Tribello Divided Plates – 3-Pack 3-Compartment Plastic Plates with Steam Vent Lids – BPA-Free, Microwave Safe Food Storage
Are Tribello’s divided plates with lids a practical way to keep kids’ meals separate and save leftovers?
Yes—this three-pack is a handy fit if you want a divided plate that can cover leftovers and go from freezer to microwave. Its three sections help keep foods from touching, while the clip-on lids have steam vents for reheating. Each plate holds up to 1.5 liters in total, so think of it as a compact meal-and-leftover container rather than a tiny toddler dish. I’d choose it for weekday meals and snacks, then look at the other sets if you need more plates or a bigger supply for a family.

Will the three sections work for a picky eater’s meals?
They give you a separate place for a main, a side and fruit or another snack, which is the useful everyday layout for a child who wants foods kept apart. The stated capacity is 1.5 liters across all three sections, so judge it by the foods you usually serve rather than expecting three equal portions. For a preschooler, I’d use the compartments for modest servings and leave room to adjust as their appetite changes.
Is the lid useful for leftovers and reheating?
Yes: the clip-on lid covers the meal for storage, and its steam vent is there for microwave reheating. Open the vent before heating so steam can escape, and don’t treat a lidded container as sealed while it’s hot. The airtight seal is useful for keeping food covered and reducing spills in storage, but for a lunch bag I’d still pack it upright.
Can the plates and lids go in the dishwasher and microwave?
The set is described as microwave-, freezer- and dishwasher-safe, so it covers the useful meal-prep cycle from freezing to reheating and cleanup. For plastic that you want to keep looking good, scrape food off promptly and avoid overheating it; hand-washing the lids is a sensible way to be gentler on their fit over time. Use the steam vent when reheating, and let hot plastic cool before handling.
Will plastic stain, hold smells or warp?
Plastic is light and practical, but tomato-based sauces, curry and oily foods can leave marks or smells if they sit for a long time. Rinse the plate soon after eating, and don’t leave strongly colored leftovers stored in it longer than necessary. Repeated high heat can also be hard on plastic, so use the microwave-safe setting with the vent open rather than heating an empty plate or pushing reheating longer than the food needs.
Is a three-pack enough, or should you buy a larger set?
Three plates make sense when you want a few lidded portions for lunches, leftovers or meals in rotation without filling a cupboard. If you need plates for several children or want extras ready while others are being washed, the greenandlife set gives you four lidded plates; for a much larger stash of serving trays, US Acrylic supplies twelve, but without lids. Pick for the routine you actually have, not just the biggest count.
How they compare
Three lidded plates for separated meals and leftovers, with vented lids for microwave reheating.
Four larger 9-inch divided plates with lids when you want an extra in the rotation.
Twelve colorful divided trays for a crowd, but without lids for storing leftovers.
Who it suits
This set is for a parent who wants three reusable, lidded portions for a picky eater, weekday lunches or leftovers—and values being able to freeze, reheat and wash the same container without transferring food.
What you give up
- Three plates is a small rotation, so a busy household may run short before the dishwasher is done.
- You’ll need to portion by eye rather than rely on exact per-section volumes; the clear plastic also offers less color and visual variety than the alternatives.
- As with plastic divided plates generally, prompt rinsing and sensible reheating matter if you want to limit stains, lingering food smells and heat wear.

Questions buyers ask
Do the lids fit securely after washing?
The lids are clip-on and the set is described as having an airtight seal, but repeated heat and rough handling can be hard on any plastic lid’s fit. If keeping the fit in good shape matters, hand-wash the lids and let them cool before stacking or snapping them on.
Are these kids’ divided plates microwave safe?
Yes. The set is microwave-safe; check the food before serving, since microwave heating can leave hot spots.
Are the plates and lids dishwasher safe?
Yes. Rinse away stuck-on food first so the cycle has less residue to remove.
Are the sections big enough for a preschooler’s meal?
Try one of your child’s usual meals in it first; a familiar serving is a better size check than the plate’s combined capacity.
Will these plastic plates stain or keep food smells?
They can. Wash the plate promptly after a meal, especially if it held strongly colored or oily food.
Should I choose plastic or silicone divided plates?
Plastic plates keep a more rigid shape and are often convenient for storage and serving, while silicone is flexible and less prone to shattering if dropped. Silicone can be more likely to hold onto oily smells or stains, depending on the food and cleaning, so neither material is completely carefree. For silicone, follow the maker’s care instructions: wash with warm soapy water, or use a dishwasher only if the plate is marked dishwasher-safe. For a plate that also stores and reheats leftovers, this set’s lidded plastic design is the more practical match.
