Rubbermaid EasyFindLids Meal Prep Containers 5.5 Cup Red

I've been using these red top containers now for about a decade, and I still have most of my first purchase. A few have been given away, stolen or lost. I've bought some extra so that I have new looking containers to take to potlucks or as a guest. But I'm quite sure that I haven't actually destroyed any of them. They are in daily use around my house and on average I have about 6-8 of them in the fridge at any one time. All the lids still fit securely and there are no abraded edges. The biggest culprit for damage to these [as far as making them not look good, though still functional] are tomato based foods like pasta sauce or chili. It can add a bit of stain that doesn't come out for a couple of washings and/or erode a bit over time. However, over the past year or so, I've started spraying the inside with cooking spray, and it certainly helps with the staining. Otherwise, these containers get a bit of etching on the clear plastic and look whiteish and not new, though they remain functional. Still, with the cost of them, I have no intention of switching to something else. Not even Tupperware has outlasted these things, and these are a lot cheaper. I needed some larger containers with doing more cooking this year because of COVID, so I got a few of these and some for my adult kids. They are great for soups and I don't think I've ever had one leak with reasonable food handling. The one exception would be if I've stored some hot food and the pressure burped a corner loose. But this works for anything and better than any storage container short of a screw top or a mason jar storage container. I just put it on the table, lay the lid on top till it heats up the air and burp it a couple of times. I've also had a corner pop loose in the microwave if I've not popped it loose in advance. Both of these situations have been remedied by the addition of this burp valve on top of the red lid. Now I can just crack that loose and put it in the fridge or the microwave without concern. Kudos to the Rubbermaid folks for this rather innovative yet uncomplicated design change. I don't know if they are doing this on all of the tops or just a few. It's not often needed so I'd hate to see an expense that isn't necessary, but I know I'll happily take this on a few of them. Technically speaking you aren't supposed to use these for cooking. However, the instructions say that 30 seconds in the microwave won't be a problem. I've found that to be true except for fats. Fats will get too hot for these. As for sizes, I like the variety though I'd happily trade 20 of those tiny containers for one 7 or 9 cup. The tiny ones are great for storing a bit of salad dressing or diced onion, or taking a minimal amount of sauce on a picnic, but that's about it. I suspect the only reason they are there in that number are to boost the number of containers on the packaging. 5 stars easy, but pay attention to sizes and be willing to pay a bit more for getting the sizes you need.

This is my favorite Rubbermaid food storage . It’s microwave safe , keeps thing fresh and when taking soup any food to work it down at spill . Dishwasher safe but i hand wash it .

I love this brand and I am especially in love with this smoky color. It hides any stains from sauces that you might get. It also just makes it look like a higher quality item. I have gotten lots of compliments on these. They stack together nicely and are the same size as previous ones I have purchased.

Love these rubbermaid containers. Wish the set included more of the larger size, rather than multiples of the extra small ones. The venting lids are cool, but unnecessary for my uses.

Perfect size for meal prepping. We use the Rubbermaid Containers to prep dinner meals for hunt camp. They are a perfect size for filling and freezing. They stack easily, are sturdy and the lids are simple to open and close with a great seal. We have used them multiple times and they still look good as new. We typically hand wash however they have survived the dishwasher just fine. These containers function exactly as needed for saving both money and time while hunting.

We had a set of these we bought over 15 years ago (with a blue lid). They have been through the worst of times. This set is even better with tight fitting lids. I like to store individual meals and reheat them in oven proof containers. I do freeze a lot of produce (we had a bumper crop of butternut squash) that i precook. I like the fact that they are dishwasher safe and clean up like brand new. They stack perfectly for those of us that are cabinet challenged. If I had room I would order another set!

Great for meals. Sturdy There do not strain. Covers fit well.

Excellent set of containers! The blue color is also a welcome change from the standard red. Makes it easy to tell the old from the new.

I finally got these for a normal price. I checked on Wayfair, and they are asking 80.00 plus $ which is crazy!! Thank you Amazon!

J’ai acheter plusieur plat, par contre c’est les meilleurs que j’ai eu jusqu’à date. Ne tache pas, va au lave vaisselle et micro-ondes. Je recommande fortement!!!

Accurate description, clear, user-friendly communication, secure packaging and prompt delivery. I am very pleased with my purchase. Thank you.

Love them. good size for freezing slices, muffins, small cakes, donuts and other food in. stacks well in the freezer. Have one that is a bite smaller that I have had for years that I use all the time in the freezer. this was the closest that I could find.

とつても使い勝手いいです レンチンもできるし
