Review on Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids 7-Cup Square Food Storage Container (Pack of 3) by Barbara Ortega

I like Rubbermaid storage containers because they are inexpensive, can be used in both the microwave and freezer, and last a very long time. I have a few of these 7 cup containers as well as a 14 cup size. I also have at least a dozen smaller 2 and 1.2 cup round screw top containers. I mainly use the 7-pack for leftovers, but also for baking, slicing fruit for smoothies, rice and quinoa. and ice cold soup. They close quite tightly and my food seems to stay in it a little longer. I always wash my hands with hot, soapy water, but they should be dishwasher safe. The only downside to plastic containers is that they are prone to staining, especially from tomato-based products. I spray my containers with some vegetable oil before pouring in something like tomato sauce and this usually keeps them from discoloring. However, if you reheat it with tomato sauce, it will stay there forever. I definitely recommend the Rubbermaid line, especially if you're going to be buying quite a few containers. They can be stowed away quite compactly and ensure order on the shelf and in the fridge.
