These are great containers. At first, I was very disappointed in how poorly of a fit the lid and container were. But I decided to try them anyway, and proceeded to sanitize them properly.

Being a chef for six years has taught me many things. One of which, you should always boil new plastic containers for at least a minute (best at 5 minutes) to remove any contaminants from manufacturing. We get enough plastics and other chemicals in our diets already. And if you are buying for your kid's lunches like I did, you should do this purely for your family's sake.

The trick to plastic containers with fitted lids is that after you boil them in plain tap water for at least one minute:
1. Remove from boiling water using a pair of tongs or a slotted spoon.
2. Tip the container/lid so most of the water drains back into the pot.
3. Immediately find it's matching container/lid from the pot, and after draining it as well, put the two pieces together.
4. Allow to cool.
5. The lid and container should now be a much better fit. They might still be snug, but should be much easier on your fingers.

Don't take my word for it though. Please only try one at first to make sure it works as well for you as it does for me.

I hope this helps everyone purchasing this product.

I ordered these little containers to keep sauces and salad dressings in my daily lunchbox. Initial impressions are that the lids are hard to put on and the size is smaller than expected. They do seem to be made of a durable material and hopefully the lids will wear-in over time. Probably a good product for certain needs, but unless you need something very small a 2 oz or larger container would be a better choice.

These are the perfect size for dips for my 2.5 year old's lunch at daycare, but the lids are super hard to put on and get off. Like the other reviewer, I am hoping they loosen up eventually.

A must have for carrying anything small that you don't want to get lost. I keep asprin in mine. I received my first one as a hostess party gift more than twenty years ago and it's what I carry my asprin in. They are just awesome. I definately recommend these.

When I got these, I could not get the caps on the container - they were slightly too small. I think this is buy design so they stay tight. I put the caps and containers in some boiling water to soften them up, put the tops on and let them cool. They work great now. And, they continue to break in to be easier to open and close, but always keeps a tight fit. We've gotten long use out of these containers - this was a second batch I've purchased.

These containers are ideal for sauces or small items in a lunch. Because of the small circumference of the lids, they are a little stiff, but I was able to put them on with no problem. A plastic bottle opener opened them easily. I would purchase these again.

This product is awful. DO NOT BUY IT. I wanted small containers for my son's lunchbox. The tops DO NOT fit on the bottoms they come with. I tried every which way and could not get them on. The tops are too small. Annoying and frustrating. They are going in the garbage.

I love hummus but too much of a good thing can be bad, with that in mind I bought these. They are the perfect size for someone with portion control in mind. When I first took them out of the box they looked way too small but I now think they are just the right size

I would not even give this one star. The lids did not fit the containers so they were useless.

I bought these for my boys to take condiments in their lunch boxes. They are perfect for caramel dip for apples, ranch for veggies, etc.. Just the right amount, spill proof and nothing to throw away. The only down side is that they are a bit difficult for the kids to remove the top by themselves. Overall, they are great!
