12-Piece Multi-color Joseph Joseph Nest Plastic Food Storage Containers Set with Airtight Lids - Microwave Safe Review

I like this set conceptually. I love interlacing the bottom and top and never have to search for caps. However. The lids simply sit on top of the containers. They don't snap or seal. I can't tell you how many times I've taken one and the lid cracked open and the contents spilled out. I really want to love them, but lids that don't close are just a fatal mistake with food containers. .

These brightly colored bins are made from beautiful hard plastic and fold up nicely, but they're not as functional as real bins. No matter what we do, we cannot make the lids to fit the three largest containers. Don't pour liquid in - it will just squirt out. It's pretty obvious that the corners don't close securely. Even after trying several times, we weren't able to fully snap the lid into place. Hence the tomato soup all over the fridge. Maybe you should have read other reviews before…

Nice to see I'm not the only one. I love J&J stuff. I really liked this set for life in the camper van. But none of the containers close well and I either have leakage problems or spoil the food sooner than it should. I kept oil in one. For the first time in my life I had moldy butter. I use my large ones as salad bowls, not for storage. When using the smaller ones as storage, I add a "press-and-seal" element to the process. I'll probably be donating the whole set to Goodwill soon as…

I bought two sets due to the quality of other Joseph Joseph products I own and the level of shock and frustration I have experienced with these containers is not what you would call reasonable for this kind of things. I was SERIOUSLY ANGRY when I had to struggle with the lids to seal them. I discovered this shortcoming when my beetroot soup was spilled on the passenger seat on the way to work at noon. Of the 12 I have, maybe 5 are really close. This must be a manufacturing issue, but as a…

I am buying this set for the second time. I repeated the order a few years after the first one because some of them went home with friends and didn't return. They're amazingly durable and stack well on the shelf, freeing up space for other things in my kitchen. The plastic is thick and seals easily for the most part. only one problem After washing lids in the dishwasher, the largest lids tend to warp quite a bit over time, making sealing difficult. I started hand washing the largest lids from…

love them for the colors, sizes and easy storage. My biggest problem is durability. You have to be VERY careful when putting the lids on. If you tilt it even a little bit and push down, you'll permanently warp the plastic in the lid and it will NEVER be tight again. This has happened to a few of mine and they are no longer airtight or sealed. I've tried all sorts of ways to bend the plastic back into shape; nothing happens. As long as you handle them carefully, they are completely airtight. Not
