How can I get jalapeno flavor off my plastic storage containers?
My hubby loves em I don't care for them. I have a small rubbermaid food container that he put them in then microwaved. I have tried soaking in bleach water already. Neighbored offered to wash in dishwasher. What can I do?
Husbands, plastic food containers and microwaves do not mix well.
Try your neighbor's offer of the dishwasher. I know the dishwasher does the best job on Tupperware that you could imagine. It is just possible that you will never get the flavor completely out of the plastic, since it was heated up. The component that makes jalapenos hot is oil soluble and plastic is a petroleum based product, so you may find that the flavor is forever bonded to your containers. You could do what I do and tell him to use only the ones he has already ruined (this does not work that well). Or buy the glass microwavable storage containers like these:

Which Food Storage Containers Work Best?
Can anyone recommend BPA-free, eco-friendly food storage containers?
Everyone says Rubbermaid has some, but it's not listed in the description, and I can't find where it says they are. Ideally, they'd be cheap, but I'm ready to stop storing all my food in old BPA-lined containers.
Thanks!
I get a lot of questions on my Website about where to get good BPA Free food storage containers. If you are looking for a great container check out the popular OXO containers:
The OXO Good Grips pop containers are airtight, stack-able, and space efficient, making it easy to keep your dry foods fresh and your kitchen organized. The containers have a unique push button mechanism that creates an airtight seal with just 1 touch. The button also serves as a handle to lift off the lid. The containers are designed for modular stacking so that you can efficiently organize your counter-top and your pantry.
All OXO Containers are BPA Free. Read the reviews when you check out these containers on Amazon.

depends on dog food.
wet one is likely close in density to water, so it will be around 120lbs
density of dry food depends on what's in it and chunk size, so just get a quart of it and weigh it (there are free accurate scales as post offices).
To minimise cost, minimise C.
Dimensions: length 2L, width L, height H
V = length * width * height = (2L)(L)(H) = 2HL^2 = 10 cubic metres
Find H in terms of L (so we have fewer variables to work with)
HL^2 = 5
H = 5/L^2
Now to find the surface area:
for the base, area = 2L * L = 2L^2
Cost-base = 2L^2 * $10/sq.m = $20L^2
for the sides, 2(L * H) + 2(2L * H)
= 2(L * H) + 4(L * H)
= 6(L * H)
= 6(L*5/L^2)
= 30/L
Cost-sides = 6*30/L = $180/L
Total cost C = 180/L + 20L^2
C = 180L^-1 + 20L^2
dC/dL = -180L^-2 + 40L
For minimum dC/dL = 0
-180L^-2 + 40L = 0
40L = 180L^-2 = 180/L^2
40L^3 = 180
L^3 = 180/40 = 18/4
L = (18/4)^(1/3) ~= 1.65 for cheapest
C = 180/L + 20L^2
Sub the value of L in equation for C to give C = 90*(6^1/3) which is about $163.54 which is the cheapest price.
