Rubbermaid 2108373 Meal Prep Premier Food Storage Container 28-Piece 2108373

Very sturdy plastic containers. Use them for storing left overs in the fridge. Could also be used for lunches and whatnot as theyre pretty lightweight. More sturdy than my other tupperware and the lid seats nicely for a waterproof seal. I bought 2 sets of these while they were on sale. Only negative is that the lids dont really sit on top of each other the best making storage of the lids bulky and easy to knock over.

Good product. Shipped well in a nicely packed box. Quick delivery!!

I've used these containers many times. I've stored spaghetti sauce, blueberries, and lots of leftovers. They do not stain and do not pit. I'm very happy with this product. The price was good and it was delivered quickly. They do not leak, seal tightly, are easy to open, sturdy and easy to close. They seal tightly and I haven't had a problem with them leaking. I like being able to stack them in the fridge and cabinet. Very well designed. The size options are well thought out. I have used the smallest ones, which I originally thought would never be used. The material is impressive. K

As a Christmas gift to myself, I replaced all my old Rubbermaids with these. I previously had the original red Easy Find Lid set, and they were looking stained, bubbled, and worn. These new Premier containers are such a huge step up in quality! I have to say, I love the color of the grey lids! So nice looking. When I initially tried them, the lids were very tight and I thought I’d dislike how they snapped on, but once I used them that first time, it’s been no trouble at all to close the containers. The containers themselves are crystal clear, hard plastic. This is the biggest improvement over the old ones because they don’t stain, and they’re super easy to clean. They wash up perfectly on the top rack of the dishwasher, but do expect some water spotting if you hand wash and air dry. I can’t comment on use in the microwave because we’ve really been trying to limit ourselves to reheating in glass only. So far, the 28 piece set has been plenty for our family of four, as there are a variety of sizes. They stack well in the drawer when not in use. It makes me happy to have matching, clean, quality containers. I’ve been very pleased with this purchase!

The Rubbermaid Premier line of food storage containers is possibly the best reusable food storage products you can buy today. This isn't hyperbole - I'll get to why in a few sentences. But first, a gripe: Why are they a) so difficult to find in sets, and b) why does the price fluctuate so much?! It's like their availability is purposely limited. The 28pc sets should be around $30-$40 in Canada (historical pricing, and compared to US prices) but you're lucky of you find a 28pc set for under $50; I waited until it was around that price to buy, and the day after, the price jumped $40 higher! As for the claim, "the best reusable food storage products you can buy today". I stand by that based on experience with the product line. Some 18 years ago now, I bought my first set of these at a popular drug store chain in Western Canada (LD); they were expensive (compared to other products of this nature), but I liked the advertisement on the box saying the plastic wouldn't cloud up, which is a common issue with a lot of plastic storage containers after they get used a bit and washed. Sure enough, that claim is true. This purchase I just made of a new 28pc set? It's to finally start replacing the original 28pc set I bought 18 years ago! That old set is finally starting to show wear and tear, cracks, etc. I still have about 8 containers from that original set (plus all the lids still, so 22pc still), and to this day they are still a) clear with no cloudiness in the plastic, b) still good from freezer to pouring hot soup in, and c) still fit all their lids. I've probably dishwashed each of these containers 2,250 times in the past 18 years. Sure, some have cracked and broken over the years, and we've thrown them out. But not bad performance for a set I bought 17 years ago for around $22. They definitely have served our family well. The original set had red lids and a swirly pattern on the plastic; the current sets are clear plastic with redesigned black lids. The good news is, the lids fit both the old set and the current one I just bought. I've never had this kind of performance from any other container. Over the years, we've had things in these containers that would stain other brands; stink up other brands; discolour and deform other brands. Not the Premier line from Rubbermaid. Not to gross you out, but they've gotten lost in the back of the fridge and grown an inch of mold on top from some 6 month old forgotten sauce, but the lids are tight enough that we couldn't smell them, and after putting on hazmat suits, dumping out the attempt to grow penicillin, giving them a scrub and a trip to the dishwasher, they were "as good as new" once again. Other containers? We'd just toss them out. Regarding this current set, I am making the assumption that they are made out of the same materials as my 18 year old set is; Rubbermaid calls the plastic "Tritan", which I cannot recall on the original purchased items way back when. I do hope it is the same material (looks and feels like it!) because I fully expect this new set to give me 15-20 years of performance too; I also bought the 28pc set so I have a bit of "overkill", as I use them with my remaining 8 containers from the original set, and its 14 lids; as those old items eventually fail, I'll have all these new ones to replace them with. Which brings me back to availability. Why are these so scarce? Why when you visit the websites of big name US stores are they not even listed in stock? Why does the price fluctuate by as much as 100% depending on the time you do find it on Amazon or elsewhere? Our purchase came in what looks like a commercial order box - brown with black graphics on it, not the flashy, "ready for retail shelfspace" colourful boxes it used to come in. Rubbermaid still lists these on their corp site. So it doesn't look like they're discontinued. Anyway, if you do find a set of these, and the 20pc is under $40, or the 28pc is $50 or less, jump all over them. They will last you decades. Highly recommended.
