Sit the container on the windowsill and the sun will bleach out the red stains.

Also, to prevent this from happening, spray the container with cooking spray before using it. ;)

Baking soda and the hottest water you can find.

Cascade Plastic Booster (http://www.homemadesimple.com/cascade/products/booster.shtml) sounds intriguing, but I don't know if it actually works ...

you know, there was this powder we used to clean the kettles in the theater. It was some harsh cleaner. Supposedly it was dangerous to inhale around it and burns the skin. That should work!

Invest in the stain resistant tupperare. It actually works.

The tupperware is the best of the best, but if you are on a tight budget, invest in some Gladware for $3 and throw it out if it gets "stainy" :)

I got that Stain Resistor one. It works great. However I find with anything you microwave that the liquid will melt-ish the sides. You'll have these plastic rings when the liquid level was.

I think think that consumer reports said this stuff works, however I could be wrong. Um, but yeah try bleach. Or baking soda. Or boiling vinegar (good for getting out lime, rust, scale, that sorta stuff)
