Tupperware for a Cozy?
Anyone use a Tupperware 1.1 litre stackable container for a cozy? My wife just got in an order of stuff. I saw this thing on the floor and thought HEY! that would make a great cozy.
Pack spices and stuff inside, then use it to rehydrate meals. My wife is pretty good with a sewing machine so I could have her sew a fleece wrap for it. Any thoughts?

Considering the price of real tupperware, I'm surprisd your wife even let you touch it!

I've done that before but found I prefer ziploc freezer bags instead.

The term 'cozy' usually refers to the wrap that goes around the container.

Yep, understand that. But also looking at alternatives to put the freezer bag in while the meal rehydrates.

Sure, it would work. A lot of times what you are looking for is something that will hold the bag, and keep heat in :-)In summer, it isn't as important to have a super insulated cozy, if you are in a warm location.

I think I'd rather have something that folds up, or packs flat. It would work, esp if you lined it with insulation (maybe plastic packing bubbles or something).

Thanks Ewk. I use an old padded Coleman Peak One stove bag. It works just fine and I can throw it in the washer if it gets mucky.

I almost had to set the tent up in the backyard after my wife found out I was taking her tupperware backpacking. What is mine is yours and what is yours is yours!
