I just received this and used it to pack my lunch for the day at work. It definitely holds a lot (enough for a large sandwich in the big compartment and 2 large quantities of "sides" in the other compartments). However, I learned the hard way that the dividers don't actually reach all the way to the cover, which was what I was hoping for. When I took the top off to eat my lunch, the peanut butter that I put in one of the small compartments to go with the celery that I put in the other had spilled over into the other compartment and made a mess. So for anyone who might be wondering if the compartments are truly separate they aren't. Just wanted to spare others the disappointment of buying this with the same expectations that I had.

This is described as a 'dinner plate sized' dish. Whoa. It's absolutely huge. No one in my family could possibly use this for a serving. Perhaps if two us want to share a plate. The other problem is easier to handle - the lid fits very tight and is difficult to get on and off. The sellers suggest soaking it in very hot water and then placing on the bottom to stretch. That does help. But the product isn't for the elderly who have problems with their hands.

It may be perfect for some users; for me, I like the smaller green one better. And neither is as good for taking meals to my elderly mom as I'd hoped.

I was very impressed with the cereal bowls. However, this divided dish is just way too big to do me any good.I've had it for months but have only used it once or twice. If I could do it over again, I wouldn't have purchased it to begin with!

It is indeed so big that I just don't know what anyone can use it for?

Just got these handy containers this week. I like to cook on a Sunday and divide out the portions for the week. Well they are really nice but as some reviewers have said they are large cups. My husband said don't fill them up and he is a big eater but they are nicer than the little shallow cups you normally see. I had gotten the Rubbermaid ones that "lock". Well let me tell you that one is going in the trash because it never locks shut. These are great.

The Tupperware divided dish container is pretty close to what I wanted. It is a good size, so I can fit all the food I want for my lunch at work. I use it thusly: in the main large compartment I add romaine lettuce and either canned salmon, or beans and brazil nuts. In one of the smaller compartments I put tomato, celery and carrot, each cut up. In the last smaller compartment I put a sliced up apple. Works really well. It has a great sealing lid which does not leak, which is a big plus. It also has a vent for use when microwaving, but I always keep the vent locked since I do not use it to microwave anything. Only thing I wish would be different is the same thing that I saw another user observe, and that is the dividers inside the dish do not go all the way up to meet the cover when it is closed, so when transporting the container,to work for example, often items from one compartment spill over into the other compartments. Not a big deal, but a little annoying. Otherwise I am happy.

Quality is great. Snap top goes on and comes off with ease. Vent is perfect for microwaving. It is a huge container.
