Editorial Review

Rubbermaid has the answer to the disorganized kitchen. This 20-piece storage set comes with eight containers of different sizes, with doubles of the 11.8-ounce round container and the rectangular 1.7-pint container. Enjoying leftovers for lunch the next day no longer means sauce on your bag and fingers. Keep veggies crisp longer with the tight Rubbermaid seal and never again worry about spilling trail mix on the path.

Food storage means options, and with this handy food storage kit, there are always plenty of them. Choose from sizes ranging from 8.2 ounces up to 1.2 quarts to store anything from small candy to the entire casserole dish for the office potluck. As with any plastic container that is dishwasher-safe, the individual pieces in the Rubbermaid set should only be cleaned on the top rack. Prolong the life of your food or keep your tools and hardware organized. It doesn't matter what you put in them--if organization is the quest, Rubbermaid has the answer. --Eli Huntington ...

Very Practical!
These were great, and inexpensive!Just what I ordered and have suited all my food storage purposes.I would have ordered a higher quality set, if I could have found one, but these worked fine for what I needed (come on it's tupperware, right?)

I should point out that I would not buy these again for my wife as a Christmas present.She made note of the lack of romance in this as a gift.

You won't break a nail trying to open these lids!
If you don't want to spend a small fortune on Tupperware, and you only want a small set of food storage containers, these will do. If you are looking for containers which will stack nicely, these are OK! Tupperware is better for kitchen cupboard storage. These are handy for keeping leftovers in the refrigerator.

Nice set for the price . . .
I've been a long-time fan of Rubbermaid kitchen storage products as a more reasonably-priced version of Tupperware (which is good quality, but not worth the high price). This particular Rubbermaid set is quite nice, including 2 small and one large oblongs; one small and one large squares; one small, two medium, and one large bowls, and one divided oblong dish, each with its own royal-blue "E-Z Topp" lid.

The E-Z Topp lids make removal of the lids a breeze, especially for someone with arthritis (or with a manicure they'd rather not endanger). The "flap" is easy to grasp and large enough to get some real leverage.

I've purchased each of these separately at the grocery store and occasionally at discount stores, usually paying on average (...) or so per item. So 10 items for [the price] is a considerable savings.

My only complaint is that these will stain if you store tomato-based sauces/casseroles/etc. in them. This isn't just a problem with Rubbermaid -- virtually all plastic containers will stain. (One trick I've learned is to coat the interior of the container with a *thin* film of solid shortening [like Crisco] before adding the tomato-based food. This seems to *almost* eliminate the stain.) They also show signs of wear over the years, but then again, what *doesn't* show signs of wear?

One other caveat -- be careful in the dishwasher. Don't use high heat for drying, or you'll end up with lids that will never fit their respective bases again! If you want to use heated drying (for your other dishes), just remove these before the drying cycle starts. If a piece inadvertantly gets only slightly warped, just run very hot tap water over it, and pair the warped piece with a non-warped lid or bowl -- it'll recover its original shape quickly.

For its intended purpose, you can't go wrong with this set. ... Read more
