One of the things that I love the most in my kitchen is my set of Rubbermaid Easy Find lid food storage containers. I won 2 sets one year (one of just the Easy Find lids and one pack with the Easy Find, Premier, Produce Saver and Lock-It’s) and I ADORE them!
I’ve used all the different kinds of Rubbermaid due to those winnings and I’ve used all sorts of other brands and I LOVE the Easy Find lids the best. The containers all nest together, the lids all snap together and my food storage drawer is never a disaster. Which is a sanity saver for me because messes and non-matching things MAKES. ME. CRAZY.
My favorite are the medium square in both depths (I think it’s 1.25 cups & 3 cups — I couldn’t say for sure — all 15 are in use in my fridge & freezer). They don’t warp in the dishwasher (I’ve had them for over a year). They rarely discolor or have melt marks in the plastic — although I no longer put plastic in the microwave :). I use them for corralling hair ties, craft supplies, food, stickers, you name it.
In fact they came out with a new 3 container set that works great for baking items like flour, brown sugar, chocolate chips, etc. I’ve been buying them to replace my icky dollar store containers — I don’t trust them to keep bugs out in a warm climate, but I trust the Rubbermaid.
Do you have a can’t-live-without-it kitchen item?
