Quality Product
I love these containers. They are the perfect size for leftovers or heating vegetables. The lid is tight but I like it. No worries of spills. They are easy to clean and are dishwasher safe. I finally cleaned out all of my old containers that were too plastic and not safe for reheating. Also, threw away the multitude of mismatched lids and containers (where did those items go?). These containers are stackable and now my kitchen cupboard looks organized and neat.

Rubbermaid Brilliance products are excellent.
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.).

Best containers I have ever found.
These containers can’t be beat. I’m in love with all of the sizes. They are dishwasher safe, don’t stain, and they seal beautifully- I can keep fresh strawberries (even the ones bought at Giant that typically spoil in three days) for over a week in these gems. Liquids don’t leak out, and having clear containers also makes it easy for my family to find leftovers to eat, so they don’t go to waste as often either. They aren’t cheap, but absolutely worth the money. The only complaint I have is that periodically I’ll find one a little tough to open, but I’m not sure if that’s just one in my bunch. Even so, I’m absolutely sold on these in every size.

Best food storage containers!
I love all the Rubbermaid Brilliance BPA-Free Food Storage containers that I have purchased. They are lightweight and sturdy. They don’t hold odors. They clean easily. I don’t have a dishwasher so I can’t say how well they do in that environment, but they do easily handwash. I would suggest making sure you clean up, around, over, under and through the seals. They have a little area inside the seal where oils or food bits can get stuck.They are very easy to use but sometimes the seal is so strong, it’s a bit hard to open, but you will never smell your food odors in the fridge again. That makes them especially great for foods that are spicy.They do well with hot and cold foods. I have not used them in the freezer yet.I have been using various sizes for over a year and none of them have degraded. I do not use them in the microwave, as I only use tempered glass or Corelle in the microwave.I buy them in bulk when they are on sale. Worth the money.

Crystal clear
I was looking for food storage to replace old opaque plastic containers and found these clear, snap top ones by Rubbermaid. They are a perfect set and the seal is air tight. Cut apples look fresh even a day after being cut. I hand wash and dry to keep them spotless, although they are dishwasher safe. The snap tops are easy to open and close for my small, arthritic hands. I haven't put them in the microwave yet as I use them for fresh, frozen and dry food storage.

Durable, microwaveable, but sadly plastic
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.
