Save shelf space in your kitchen with this 12-quart clear food storage container, ideal for bulk prepping or sous vide cooking. Its durable, clear polycarbonate construction withstands temperature extremes, while easy-to-read measurement markings allow for precise portioning. Note: Lids are sold separately, but this container is perfect for storing everything from fresh produce to marinating meats. Great for families, meal preppers, and anyone needing serious storage capacity.
Reality Check
Rubbermaid Commercial Products’ Square Food Storage Container is a 12-quart, clear, polycarbonate bin designed for versatile kitchen use, from meal prep to sous vide cooking. Its squared shape optimizes shelf space and the transparent sides allow for easy viewing and quick measuring. This particular container is built to handle temperature extremes, is dishwasher safe, and is compatible with several lid models—though it does not come with a lid by default.
In practice, the container performs reliably for most storage and cooking purposes. However, a common drawback is that the lid is sold separately, which can be inconvenient if you want a true airtight or spill-proof seal right away—especially when handling liquids or using for sous vide. Some users have noted it can crack more easily than hoped, so care is needed if you routinely handle it roughly. The large size is well suited for families or bulk meal preppers, but could be overkill for single servings or small batches.
– Best For: Home cooks or meal preppers needing space-efficient, high-capacity food storage or a reliable sous vide container
– Not Recommended For: Those seeking a container with an included, airtight lid or people only storing small portions
What Customers Say
Customers find the food storage container works well for sous vide cooking, particularly with Anova devices, and appreciate its size, accommodating three to four steaks or a family of five. The container fits well in the kitchen sink and is considered a quality investment for the price. Durability and lid compatibility receive mixed reviews – while some find it durable, others report it easily cracks, and while the lid is perfect for some, others note it’s not included with the container.
