Thank you for normalizing the repurposing of these containers. I always have many dozens of Knudsen 3lb containers on hand, as I too consume an inordinate amount of the curds. These containers make excellent keepers for chopped onions of all varieties in the refrigerator.
I always have white/yellow/green chopped onions at the ready. I've found the ridged lids do a much better job of containing odors than any commercially available container. Best of all, when the containers themselves become overwhelmingly oniony, they are easily replaced.
I too love cottage cheese with tuna salad. When I first thought to mix the two of them together, sometimes with grated sharp cheddar atop, I thought I was a budding gourmet (at the age of ten)!
I have multiple cottage cheese, yogurt, and potato salad containers since my fridge mate eats them all. Yes, reuse, get some masking tape and a marking pen. You can note, repeatedly, what is inside. For old, dreary containers I stabs holes in them add an ant trap, pot on lid and give the ants an opportunity outside the house.
I use strips of paper, torn or cut to about 2” deep 4” or so wide, on which I write the contents on these type containers, and affix with plain old Scotch tape. Or, a piece of masking tape works, too, and is easy to label. It feels good to reuse these in this way.
I also eat a lot of cottage cheese! My fave is Trader Joe’s 2%. My most common breakfast is cottage cheese on hearty grainy seeded toast, occasionally with a teaspoon of goor jam shmeared on top. Mmmm.
That bread was made from our pizza dough balls by pressing down on the dough. They’re easy to make. I haven’t tasted them yet but from photos Fiorelli’s looks like they are making something similar.

I love this specialized use of the container! So smart.
I'm addicted to the "GOOD" cottage cheese.

What a precocious young cook!
I know I am writing from the land of cheese and shouldn't moan, but I miss cottage cheese!
Really?! It's good to know you haven't lost touch with your roots. hahahaha

love this so much. Cottage Cheese is the best, especially with a bag of Ruffles Potato Chips

I've been mulling this over too!
Happy New Year Evan! is there anywhere I can buy those amazing loaves of bread you made for sandwiches at Angeli?
