Rubbermaid Commercial Products Square Food Container, 6-Quart, Clear

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.

Good quality perfect for the sour dough bowl.

We are a family of 7 and buy flour, sugar, etc in bulk at Sam's Club and Costco. I decided a few years ago that I wanted to get containers to store it in to help better organize our pantry and I happened upon a pack of 2 of these while at Sam's Club. They were a fantastic price and they were absolutely perfect. They fit a lot of flour, sugar, etc in them and are so easy to get a measuring cup in and out of. The containers themselves are a great size for keeping on a shelf and easy to get on and off a shelf; while they're big they're not so big that they can't easily be handled. Aesthetically they're very pleasing and they definitely help with organization. Needless to say I loved them so much that I wanted to buy more, but when I went back they had sadly discontinued them. When I searched for them on Amazon at that time they were incredibly expensive so I couldn't buy more from here. But recently I got back around to trying to find them again and finally found them on Amazon for a great price. I ordered 2 more and was super pleased to find that they are the same quality and I love them just as much. I highly recommend these! A couple things to add- these are definitely air tight and leak proof. The lids can seem quite hard to get on at first, but I found that you get used to how to get them on all the way and it's definitely worth it to get that air tight, leak proof seal. Theses are incredibly durable and I expect that will last 10+ years. These are easy to clean.

I think these containers are great and have many different sizes and shapes. Other reviewers have expressed concern and given low ratings because this item contains a warning for Bisphenol A (BPA). Nearly all polycarbonate contains some amount of BPA, and most people don’t even realize they are using such items because the item didn’t have a label. I think being concerned about the amount of BPA in this polycarbonate item is unnecessary and raising concerns where they’re not deserved. The purpose of this container is for pantry/refrigerator storage, not boiling your food directly inside, so BPA risk of transferring to your food is really nil. Even cooking with sous vide isn’t at a high enough temperature or direct contact with your food to be of concern. These are versatile containers for storing and all types of pantry items or food prep storage. I like to use them for vegetable and salad prep for use in cooking throughout the week. Fitted lids are sold separately for most, if not all, sizes, but a reusable stretchy silicone lid could be used as a less expensive alternative.

Shown in the picture is the 6L container holding a 4.4lb bag of corn masa flour. You can see by comparison, a 5lb bag of all purpose flour is nearly equivalent. You could probably use the 4L container to hold either, but there wouldn't be much room remaining for a measuring cup, or any leftover flour between bags. It's sturdy, but I wouldn't want to drop it from counter height. This is a #7 "other" plastic, so I don't know exactly what kind of plastic it is. It has some flex, but crystal clear plastics tend to be more brittle than other polypropylene plastics (#5) that are not quite crystal clear but have more flex to them. That said, the walls are thick, the top corners are reinforced, and the bottom corners are rounded to help disburse shock if it were dropped. The lid was purchased separately. There's no rubber seal, so I can't say it's airtight, but it does snap down firmly over the lip of the container so it should keep out pantry moths, which was my biggest concern. Its size proportions are more suited to an actual pantry rather than the overhead cabinets I will be keeping it in, but it will meet my needs.

Love it. So far in good condition.

These square containers just ended my round-container rebellion – pantry Tetris champion status unlocked! I used to live in denial. Round containers everywhere: rolling around like drunk marbles, wasting precious shelf real estate, mocking me every time I tried to Tetris leftovers into the fridge. “There’s gotta be space for one more Tupperware,” I’d whisper, only to watch the whole stack avalanche like a sad Jenga tower. My fridge looked like a war zone, and my soul was tired. Then these Rubbermaid Commercial Space Saving Square heroes showed up. Clear as crystal (literally—polycarbonate so tough it could survive a toddler’s tantrum), square so they nest and stack like obedient soldiers. Suddenly, my shelves went from “post-apocalyptic chaos” to “professional chef vibes.” They claim 25% more storage than rounds? Understatement. It’s like they hired a mathematician to optimize my life. Pros that deserve a Michelin star: • Square shape = actual space-saving sorcery. Fits way more in the same footprint—my fridge now holds enough meal prep to survive a zombie apocalypse (or just a busy week). • Crystal-clear so you can see exactly what’s inside without playing “mystery container roulette.” No more opening five lids to find the spaghetti sauce. • Built like tanks—dishwasher-safe, break-resistant, NSF-certified (fancy way of saying “restaurant-grade and won’t give you food poisoning vibes”). • Graduated measurements on the side because who has time for eyeballing portions? Not this aspiring home chef. • Bonus: They look so pro on the counter that guests think I’m fancy. “Oh, you meal prep in commercial containers?” Yes. Yes, I do. Cons? They don’t come pre-filled with gourmet meals or whisper motivational quotes while you portion chicken. But for the price (cheaper than therapy for my disorganized pantry), I’m not mad. If they did that, they’d probably cost as much as a small car. If your life is a round-container crime scene, or you’re just tired of playing fridge Jenga, grab a set of these bad boys NOW. Five stars feels stingy; I’d give 10 if Amazon allowed it. These aren’t just storage containers—they’re affordable peace, pantry efficiency, and a subtle flex on everyone still using circles. Your shelves (and your sanity) will thank you. 🥡📐

As it seems to be the case with most reviewers, I bought this for sous vide cooking with my Anova circulator. It's the perfect size for all but large pieces of meat. At first, I wasn't sure that the depth, which is much greater than the width, would work, but it turns out that, because I can get the circulator properly immersed, it's a better choice for most recipes than the mammoth Cambro container that I also bought. Of course, a lot will depend on both the size and number of pieces you'll be cooking in this way. I like that the sides are straight and that the Anova will clamp on where I want it. The interior measures roughly 8.5" x 7.75", with a height of 8.5". It's about 6" high to the 6 quart mark, 8" to the 8 quart mark. This does not come with a lid, although that can be purchased separately and, if you are using this for sous vide, cut to fit your circulator. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

I had been looking for a container to Sous Vide overnight and this is PERFECT!! When it actually says Sous Vide, you often pay significantly more but this is affordable and a great size. I was able to comfortably fit 3 portions of ribs and one portion of steak. VERY happy!!

Size is perfect for the Anova machine. Recommend, makes sous vide cooking a breeze.

Quite expensive for just a plastic box, but v useful for proving bread and using as a chemical sterilisation vessel for baby bottles while travelling (takes four bottles).

Not a new piece came without the Rubbermaid packaging and scratches on the 2L one The stickers are yellowed out as well

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.
