Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids Food Storage Containers, Racer Red, 40-Piece Set

I have now purchased six sets of the Rubbermaid Easy Find Lid systems. Six might seem excessive, but they have a tendency to disappear, so I don't actually have six sets in my cupboard. Sometimes it is a kid forgetting one at school. Sometimes it is when we take one to a get together and forget to take it home with us. Sometimes it is when my husband brings a bunch home all at once from work leaves them on the work bench and then the dog gets to them and decides they are chew toys. I mean these are so great that the dog even loves them, even if it is just to chew on them. Thankfully he just chews and doesn't eat the plastic (that could be quite the vet bill).Now I could get upset and buy the cheap disposable storage containers, but those seem to be just as expensive as the Rubbermaid containers and they don't stack as nicely or nest, so instead I just replace them when our stock gets low. I don't even get upset about losing a few storage containers now and then because after figuring cost I realized that I spend more per day on allergy medicine for my family than I spend on each piece (lid and container) of Rubbermaid.For the cost these are the best storage containers I can find. They stack easily in the fridge and keep my storage container cupboard organized. Rubbermaid also has a green lid set that is for produce which helps keep your produce fresh, where they can tend to get squishy in other containers. Rubbermaid also makes a glass version of these storage containers as well as a premier which uses a plastic that does not stain, though those versions of the Rubbermaid Easy Find Lid system are more expensive.A few tips for storage containers:If you are storing a red sauce like spaghetti sauce rinse the container with cold water before putting the sauce in it this should keep the container from staining. I can't explain why but it was a trick mom taught me and it seems to work every time and I always regret it when I don't use it because I end up with stained containers.If you are not using a produce container and want to keep hour salads fresh fold a paper towel up and put it at the bottom of the container. This will keep the salad from getting soggy or squishy. You can also put a paper towel around your lettuce and pack it with your sandwich, then when you are ready for your sandwich unwrap the lettuce and add it to your sandwich, no more soggy sandwiches.Other reviewers have included a breakdown of what comes in each set. Unfortunately these configurations change regularly so I have done my best to give an update on what is in each of the sets. There have been some sets that seem to indicate they include a divided container. The only sets that I have been able to verify have a divided container are in the premier line. The sets listed below are only the basic Rubbermaid Easy Find Lid Sets and DO NOT include the premier, glass or produce sets. I have compiled the list based on what I could find currently so do still check the contents listed for set you are purchasing as the configurations of the different sets change regularly. Also sometimes it is less expensive to purchase two smaller sets than one large set so check your prices, you might also get a better variety that way.50 Piece Set:6 - .5 Cup6 - 1.25 Cup3 - 2 Cup4 - 3 Cup2 - 7 Cup1 - 9 Cup48 Piece Set:6 - .5 Cup5 - 1.25 Cup2 - 2 Cup4 - 3 Cup3 - 7 Cup1 - 14 Cup40 Piece Set5 - .5 Cup5 - 1.25 Cup4 - 2 Cup2 - 3 Cup2 - 5 Cup2 - 7 Cup36 Piece Set4 - .5 Cup5 - 1.25 Cup4 - 2 Cup2 - 3 Cup2 - 5 Cup1 - 7 Cup34 Piece Set4 - .5 Cup5 - 1.25 Cup4 - 2 Cup1 - 3 Cup2 - 5 Cup1 - 7 Cup30 (24 piece set with 6 piece bonus) Piece Set3 - .5 Cup2 - 1.25 Cup3 - 2 Cup3 - 3 Cup2 - 5 Cup2 - 7 Cup28 Piece Set5 - .5 Cup3 - 1.25 Cup2 - 2 Cup1 - 3 Cup2 - 5 Cup1 - 7 Cup28 (24 piece with bonus 4 pieces) Piece Set4 - .5 Cup2 - 1.25 Cup2 - 2 Cup2 - 3 Cup2 - 5 Cup2 - 7 Cup24 Piece Set2 - .5 Cup2 - 1.25 Cup2 - 2 Cup2 - 3 Cup2 - 5 Cup2 - 7 Cup22 (18 Piece with 4 Piece Bonus Piece Set3 - .5 Cup2 - 1 Cup Twist and Seal Containers (bonus)3 - 1.25 Cup1 - 2 Cup2 - 3 Cup1 - 5 Cup20 Piece Set3 - .5 Cup3 - 1.25 Cup1 - 2 Cup2 - 3 Cup1 - 5 Cup18 Piece Set3 - .5 Cup2 - 1.25 Cup1 - 2 Cup2 - 3 Cup1- 5 Cup16 Piece Set3 - .5 Cup2 - 1.25 Cup1 - 2 Cup1 - 3 Cup1- 5 Cup

I ordered my first set of Rubbermaid easy find lids while using an Amazon.com gift card.I love rubbermaid as a company and have used thier products for years. Since I have found the new easy find lid product line I have fell in love with them.I used to have all sorts of lids of many shapes and sizes along with containers none of which nested near as well as the new easy find lids do. My old supply of rubbermaid and Tupperware took up nearly 3 cabinets and were a pain to locate matching lids to the containers. When I asked my husband what he thought of getting rid of the mixmatch lids/containers he was totally thrilled. Now that I have gotten my first 40 count set I only use less then 1/2 of one of the shelf cabinets, lids and containers together. And all of the lids fit the same size opening so no searching for just the right size lid for the matching containers. My husband is thrilled not to have to search any longer.I am sold and plan to add another 50 cnt set to my collection. I have even told several friends as well as giving a set as a house warming gift.I would recommend these for sure.I am thrilled to see that this product is also BPS free as well.My only consern would be that if not completely dried the lips of the lids MIGHT get mildowed if nested tightly before water has evaperated between them, but as of yet I have not had such a problem since I air dry my dishes.I don't have a dishwasher so I cannot varify how this products works in a dishwasher.Great product!If you are not sold on it you can purchase a single bowl/lid at Walmart and or Targets,note; that they are a much better price in a set though.

I bought this as a gift for my grandmother for christmas...she tends to destroy storage containers (we still don't know how). It didn't dawn on me until I opened it up how small they actually were. There's little tiny ones that you could probably put some leftover veggies in (if you eat alone and make small portions, or only have very small portions left from a meal)..these are the .5 cup ones. Set also includes:1.25 cups3 cups5 cups7 cupsThe 1.25 cups are also fairly smaller than I thought they would be, but you can still use them for random little items. The best part about the set is the 7 cups...it looks small but it's very deep. I have 9 cup ones at my house and I actually like the 7 cups better because it's deeper rather than flat and bulky.They store fairly well, but putting the lid on the bottom of each container and stacking them isn't practical. One the lid is pushed to the bottom of the container, you can't put another one the same size on top of it without making your own jenga-type funhouse in your cupboard.They're sturdy and have lived through the dishwasher and the microwave so far, they clean up easily. I wouldn't say they're "stain proof" just because we put red sauce inside one of them and when we washed it the next day the plastic did have some 'darker' tints to it from the sauce (and that was just from one night...we even ran it through the dishwasher and everything).Overally, they're a great product for the price. Thanks a bunch! Happy Holidays!

Delicate thin plastic used. Inferior quality product. Even the package seems to be opened and repacked.
