Rubbermaid's Premier collection of food-storage containers makes container and lid organization a breeze. Designed with space efficiency in mind, the lids and bases nest inside each other so they take up less room when stored in a cabinet or drawer, plus the lids snap to the bottom of the containers and to each other, which means no more searching around for the right-size lid. Even more, one lid can accommodate multiple containers. The bases, made from durable shatterproof plastic, resist stains and odors to maintain clear visibility of inside contents, while the easy-to-seal lids lock in freshness, yet can be removed effortlessly. The covered containers can be used in the refrigerator, freezer, or microwave, and they clean up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher. This 20-piece set includes three 1-1/4-cup containers, three 2-cup containers, two 3-cup containers, and two 5-cup containers. Great for storing everything from sugar, trail mix, and fruit salad to baked goods and leftovers, this 20-piece food-storage container set measures approximately 9 by 9 by 15 inches when stacked together and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Big improvement over the old Premier line,
By
This review is from: Rubbermaid Premier Food Storage Container Sets (Kitchen)
To start with, let me say I realize this review is a little over the top. I mean after all, we are talking about a cheap little container we use to store left-over macaroni. That being said, if you're like my family we end up storing, heating, and washing these containers a lot and we want them to clean up easy, not warp or crack in the dishwasher, and above all, to be safe (especially for use when my wife is pregnant and for storing or heating food for our children).
The original Premier line was the only plastic food storage product I've ever owned that didn't stain when it held tomato sauce. It's wasn't just tomato sauce: all kinds of berries in sugar, purple cabbage, beets, you name it we've stored it. They just didn't stain. They were hard, durable, and the lids were really easy to put on and take off. Microwaving and dishwashing did little to the appearance (they dull slightly but it's barely noticeable). Easily the best product of its kind I'd ever owned. And one day I threw them all away. When my wife and I started our family we took a good survey of the science and decided that the health risks associated with BPA were probably real. We are both very analytical engineers who did way too much research into this. We decided that while the risks to adults were inconclusive there was serious indicators that BPA's endocrine disrupting aspects were very likely a health risk for babies, particularly in the early days of fetal development (one large manufacturer of BPA now refuses to sell it for use in infant products). We decided to get rid of any polycarbonate food containers made with BPA and so the Premier (which contained BPA) got tossed out. We switched to the Easy Find Lids line which was good, but not as good as the Premiere line. In of March 2010 Rubbermaid introduced a new line of Premier food storage containers that are BPA free. These have red lids, a swirl pattern in the plastic and "BPA Free" stamped on the bottom. These are made using the "Tritan" branded co-polymer manufactured by Eastman. Eastman has specifically developed Tritan to avoid the health risks associated with plastics made with BPA. So there are two questions: Is it safe? And does it work as well as the old Premier line? Is it safe? The answer appears to be yes, and I think Eastman has done a good job of publishing their testing methods and using reputable outside research to validate that Tritan is very safe. It passes (of course) the basic toxicity test and skin testing (to their great credit Eastman has published their testing methods for peer review). More importantly none of the monomers used in manufacturing (there are three) interact with the endocrine system. To be specific they were tested by the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School for estrogen and testosterone binding (there was none). It was further subjected to both Ueterotrophic and Hershberger assays by Wil Research Laboratories. The uterotrophic assay test for estrogenicity (basically "does it imitate estrogen") on both immature and ovulating female rats. The Hershberger assays test for androgen affects (most notably testosterone). In both cases there were no affects. (BPA for example has demonstrated BPA-induced uterotrophy in rats in testing done by the National Institutes of Health.) In short, pregnant women and babies can safely use these products: it should not disrupt natural hormonal activity. Does it work? In most cases Tritan is better than polycarbonate and better than other BPA free alternatives such as transparent ABS, cyclic olefin, and impact modified acrylics. About the only thing that the "old" Premier was better at was heat resistance. What distinguishes Tritan from other co-polymers is that it combines hydrolytic resistance, heat resistance, stress tolerance and chemical resistance. Which is to say you can clean in the dishwasher over and over without it warping or cracking. A home dishwasher attacks dishes with heat (up to 70c) chemical detergents, water, and abrasion (when overpacked). Tritan has a transition temperature of around 110c (just enough to let you safely sterilize baby bottles made from it) far above the temperature of even commercial dishwashers. Tritan is also less like to warp or crack under stress than polycarbonate. So whereas the old Premiere might crack or warp after a dozen runs in an overfull dishwasher, the new Premier can survive hundreds of such runs. It's high chemical resistance not only protects it from detergents it means you can store tomato sauce in it. In short it's generally better than the old Premier line except that if you leave both too close to the stove, the new Premier will melt first. So don't do that. I've tried them out myself and I have to say the new Premier line is probably the best plastic food container line out there. I don't particularly care for the swirly lines, but aside from that I really like them.

This review is from: Rubbermaid 7J12 Premier 20-Piece Food-Storage Container Set (Kitchen)
What can I say. Love them. Don't want any other type in my kitchen. Love the new lids. What a space saver. Took them to a BBQ and was able to take the lid off turn it over and set the dish on it to serve. Didn't have to worry about the lid getting lost. Clean up is great. No Stains and they look so nice. Got to get them. You will love them.

BEWARE - IT IS NOT WHAT IS PICTURED!!!,
By a reader "a reader" (Stamford, CT United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rubbermaid 7J12 Premier 20-Piece Food-Storage Container Set (Kitchen)
Beware - they send you the OLD, NOT BPA free model! The new, BPA free model has red covers, just as on the picture, and the swirls on the sides of the containers. They sent instead the plain older model, no swirls, navy-blue covers. Do not care about the swirls, but the reason I'm getting new containers is to replace the old ones with these BPA free. Returned for replacement (And commented as to why!) - they sent me AGAIN the old model!!! Arranged with Amazon for a refund now (originally it eligible for replacement only). One more trip to the post office... And, btw, the shipping was almost the cost of the item itself - would be better off just buying containers one by one in the supermarket, at least I'd see what they are.
