Simply stated, these are the best food storage containers you can buy. They are airtight. They are easy to clean. They are simple to open and close. They really are airtight. They are easy to store. Many of the lids are interchangeable with different sizes so you’re not constantly trying to find the right size lid. I ended up buying quite a few of these and everything is now in beautiful brilliant clear airtight plastic containers. They bounce on the floor. They don’t shatter. This is a top quality product. Thank you, Rubbermaid. Read more
Rubbermaid has a good product reputation, and these Brilliance storage containers are no exception. First, even though Rubbermaid states that these containers are dishwasher safe, I never put my plastic items in the dishwasher. What does "dishwasher safe" mean or imply? I personally believe the water temperature in a dishwasher is far too high and will alter the product integrity (e.g., the excessively high water temperatures can, over time, cause the plastic to become brittle, and make it subject to cracking - or - cause the container to warp, or change the integrity of the rubber-like gasket thus changing the the ability these containers to seal as tightly as it should.) Thus, I feel my time is well spent hand-washing these containers. I have not experienced any cracking, warping, or problems sealing these containers. Given that this product actually performed better than expected, my son wanted me to find a similar, yet larger container to store leftover chili. He wanted round containers to hold approximately 8 to 9 cups of liquid. Bingo, Rubbermaid Brilliance has those also. Oh, BTW, I also do not put any pots, pans, or roasters in the dishwasher! My father, a chef, told me to wash them only in a dishwasher if I wanted to shorten the lifespan of my very expensive cookware. I look at handwashing my Rubbermaid Brilliance storage containers with the same thought in mind. A little Dawn liquid dish soap, and these containers function as if they were new. These are excellent food storage containers. And because they are made of clear plastic and come in a variety of sizes, they can be used in the pantry to store baking goods (such as flour and sugar) and dry foods (like rice, cereal, and beans). In fact, I can think of hundreds of uses for these containers, such as sewing and crafts. I also bet men could use them on their workbench (for nuts, bolts, screws, etc.). Read more
I absolutely love the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers! The clear design makes it easy to see what’s inside, and the airtight, leak-proof lids keep everything fresh for days. I especially appreciate that the lids are BPA-free, which gives me peace of mind when storing food for my family. They stack perfectly in the fridge and look so clean and organized. Durable, easy to clean, and stylish — these containers are a total win! Read more
Great for leftovers, stackable, and clear so you know what’s in the refrigerator- dishwasher safe and no stains from spaghetti sauce. They seal tight but can be tough to open - don’t forget their microwavable Read more
We had some other brand that where older and tops leaked. These a great. Very nice seal on the lids. No leaks. Container is nice and heavy duty. Very durable. Read more
These Rubbermaid food prep containers are excellent. I generally prefer glass over plastic, and I initially thought I was purchasing glass rather than plastic. That said, I have been more than satisfied with these and am actually glad they are plastic. With glass containers, you have to be more careful to avoid chipping, especially when stacking them. Some of my glass meal prep containers have chipped around the rims over time just from stacking and handling. With these Rubbermaid containers, that is not a concern, and they feel much more forgiving for daily use. One feature I really appreciate is the vented lid design. You can simply flip open the latch and microwave the container without worrying about pressure buildup or splatter. It is much more convenient than placing a paper towel over the top and hoping it stays in place while heating. For meal prep portions, these containers are a great size. My meals usually do not even fill the entire container, yet they hold a substantial amount of food. For most people doing regular meal prep, these are more than adequate. If you are prepping something like a very large salad, you may need multiple containers, but for standard meals they work perfectly. Overall, they are durable, practical, and easy to use. I do wish this exact design were available in glass, but even so, I highly recommend these containers. Read more
Great containers for microwave. I have used them a lot and they don’t stain from sauces. The size is great for leftovers. The containers are a good price and the quality is very nice. I like the different sizes that are available. I have one I use to keep pancake mix in. The thickness of the plastic and the ease of opening and closing the container is perfect. Read more
These containers are great for storing liquid foods. If they were glass they'd be wonderful to heat food in. Unfortunately any sauce you heat in a a plastic container tends to stand and melt into the plastic. Definitely a neater build than most in the market. Read more
