Re: pots and pans Reply #25 – January 30, 2020, 10:56:30 am Quote from: Jane and Scott - January 30, 2020, 04:25:58 amAnyone with experience with the Rubbermaid Premier containers made with Tritan... I would love to hear how they work for you.Have had and used them for years. Haven't had a single one stain ever, not even from harissa. The only issue I've had is that the plastic does start to craze/develop stress cracks after cycles in the microwave. Mostly if the contents had a higher fat component like cheese (think lasagna) which would cause localized hot spots. Nowadays I transfer the contents of those to a Corelle casserole dish before nuking.Do watch the set compositions, though. While they are often a really good price at the warehouse stores, there will be some sizes, particularly at the small end, that you'll rarely use.

You'd be surprised how often just a smidge of something can blossom into a bit of topping or sauce with some current pan drippings made into a sauce or gravy, or deploying a flour or cornstarch slurry, can produce a nice fillip on your meal.

Re: pots and pans Reply #27 – January 30, 2020, 05:47:54 pm Michelle - Thanks for the info, very useful.Are they easy to clean? The standard plastic stuff gets a little difficult when things have fat in them (e.g. cooked meats even if they are low fat cuts and grease was drained after cooking). The grease clings to the plastic so it doesn't work to do a wipe out then quick wash when boondocking (spray bottle water & detergent, rinse with hot water/something natural to disinfect). I always need to add a squirt of detergent to cut thru the grease - which then needs a good amount of water to rinse it off.The triton seems easier to clean (more like glass), so that the traditional boondocking methods would get any grease (and other elements) off that seem to cling to the softer plastic.Jane
