I like muffin tins (a suggestion I read on here, I think).  And because 
I'm afraid I'll have an attack of clumsy and send the contents flying, I 
wrap the tin in plastic wrap after I populate it.  A slit made in the 
plastic with scissors lets fingers or pliers in to retrieve a part while 
still keeping it spill-resistant.
