Rubbermaid Industrial Merchandise, House Saving Sq. Meals Storage Container, 12 Quart, Clear, for Kitchen/Sous Vide/Meal Prep

Upgrade to the decades of so-so food storage boxes I’ve had
I’ve got two of the 5-quart containers so far. I wanted to try them out before buying more. Note: you must purchase the lids separately – also available here on Amazon. I did a fair amount of research before landing on these (OK, my wife thinks I’m obsessive about product selection!). Glass containers are nice, but potentially fragile, heavy, thick walled, lower capacity than similar plastic ones; great for some folks – just not my preference. I’ve used polyethylene containers (like KitchenAid) for many years and they’ve been fine – I just wanted to move to something sturdier that wouldn’t pick up odor. In the end, it came down to these Rubbermaid Commercial containers or very similar products from Cambro. They’re incredibly close, and you’ll find either one in commercial kitchens – for good reason. They’re crystal clear – you can see right into them to see your food. Sizing is designed so you can easily stack them, and they’re extremely sturdy.The 5-quart containers (and corresponding lids – don’t forget to order these as well!) are a great size for me. Two of these will hold a 15 lb bag of Basmati rice split evenly between them. One of these will hold 5 lbs of flour, or 5 lbs of sugar: if you bake frequently it would be great to stack a few for different types of flour, white / brown / confectioners sugar. The lids are a snug fit and are clearly air-tight.I’ve used the two for rice for a few months now and am very happy with them. I’m placing an order for a few more today for flour and sugar. A bit pricey, but I expect to have these for many years to come.

Sous-vide in the Clear, 12 Quart Container
A note about this review: I did not use this container for the advertised purpose. Instead, I used it as many others have and will, as a sous-vide bath for cooking. My review will be from this point of view.Positives+Works great with Anova Sous-vide+Sturdy, even when full of water+Clear and easy to see the items cooking inside.+Easy to cleanNegatives-Is not BPA FreeI purchased the clear 12 quart storage container for the sole purpose of using it to cook with my Anova Sous-vide. I wanted something that would be large enough to accommodate large meals for when I have friends or family over, and it definitely does. I can easily feed 6 people with the space and though I have not tried, probably up to 10. Because the container is so much bigger than the pot I was originally using, it does take longer to warm the water, but as long as you fill it with hot water from the tap it should not take too long before you’re ready to cook.I also purchased the lid (linked below) for the container to try and prevent loss of water through evaporation. The lid is flexible plastic and I had no problem cutting a hole into it for the sous-vide to pass through. The lid sits pretty snug, even with multiple binder clips holding my sealed food circling the rim.Overall I think this is a great container for sous-vide cooking. It is sturdy even when filled with water, easy to see through to your food cooking inside, and works great with the Anova sous-vide.Container Lid:Rubbermaid Commercial Plastic Food Storage Container Lid, Square, White, 12 Quart

Compre estos contenedores que conservan muy bien las frutas y vegetales. Ahora con la pandemia tenia que comprar muchas frutas y verduras que me duraran por 15 días, puse las frutas y verduras en estos contenders y podría mantener la frescura mucho mas que en la caja/bandeja del refrigerador. Compre las tapas por separado ya que no las traen.

I bought this expressly for cooking using the sous vide method and it’s wonderful for it. It is robustly constructed and large enough to hold a large beef roast.This container is made for food storage and after having bought one am looking into buying more as rice and grain containers.I definitely recommend this product.
