The smaller sizes are perfect for taking lunch to work and snack to school, and wash up beautifully! The things that impresses me most about these innovative food storage containers are: * How easily they are stored, with their lids stacked neatly below and snapped into the bottom of the containers. Each of the three different-sized larger container all use the SAME lid, so there is no fumbling around to find the right match. The larger sizes are perfect for preparing meals in advance for my family of six, as well as storing leftovers. It's so nice to open the door and find our leftovers or prepared meals so methodically stacked. The inside of my refrigerator is neatly organized, now, thanks to these containers. Once I received these in the mail, I threw out all that clutter. No more awkward pieces cluttering up my cabinets. Not now, though! Even with all three, 24-piece sets (72 pieces), I have condensed those three cabinets down to ONE shelf in one cabinet! No more searching for the right lid. As a mom of four, these have made my life so much easier! I had three cabinets, each with three shelves, full of mismatched food containers, and it was such a hassle to find what I needed. I had ordered (three) 24-piece sets of Rubbermaid's Easy Find Lids food storage containers about three months ago, and I don't know how I ever got along without them. They don't look like a million dollars and they don't have to because they do exactly what you expect for a reusable plastic container and lid - which happen to conveniently snap together for easy parts organization. All you have to do is take care of it just like anything else you want to last for a long time. I recommend them to my younger colleagues who are just starting their homes and are looking for inexpensive and reusable tools and many people at work use this product to bring their lunch. I put everything through the dishwasher - top shelf for all except the largest containers and lids. We haven't even lost any lids, much less cracked one. We have tossed a grand total of one (1) container since we started using these, because the amount of neglect we inflicted on it rendered it so pitted and odious that nothing we did could save it. They're plastic - not glass or metal, which are more resistant to things like heat vacuums. Or maybe just don't place hot foods in a plastic container and seal them with an airtight lid and then stick them in an ice box before the contents have cooled down. Warping? Is the life skill of not microwaving a sealed plastic container not shared these days? These lids conveniently vent if you lift them off and rotate them about 45 degrees so that they still cover the majority of the food while nuking it. Have we noticed some white pitting in some of the containers? Sure - that's what happens when you let casserole go six weeks past its overdue date or if you decide to microwave literally anything with tomato sauce in a plastic container. I actually just came onto the site looking for narrow, taller versions of this design for pasta and cereal storage. We use them for frozen food prep, leftovers, lunches, snacks, bulk food storage, and even miscellaneous organization. We've added to our collection at least three times. Okay, WHAT are these people doing to their containers that are causing cracked lids and warping them in the microwave? We started using these about two years ago, then bought more because we liked them so much.
