Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Almost everyone I know has a kitchen cabinet with a pile of mismatched containers and a bucket of lids.We had one too.Now we don't.
I decided to toss almost all of what we had and replace it with these Rubbermaid containers in a variety of sizes.
THE PROS:
--Two or three different container sizes will use the same lid, so there are fewer lid sizes to keep track of.And all containers that use the same lid will easily nest inside each other.
--They have been in the microwave and top rack of the dishwasher several times now, and they still look new.Time will tell how they hold up.
--The lids snap very firmly onto the containers.No way these things are popping open or leaking.
--I avoid using plastic to store foods with tomato sauce, because they tend to stain.I decided to try one of these with some, and after storing spaghetti overnight, then holding it while it heated up in the microwave, the container cleaned up perfectly.So they are at least more stain-resistant than the cheap GladWare containers and the like.But I will still avoid doing this too often.
THE CONS:
--The lids have a deep crevice and are hard to dry.I prefer to dry stuff immediately and put it away.These I have taken to just putting in the dishrack and letting air-dry.Getting a towel edge down into that crevice is tedious work when there are more than a couple of lids to dry.
--It's hard to get a lid or container bottom to snap onto a tall stack of the lids.
Between these two nitpicks, I docked them one star.But they are still fantastic containers.
TIP:If you're going to buy a lot of these to revamp your kitchen like I did, buy the 24-piece sets to build up your collection of the smaller containers.This set has equal numbers of all sizes.All the other sets have way too many of the smaller containers and only a couple of the medium-large ones.The very large ones aren't in any sets, except maybe one thrown in with a huge set of mostly tiny ones.So you'll have to buy the larger ones a-la-carte.

Product Description:
Rubbermaid's new Easy Find Lid collection of food-storage containers makes container and lid organization a breeze. Designed with space efficiency in mind, the lids and bases nest together so that they take up less room when stored in a cabinet or drawer, plus the lids snap to the bottom of the bases and to each other, which means no more searching around for the right-size lid. Even more, one lid can accommodate several different-size bases. The square shape allows for conveniently stacking the containers when placed on shelves or in the refrigerator, while super-clear bases provide better visibility of inside contents. The covered containers can be used in the refrigerator, freezer, or microwave, and clean up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher. Great for storing sugar, flour, chips, or baked goods, this 9-cup food-storage container measures approximately 9-2/5 by 9-2/5 by 3-1/5 inches.
