Best fridge containers for marinated/prepped uncooked ingredients

We have recently significantly reduced food spends, takeaways etc to get healthier whilst cutting costs. We both work FT and have two smalls so one of the things I do is - on Sundays - do a lot of food prep. We are total foodies and love different cuisines so this basically means taking a large family pack of chicken/other meat from Lidl and portioning it up to stretch to many meals and then - marinading it as individual meals, ready with lots of prepped spices/pastes/veg - whatever - all together. For weeknight dinners it’s just a question of putting in Instant Pot or oven.

Am looking for space friendly fridge containers where these portioned, prepped, marinated but still uncooked meals can be stored.

Ideally stackable, ideally dishwasher friendly.

Doesn’t need to be freezer or microwave friendly.

Any suggestions?

I love the Pyrex glass ones. You can wash in the dishwasher, cook in oven etc.

Ooh thanks checking these out. Actually being freezer friendly also helps as prepped meals can be frozen and taken out/defrosted on day or day before we need them

Glass. I tend to use a large dish or bowl with clingfilm over it.
