PanSpanTupperware With Compartments
Which divided food container will keep my lunch organized without adding extra tubs to my work bag?
For most packed lunches, I’d choose Rubbermaid Brilliance: its five two-section containers have a leakproof outer seal, and the plastic resists stains and odors. If you prep larger portions or want three sections, Bentgo gives you ten lightweight containers; for oven cooking and glass storage, choose M MCIRCO or FIT Strong & Healthy. The important distinction: divided sections help keep foods apart, but don’t assume they seal independently—pack sauces and runny foods separately.
The Tupperware-branded option isn’t among these picks. Rubbermaid Brilliance comes closest for divided everyday storage, with plastic, two sections, and a leakproof outer seal.
#1 · Rubbermaid
Rubbermaid Brilliance Meal Prep Containers, 2-Compartment Food Storage Containers, 2.85 Cup, 5-Pack, BPA-Free, Clear/Grey
Choose Rubbermaid Brilliance for everyday lunches with a main and one side. The five 2.85-cup containers are leakproof and airtight as a whole, with built-in vents for microwave reheating and plastic designed to resist stains and odors.
#2 · Bentgo
Bentgo Prep 3-Compartment Meal Prep Containers with Lids, 20 Piece Set | 4-Cup Capacity, Portion Control, Stackable, Microwave, Freezer & Dishwasher-Safe, PFAS & BPA-Free (Silver)
Choose Bentgo Prep when you want three sections, a larger 4-cup portion, and enough containers to prep several meals at once. The set includes ten trays and lids; microwave the trays without the lids, and hand-wash the lids.
#3 · M MCIRCO
M MCIRCO 5 Pack,36 oz, 2 Compartments Glass Meal Prep Containers with Lids | Divided Glass Food Storage Containers, Portion Control Lunch Containers, Microwave, Oven, Freezer, Dishwasher, 4.5 Cups, Gray
Choose M MCIRCO for five 36-ounce glass containers with two sections apiece. They suit generous portions and oven-to-table cooking; remove the lids before using the microwave or oven.
#4 · FIT Strong & Healthy
Glass Meal Prep Containers 2 and 3 Compartments, Leak-Proof, 32 oz, 4 Pack | Food Storage Bento Box, Lunch Containers Set, Snack Boxes, Portion Control, Dishwasher Oven Freezer Safe, Airtight Lids Blue
Choose FIT Strong & Healthy if you want a mix of two- and three-section glass containers and value oven use. The four-container set holds 32 ounces per container, but its seal prevents leaks out of the container—not movement between sections.
#5 · Dealusy
Dealusy 50 Pack 32 oz Meal Prep Containers with Lids 3-Compartment, Black | Sturdy Leakproof & Food Safe, Microwave, Freezer, Dishwasher Safe Prep Containers, To Go Take Out Plastic Food Storage
Choose Dealusy when you pack a lot of meals and want a 50-pack of three-section containers. They’re a practical high-volume option for work, school, or outings, with microwave, freezer, and dishwasher use listed among their features.
Do you need sections that stop food from touching—or ones that stop liquids crossing over?
These dividers separate foods, but they aren’t a promise of individually sealed compartments. FIT explicitly cautions that its seal prevents leaks out of the container, not between sections; use a separate small container for dressing or anything runny. For a secure outer seal on the way to work, Rubbermaid Brilliance is the clearest choice here.
Is glass or plastic better for a lunch bag?
For a daily commute, I’d take plastic: Rubbermaid Brilliance is a sensible everyday option, while Bentgo is especially light and comes in a ten-container set. Glass is a better fit for home meal prep, oven cooking, and serving, but it adds weight and needs more careful handling in a backpack. Choose M MCIRCO for five larger two-section glass containers, or FIT for a mix of two- and three-section layouts.
How many sections and how much food do you pack?
For a main and a side, start with Rubbermaid’s two sections and 2.85-cup capacity. If you want three distinct portions, Bentgo offers 4-cup containers, while Dealusy provides a much larger batch of 32-ounce containers. For roomy glass portions, M MCIRCO holds 36 ounces per container; FIT offers two- and three-section styles at 32 ounces each.
Will the container make reheating easier?
Rubbermaid Brilliance has built-in vents for microwave reheating with the lid on and latches open. Bentgo’s trays can go in the microwave, but its lids should stay off; the glass containers also need their lids removed for microwave reheating. If you want a cold side to stay cold, move it out before heating the rest rather than relying on a divider.

You will also want
If dressings or cold sides must stay completely separate, a small standalone container is more dependable than relying on a divider. A second glass storage set can also give you flexible containers for those extras.

Use these separate glass containers for dressing, sauces, or cold sides that you don’t want crossing into the main compartments.
Questions buyers ask
Are the compartments individually sealed?
FIT's removable silicone ring seals the lid, but its description says the seal prevents leaks out—not movement between compartments. Use a separate small container for dressing or other runny foods.
Which divided lunch container is best for preventing leaks on a commute?
Close Rubbermaid Brilliance’s secure latches fully before putting it in your bag. Its leakproof, airtight seal protects against leaks out of the container, not movement between sections, so keep liquids separate.
Is glass meal prep too heavy for a backpack?
The listed set weights are 2 lb for FIT and 2.25 lb for M MCIRCO, compared with 0.5 lb for Bentgo. I’d choose Bentgo for a backpack; pick glass when oven use matters more than keeping your load light.
Can I microwave the hot compartment and keep the cold side separate?
Move cold food to a separate container or plate before reheating. Bentgo’s tray can go in the microwave without its lid; with the glass options, remove the lid.
Which options are dishwasher safe?
Bentgo’s trays are top-shelf dishwasher safe, while its lids are best hand-washed. The glass FIT set is dishwasher safe, with lids on the top rack or hand-washed; M MCIRCO is dishwasher safe, and Dealusy is top-rack dishwasher safe.
Which one is best for batch meal prep?
Bentgo’s ten trays each come with a custom-fit lid, making it easy to portion meals in advance. Dealusy is the better choice if you need a larger 50-container supply for high-volume packing.
Which divided containers are most durable?
For a lunch you carry daily, Rubbermaid Brilliance is the best fit: it is lightweight and shatter-resistant, and its plastic is designed to resist stains and odors. Choose Dealusy for a high-volume reusable option, or borosilicate glass when oven use matters and you can handle the added weight.
