Food Storage Containers September 19, 2022, 09:49:04 am While wandering through Costco one day we spotted a set of Snapware food containers. So we thought we would try them at home. That was a good choice as they could be used in a microwave (we don't), freezer, refrigerator, etc. What we liked was that the snap lids worked well making a good seal and when unused the lids and containers nested well in the storage cabinet or drawers. Disclaimer: We have no dog in this race. This is just a personal opinion.Come time to travel. We got a few more containers and tried applying them to food storage in Villa Verde. We were very pleased to see how well these containers (particularly the rectangular ones) fit in the refrigerator & freezer and still allowing air to circulate around them. (See pix) When stored the nesting took up less room. So we got an extra set of containers for the motorhome. There were some sizes we needed a few more of and we ordered those on the Snapware web site. We are continuing to be happy campers.Mike C 2 Likes

We decided to purchase some also from Costco and have been using them this past year. Other than one or two of the lids not snapping completely, we are quite happy with them as well.

Re: Food Storage Containers Reply #4 – September 22, 2022, 10:23:53 am We switched to Rubbermaid brilliance containers some time ago.I can’t tell from the internet how easy it is to clean the snapwell, but I got tired of the amount of water needed to clean the typical Tupperware/Rubbermaid old style cloudy plastic, especially if there was any amount of fat in the food. Since we do/plan to boondocka lot easier to clean with less water is a big plus. With the rubber brilliance, a wipe with paper towels gets just about everything off, so only a small amount of water is needed to make it squeaky clean (similar to Pyrex or glass but less problems with breaking if you drop it).Any feedback If the snapwell is made with the easier to clean plastics (like Tristan or whatever is used in the Rubbermaid brilliance) - that wipes close to squeaky clean would be appreciated.
Re: Food Storage Containers Reply #5 – September 22, 2022, 06:50:57 pm Just my 2¢When I was looking for storage containers for pasta I found some on Amazon under the name of Komax. I bought two and then another two and have been using them in my house pantry with excellent results.Perhaps something from the Komax site would work for you.Amazon.com: KomaxAmazon.com: Komax Biokips Pasta Storage Containers w/Locking Lids (Set of 2)...
