[pct-l] Stovefree "cooking" containers

[Aaron Clifford]

The Talenti containers are nice -- I also use them for cold cooking. One thing to note: if you do put hot water in them they will melt. I did it once and it cost me the container and the food; the whole thing deforms and collapses.

Ditto on the Talenti gelato containers - think they are the same composition as Smart water bottles.

I found peanut butter jars too narrow to get my hand inside to clean. The ziploc leaked for me out on the trail (though it withstood the fill and shake test at home), as did the equivalent Rubbermaid.
