A meat keeper—often called a deli keeper—is a reusable food storage container designed to keep sliced meats, cheeses, and leftovers neat and easy to find in your fridge.

• Common features: secure, leak-resistant lids, clear sides to see contents, and stackable shapes to save space.
• Sizes: capacities often range from smaller portions to larger 32 oz options.
• Care: many containers are BPA-free and labeled microwave, freezer, and dishwasher friendly; always check the product details.

For everyday use, consider placing a paper towel under sliced meats to help manage moisture, label with the date, and follow any storage guidance provided on your food’s packaging.

Both materials can work well for freezing when they’re labeled freezer-safe. The “better” choice depends on how you use them.

• Glass: resists stains and odors, and is durable, but it’s heavier and can crack if overfilled or exposed to sudden temperature changes.
• Plastic deli containers: lightweight, stackable, and less likely to break; often more space-efficient for small portions.

Helpful tips: cool foods before freezing, leave headspace for expansion, avoid moving very hot items straight into the freezer, and label date and contents. Performance can vary by product and usage, so review care instructions and choose what fits your kitchen routine.

You can shop deli containers at Walmart—online or in store.

• Online: search for “deli keepers” to browse different sizes (including popular 32 oz) and pack quantities.
• Services: choose delivery or curbside pickup where available for added convenience.
• Compare: check product details for features like leak-resistant lids and microwave/freezer/dishwasher compatibility.

Availability can vary by location and time. If you prefer in-person shopping, visit the food storage section at your local store. Filters and customer reviews online can help you narrow options to containers that match your storage and meal-prep needs.

Choose sizes based on what you’re storing and your fridge space.

• 8–12 oz: small portions like toppings, snacks, or cut fruit.
• 16–24 oz: sliced deli meats, salads, and sides.
• 32 oz: soups, stews, and full meal-prep portions.

Sets with matching lids can make stacking simpler and reduce clutter. Measuring a shelf or drawer before you buy can help ensure a good fit. Capacity labels and dimensions can vary among products, so review the product details and pick a mix that aligns with how you prep, portion, and store leftovers.

Many deli keepers are microwave-friendly, but it’s best to confirm the product is labeled microwave-safe before heating.

• Vent: loosen or slightly lift the lid to let steam escape.
• Heat gradually: use medium power in short intervals and stir between rounds.
• Be mindful of oils: very hot, oily foods can warp some plastics; shorter heating times can help.
• Handle with care: containers and contents may be hot after heating.

Care instructions differ by item. If a container isn’t indicated for microwave use, transfer food to a suitable dish instead. These steps can help reduce messes and maintain container condition while reheating.
