Dough storage trays

[Loren]

I was thinking of getting the 12" x 10", that should hold 9 dough balls easily. They do not cost much more than the other plastic type containers and are designed to store food. I assume they won't transfer odors through the plastic etc. They are also safe in the freezer.

The only thing about the size is the height, I think 4" may be a bit high?

I called the store and they had two left so they set them aside for me and I will have a look at them tomorrow.

Update on the food containers:

I picked them up and they seem very sturdy, very thick plastic. The actual inside dimensions are about 11" x 8 1/2" and a little over 3" tall. 9 dough balls may be pushing it but I won't know until I try them out.

They are made in the USA (Huntington Beach, Ca), you could probably pick them up at a restaurant supply store. I paid $12.99.

Loren,
Keep us up to date -- how is that size working? Can you fit six dough ball? 2 by 3?

James,

6 seems like a good number for that size container. I put 6 Fuji apples in it and it had plenty of room sideways, lengthwise it was a little tight with about a 1/2" to spare between each apple. The apples are 3" in diameter.

I will post back when I try one out but I have some dough in the freezer right now.
