Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Rubbermaid's Easy Find Lid collection of food-storage containers makes container and lid organization a breeze. Designed with space efficiency in mind, the lids and bases nest together so that they take up less room when stored in a cabinet or drawer, plus the lids snap to the bottom of the bases and to each other, which means no more searching around for the right-size lid. Even more, one lid can accommodate several different-size bases. The square shape allows for conveniently stacking the containers when placed on shelves or in the refrigerator, while super-clear bases provide better visibility of contents. Great for storing brown sugar, rice, coffee, crackers, or leftovers, the 18-piece set comes with the following sizes, plus matching lids: three 1/2-cup containers, two 1-1/4-cup containers, one 2-cup container, two 3-cup containers, and one 5-cup container. The covered containers can be used in the refrigerator, freezer, or microwave, and clean up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher. All together, the collection measures approximately 8-1/5 by 8-1/5 by 7-4/5 inches.

This review is from: Rubbermaid FG7K3900CHILI Easy Find Lid 18-Piece Food-Storage Container Set with Lids (Kitchen)

I am very happy with the Easy Find Lid series. They are very good quality. But then, the many, many other reviewers who all also love these will tell you that. (FYI - ALL brands of kitchen containers count lids count lids and containers as separate pieces.)

So here's some information that is harder to find: all the sets of these that I could find available, and the contents of each set, all in one place.

----------
50 piece set (25 containers, 25 lids):
6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
6 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
3 x 2 cups (473 mL)
3 x 3 cups (710 mL)
3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
2 x Divided 4.8 cups (1.4 Liter)
----------
48 piece set (24 containers, 24 lids):
6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
2 x 2 cups (473 mL)
3 x 3 cups (710 mL)
4 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
3 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
1 x 14 cup (3.3 Liter)
----------
40 piece set (20 containers, 20 lids - walmart only?)
5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
4 x 2 cups (473 mL)
2 x 3 cups (710 mL)
2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
----------
36 piece set (18 containers, 18 lids):
4 x 0.5 cup (118 mL)
4 x 1.25 cup (296 mL)
5 x 2 cup (473 mL)
4 x 3 cup (710 mL)
3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
----------
24 piece set (12 containers, 12 lids):
2 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
2 x 2 cups (473 mL)
2 x 3 cups (710 mL)
2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
----------
18 piece set (9 contains, 9 lids):
3 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
1 x 2 cups (473 mL)
2 x 3 cups (710 mL)
1 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
----------

One more note - I found that buying two of the 24 piece sets was several dollars cheaper than buying either the 50 or 48 piece sets, and would provide a nicer distribution that would fit my needs better. Prices will change, of course, so this may not always be true, but it was for me.

Here's some comparison data for buying a 50 piece set, a 48 piece set, 2x24 piece set, and 3x24 piece set, all of which are in a similar price range:
1x50 piece set: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 3x2, 3x3, 3x5, 2x7, 2x4.8divided
1x48 piece set: 6x0.5, 5x1.25, 2x2, 3x3, 4x5, 3x7, 1x14
2x24 piece set: 4x0.5, 4x1.25, 4x2, 4x3, 4x5, 4x7
3x24 piece set: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 6x2, 6x3, 6x5, 6x7

3.0 out of 5 stars Wish I purchased the Rubbermaid Premier brand instead, November 9, 2010

I wish I ordered the Rubbermaid Premier brand instead of these. These containers are a great idea but the plastic is still plastic. I heated a few things in them and the plastic became discolored and cloudy/bubbled like the cheapy brands do. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra few dollars on the Rubbermaid Premier set (It is still part of the easy find lid system but has a quality heavy duty hard plastic). These red easy find lids are not compatable with the black premier easy find lids. Hope this helps.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for the Fridge or Transporting Food but beware of Microwave Use!!!, March 23, 2010

This review is from: Rubbermaid FG7K3900CHILI Easy Find Lid 18-Piece Food-Storage Container Set with Lids (Kitchen)

I am very happy with the fit and finish of these containers. They work great for storing leftovers in the fridge and for taking food to work/school. However, I reheated some chicken chili in one of them without the lid using a microwave and after washing I noticed that where top of the chili reached that the plastic was etched. Almost like pitting. Visible enough that my grand mother noticed it and you could feel it by touch. It was literally the first time I microwaved one of the containers. FYI it was less than 3 minutes in an 1100 watt GE microwave oven.

So if you're using these just for storing food, they're excellent. HOWEVER, if you want to reheat that food, beware. You should switch to glassware like pyrex or stoneware.
