I’m a food blogger and spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, so when Rubbermaid decided to send me a set of their new food storage containers for review purposes I was really able to run them through their paces. Over the past few weeks they’ve been stuffed with soup, stew, chili, curry, and other random dinner leftovers with great results. I haven’t had a single leak in my lunchbox yet, which is why these have quickly become my favorite containers for taking food on-the-go. What really makes these different from other latch-style containers is the fact that the seal isn’t removable—it’s attached directly to the lid which eliminates any chance of the seal slipping and allowing wet contents like salad dressing, salsa, or soup to slip through the cracks and all over your lunchbox. This, coupled with the built in vents below the latches that allow you to keep the lid on while warming your food, is what makes the design of these containers so brilliant. As much as I’ve enjoyed these containers they do have one major drawback—they’re incredibly difficult to open, so they may not be the best choice for anyone with impaired grip strength or for smaller children who are still developing their fine motor skills (my five year old really struggles when trying to open these containers and usually ends up spilling the contents everywhere.) Disclosure: A six piece set of Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers were provided to me free of charge for review purposes. As always, all opinions both positive and negative are my own.

I bought a set of the Brilliance and I don't use often. For example, I find the 3.2 cup containers extremely difficult to open. Thought I would use rather than them sitting empty, filled with some crackers. Sure its a tight seal, but so hard to open, the crackers went flying when I finally got the lid open. I do fine the larger size easier to open. I might have used the containers maybe a total of 10 times.

I received this product free from SheSpeaks after winning a giveaway. (But I was NOT required to write I review. I chose to do this.) I have been very impressed by the Rubbermaid Brilliance Containers. The seal is the tightest I've ever seen on any food containers I've owned (& that's a lot), & they lock securely (it's not just the usual pop on lid.) I also like that these are clear & I can see what's inside. So far, I've had no problems at all with these. I would say they are very good quality containers.

I switched out every other mix matched container sets and bought multiple sets of these I love them that much. I use the Medium sets for lunches and the Large sets for leftovers in the fridge. I have two sets of each pantry container and everything is easy to look at with the contents easily identifiable. I put these in the dishwasher on the top shelf only because they tend to warp or degrade when on the bottom rack so watch that. The locking feature makes all of my coworkers jealous since mine never spill out the sides or are ever at risk of the lid popping off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the clear color, the clasp and the size is perfect to pack up leftovers to take for lunch the next day. I absolutely love how I can throw this in the microwave and it is dishwasher safe too. I will be purchasing a set for sure.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Rubbermaid's new Brilliance food container is perfect for my family's needs. Not only is the design clear so you can see through easily, but it is stain and odour resistant. Most importantly, the containers are BPA-free. The design also allows the lid to be kept on while heating in the microwave, which prevents splattering (perfect for work lunches) and vents the hot air through small holes that can be uncovered on the lid. It's also leak-proof, so your lunch box is protected. These containers really do have it all. Would definitely recommend.

I absolutely love the container and my husband already his eyes on it to carry his lunch in the container, haha! It’s stylish, lightweight, smart lid lock system makes it leakproof and airtight and its also stainproof and that makes it a complete package, there’s nothing more that I need.
