Rubbermaid 60-Piece Food Storage Containers with Lids, Microwave and Dishwasher Safe, Red Color, Ideal for Meal Prep and Pantry Storage

I own two sets of these.Buying a 3rd set today.I've thrown out all of my other storage containers.These are the solution I have been looking for.My refrigerator is continuously hosting these containers: cuttings, left overs, ready-to-eat foods.I find that these containers enable a kitchen workflow that other containers cannot match.First of all while there are 7 sizes of containers, there are only 4 sizes of lids...brilliant!Now I don't have to dig around trying to find a container with its matching lid.This system has changed the workflow in my kitchen.Before food storage was an afterthought.Now, when cooking, I set out a number of these containers in anticipation.If the dish calls for celery, instead of chopping up a couple of stalks, I chop the entire head into a pint container and throw a handful into the pot.The reset goes into the fridge for the next dish.I find that if I cook three dinners I can eat out of the fridge for the rest of the week.We all eat better for less money.While these containers are advertised as dishwasher safe, I've found that this does not work that well.They will survive the dishwasher just find, but they are light and so get blown around during the cycle.Much better just to hand wash them.What would make this system better is a way to mark expiration date on the containers.I have so many containers in motion it is hard to tell how long an individual container has been stored.I'm going to experiment with a few things: colored dots, erasable markers.At the moment this is an unsolved problem.

These are my all time favorite Rubbermaid containers. They don’t leak, the lids fit very well. They are dishwasher safe, freezer and microwave safe too. The plastic is heavy duty and even if you drop them they do not crack. The snap on lids are very convenient for storing and organizing your kitchen. Absolutely recommend and will never change to another product in this house.

I bought these to use to transport prepped food, for a senior citizen that I take care of. They are super sturdy, not flimsy! The clear plastic sides make it easy to "see" the contents. The lids are tight fitting but not "crazy tight" so you can't get them on or off easily. Some of the containers have "vent" lids... which are nice for microwaving. The varied sizes are perfect for everything from large cuts of meat or big salads... to tidbits of leftovers or small amounts of sauces. No better quality, as far as I'm concerned! I've bought a couple of sets... I'll probably buy more... just to KNOW I've got them handy and ready "to go".
