I like to take a wait-and-see approach on Prime Day, resisting impulse buys until I find the perfect sales and deals. Now that I’ve surveyed the landscape this time around, I’ve identified a standout: a set of four glass meal prep containers from Rubbermaid.
There are a few things I love about this deal. To start, the discount is the best we’ve seen in years, making the set a smart buy for anyone who meal preps (or regularly eats leftovers). Second, Rubbermaid’s Brilliance containers are among the best-made food storage containers I’ve tested. Here’s why.
When I tested a pool of 12 of the most popular food storage containers earlier this year, Rubbermaid’s Brilliance line impressed me with its build quality. The stackable lids are especially great, featuring air vents (so you can microwave with lids on) and a reliable airtight seal. The seal was so good, in fact, that I could shake these upside down, full of salad dressing, without any drips or leaks. That’s the mark of a great storage container, as it’s often the lids that fail first.
I also appreciated that these containers can go in the dishwasher, the oven (without the lid), the freezer and even the microwave. Whereas competitors required special treatment (like handwashing lids), this set’s versatility and durability made saving leftovers and cleaning up a breeze.
