I’m definitely not a morning person. In fact, I often sleep through my alarms. Out of necessity, I usually skip breakfast in an attempt to start my day on time, but recently I’ve felt my stomach growling well before lunch. Looking for a way to have my morning meal without having to wake up early, I looked for a breakfast that I could prepare on Sunday and eat throughout the week.
Then, while scrolling through TikTok, I found my answer. In a recent video, food influencer Emily Mariko makes a giant batch of her viral overnight oats recipe, inspiring me to do the same. But first, I had to get a giant food storage container like the one Mariko uses for meal prep.
Lock & Lock Airtight Food Container

According to Mariko’s Substack, she eats overnight oats three times a week, so it’s no surprise that the ultra-organized designer makes large batches. Its recipe is simple: oats, chia seeds, flax seeds, milk, maple syrup and yogurt. She typically uses Glasslock containers for storage, but in this video she uses a rectangular container that is much larger than anything Glasslock makes. I found a similar oversized, airtight container, and right now it’s 27% off on Amazon.
Measuring 10 x 7 x 6 inches, this Lock & Lock container has a relatively small footprint in the refrigerator but a generous capacity. It holds up to 19 cups at a time, making it ideal for any foods that keep well in the refrigerator or freezer, like soups and stews. “I tend to cook large quantities of food, and this container is large enough to hold the massive amounts of food I prepare,” said one satisfied buyer.
The BPA-free plastic container is microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. It’s also incredibly durable. In fact, depending on the brand, it can last up to 3 million uses. Best of all, buyers say you can trust its airtight seal. The lid features four snaps and a silicone liner to prevent leaks and spills while maintaining freshness.
Shoppers have found countless creative uses for this large container. One customer says he keeps the bread “fresh for a few weeks, maybe longer if I hadn’t finished it.” Others use theirs to store pantry items like beans, flours and cereals. “This can hold a bag full of party-sized chips,” another shopper noted.
Grouping food together is a great way to save time throughout the week, which is why this oversized container from Lock & Lock is essential in any busy kitchen. This large container can help save you time and take your meal prep game to the next level. Buy yours today while it’s 27% off.
