RubbermaidBrilliance Glass Storage 4.7-Cup Food Containers with Lids Set of 3 Clear

Brilliantly designed! These are perfect in so many ways:1) They are only rectangular in shape. Circular food storage containers just waste space, and having a mix has always bugged me.2) The heavy-duty glass does not produce shards of glass like other food storage snap glass brands I have used.3) The lid is amazing. Many snap lids from other manufacturers have creased folds in the plastic. These creased folds are DESIGNED to fail. Rubbermaid took a different road and made the snaps from a different plastic piece altogether.4) The handles of the glass do not get hot, even after a long time in the microwave. They also make it very easy to transport security.5) The lid is microwave safe and won't get stained by tomatoes6) There are only 3 lid sizes; this makes it super easy to find the right lid for your container7) Water-tight/fantastic seal8) Unlike the food storage containers with creased lid tabs, these tabs do not get stuck in the grooves of the dishwasher.9) They fit so nicely in the fridge, sitting on top of each other.Very minor cons:1) They don't have a divided glass storage container (They only make plastic ones)2) Wished they had a 1/2 cup container3) Wished they had a 9, 10, or 12 cup container4) Wished they had a 6-cup container5) They could have flared the glass ever-so-slightly more so that it stacked a little more compactly (For storage, I stack the 1-cup sizes together, the 3-cup sizes together, the 8-cup sizes together, etc.)6) The plastic lids will likely eventually get brittle and crack. I hope they sell replacement lids at that point.

We absolutely consider these one of the best staples in our kitchen. I know lots of folks might think they look like meal prep containers, but we use them for just about everything - every single day. We love the glass, first off. We don't love microwaving or reheating leftovers in plastic, so the glass containers are a great choice. The lids fit all our containers, so easy peasy and no fussing with trying to find the right lid. Good value for how often we use them and our drawers are more tidy with all the containers that stack the same size. We have smaller ones as well, so they work all together and keep neat, tidy lines in the fridge as well and you can easily see what's in each on. We love the feature on the lids where you can pop the handles up and then microwave (thanks to the vent holes). Just so stellar.We have had Rubbermaid Brilliance plastic containers before, but they didn't last especially well (cracked before the warranty was up). These glass ones are much more durable and we expect them to last a long time. So glad to have them. These larger ones are great for soups and sauces - don't leak or spill. We just can't recommend them highly enough.

These were received as a self-gift, for our home use. We LOVE our friends, BUT grew tired of our friends returning our Tupperware STAINED. This happens every time when the gift contains tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, or other “stainable” food products. (We’re of Italian heritage.) We would always present the food gift saying, “Please, remember to re-heat this [food] in a separate container.” I’d venture that 80% of our friends took the “easy way out”, cooking the food in our plastic containers! When the plastic containers were returned, they were permanently stained and I tossed them! UGH!These glass storage containers with tight fitting snap-on lids, fit our frozen foods MUCH nicer, and the food lays flat (like chicken cacciatore). These containers are easily stackable, the glass is thick enough to be durable from freezer to oven, the snap-on lids keep air out, and the containers are refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, microwave + oven SAFE! I can verify that the seal is tight! I dropped a a closed container of hot spaghetti sauce on it’s side and there was NO leakage! The clear glass provides a clear view the contents, even while frozen.Out of habit, we remove the plastic lids if the glass containers go directly into the microwave or oven for heating the food. For the microwave, we place a “microwave cover” on top. I don’t’t know if the plastic lids are microwave safe. (We’ve used a microwave cover for years, that keeps our microwave clean!) My family member uses these containers for carrying food to work, as well. He now prepares, packs + refrigerates several days worth of lunches in these glass containers. He’s commented that the food stays as fresh in the glass containers, as the food was on day 1! He previously was buying his lunches on a daily basis. These containers have saved a us a bundle of $!In fact, we’ve been SO HAPPY with this purchase of GLASS storage containers, that we were gifted the plastic storage containers (by another family member), of the identical brand, in various sizes*. To my shock, warm/hot spaghetti sauce has been poured multiple times into the plastic containers and the plastic containers DIDN’T stain, either!These are QUALITY products, by a QUALITY brand. I urge you to buy these. You’ll be 100% happy with your purchase!* As a Senior, my hands shake, my grip loosens + I drop a LOT of items: glasses, plates, silverware. etc. I can lift and carry with 1 hand only, as I must hold on to the counter, furniture, railings, etc., when I walk, due to neck and spine issues.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have been using these for years, they always outlast any other brand I have ever tried. Plus, they are dishwasher safe!

I love these storage containers! They don't get hot when I microwave them. The lids make these almost air tight. It's a good variety of sizes and we use them for everything. Very happy with this purchase.I researched glass storage containers for a few weeks before I got these. Have held up nicely for almost a year now. Nothing has cracked and we wash in the dishwasher all the time.
