Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rubbermaid Premier Food Storage Container Sets
Customer Review: Unsafe Plastic for food consumption
Summary: 1 Stars
These seem great compared to the semi-disposable, however they are made of #7 polycarbonate which is not safe for use with food items. The semi-disposable are #5 which are considered safe. Customer Review: Concerned about the #7
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased this set. I love the clear plastic to see what is in them and the way the lids attach to each other an the bottom of the bowl. My concern is the #7 recycling code and the health scare issues over #7 plastics. Apparently baby borrles made from the hard clear plastics are no longer made??? I realize these Rubbermaid containers have the NSF rating but could not discern if this specifically covered the safety of the plastic in this product. Would love to feel more confident in using this set and buying it as a gift in the future. Any helpful input anyone??Customer Review: GREAT SET

Summary: 5 Stars
We received this set as a wedding present and we couldn't be happier with them. This is just a perfect size for a new couple to start out with. The containers stack together nicely and the tops click together as well, making it easy to store and keep the lids from being lost. We have used several other container systems before these, and always had trouble fitting them into our cabinets in a neat way. This set fits perfectly and takes up almost no space.
We haven't had any problems with cracking, staining, etc but we've only had them for about 6 months. We also only use them for storing leftovers in the fridge, so I don't have experience with freezing them. We have washed them on the top shelf in the dishwasher and no problems.
Overall, we are very happy and plan to purchase more if the need arises.
Customer Review: Good for nearly two years--then the cracking started!
Summary: 3 Stars
I was so taken by Rubbermaid's Stainshield containers after I received a set about two years ago that I ran out and bought a bunch more a la carte at Target. During the first year, I found that one container had a large crack, which I wrote off to something I might have done by accident.
Now, I've thrown away four more over the last month--now five including the one I found cracked about 30 minutes ago after heating up my lunch! These containers are touted as being **shatter-proof**, but they crack like nobody's business. I've been very careful with them--I don't throw them around, heat them up too hot, or freeze them.
The combination of the fact that Rubbermaid's Stainshield containers got a poor review for keeping food fresh from Consumer Reports and my personal experiences indicating that they are not durable, means that I'll be trying another product soon. I've always been happy with Rubbermaid, but this particular product just didn't provide the durability I expected for the light use I put on them.
A note: I bought mine about two years ago. It's possible that Rubbermaid has strengthened their Stainshield technology since then.
