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 think that everyone should have at least one set of these in their home. They are incredibly handy. They are the perfect size for salad dressing, shredded cheese, sour cream, a scoop of Mila, coins, pills, etc. I love my smidgets!!

Haven't tried the tupperware because it is a wedding gift. However we are a household of tupperware users. Although a little more expensive than comparable products we are secure in knowing that tupperware carries a lifetime warranty. In thirty years that warranty may have been used just once and it was replaced free of charge. We are in Japan and an interesting observation is that most all Japanese think that any sort of vinyl or plastic container no matter what the brand or price is called tupperware. Makes one smile when you see what they use and think is tupperware.
