Those are much lighter weight/thinner metal than GI issue, and can't
be used in a microwave... for $9 you can buy a lot of compartmentized
styrofoam plates. I would rather freeze left overs individually in
plastic containers, those plates steal a lot of freezer space... with
frozen pizza, etc. I discard the over cartons, saves a lot of freezer
space.
