very satisfying to watch the overall efficiency! Now I plan on robbing the local deli instead of purchasing tupperware.
Just bought an apartment, this was useful af.
i worked in asbestos removal this past summer and found like a full suite of cambros (in really good condition too) in a kitchen that we were supposed to gut. i fucking love industry grade food equipment
finally "youtube creators" are running out of ideas...
RUclips recommendations never fail.
To balance all the harshing; lots of common deli items COME in these containers- no extra purchasing. AND, the lids are 95% standardized!
Video wasn't bad, just didn't need to be as long as it was.
Deli containers are awesome
I brought this idea to my partner and she nixed it due to them being plastic. I love the one lid to rule them all but we need a glass system like this. I suppose mason gars is all I got.
they are see-through....and tupperware or glass jars are not? more plastic
They are also lighter and easier to grab
I drink straight out of these containers
I find him cute. It’s nice to have obsessions.
I like his attitude towards his life. You can tell he's really enjoying every moment.
My kitchen has tons of crabos!!! That's what they called em in Pittsburgh!
Ive built up my own collection of these after a while from yoghurt pots. Their not as sturdy or see through but the sizes are the same and I use the lid on everything. The benefit is I've been having greek yoghurt or quark additonally. They are really handy, I just make sure the food is cool or cold before storing.
it's like saying, dont buy an iphone, get a nokia 5310 just because it's easier to call.
Just started doing this , when I go to deli department I ask for extra containers with lids. They're more than happy to give you some
My only gripe is that 75% of the deli lids I have, have a small hole in them. I guess this is for steam to escape. I do love this idea. I think I will do it.
Love it! Thank you for sharing. ❤
There's nothing mentioned in this video that "tupperware" also can't do; on the other side, most deli containers (like the takeout ones mentioned) can't be microwaved. About the only truthful statement here is that squeeze bottles are the bomb for homemade sauces
This works!!! I sold my tupper ware and jars!!! and masking tape
idea is bomb!!!
The "4 cuppers" also make great drink cups. Just cut a hole in the lid...👌 Awesome.
You know that by tossing out old containers and replacing them with deli containers you are creating more plastic waste?
Labelling is good, but you do not need new containers as long as your old ones aren't broken and still airtight. Just because you had an organizing problem doesn't mean everybody else has it. I know you mean well, but there are millions and generations of cooks out there who have thrived without deli containers for a long time. And square or rectangle containers save more space.
Good point, however allow me to add one additional step of complexity to solve this issue. Eventually your existing plastic containers are going to go foul or crack or something, rendering them useless to you. Fortunately plastic recycles pretty well! And now instead of buying new inefficient plastic containers, you have a new bit of handy information about exactly which kind you're hunting for- deli containers! Over time, what was once a bulky, cluttered, disorganized mish-mash of plastic containers (I've been there myself), becomes a selection of useful and easy to organize deli containers.
Also, I just need to add one straight up correction. Rectangle, and square containers do NOT save more space, in fact they are greatly space inefficient as far as storage goes. Circles are better, but hexagons are best for optimal packing of stored items. There's a lot of really neat videos about it too that I would recommend checking out. Packing efficiency is actually fascinating stuff!
@@EndlessCampaign plastic recycles well but less than 10% of it actually gets recycled
EndlessCampaign that shit will be quarantine masks for octopussies. The shape sucks for use in small kitchens when not storing. This guy can’t even put tape over tape much less peel it off. If he used blue tape I might agree. Blue looks good on octopuses 🐙
Mmm an excuse to order some takeout 😁
Does the plastic start leeching into your food though? I've noticed with plastic gym bottles that after water sitting in them for a day, it already has a plastic taste.
