Rubbermaid Commercial Products Space Saving Square Food Storage Container 12 Quart Clear for Kitchen/Sous Vide/Meal Prep

Great quality, perfect size, and 1/3rd the cost of the others!

After seeing this product mentioned in Jason Logsdons' sous vide book and reading a rating by someone who found it useful with their sous vide circulator I decided to give it a try because this item is BPA free whereas the container most often used is not. BPA may not be an issue if this container is used solely for food vacuum sealed, but then again we don't know that for sure and I prefer to err on the safe side. Additionally I've been looking for a container large enough to brine poultry (obviously not vacuum sealed) and this seemed to be the perfect size for my family of four's everyday sized chicken, two Cornish hens or turkey parts. It's important to note this commercial grade (very sturdy & well made) container does not include a lid, but the lid is available on Amazon for a few extra bucks. In my opinion this container with the additional cost for the lid is a bargain. Hubby carefully cut the lid (using one of my expensive knives....doghouse!) so the Anova One would fit with just a smidgen of wiggle room. The previous rating proved totally true. My first attempt at sous vide using this container, it's lid custom cut buy hubby with no difficulty and an Anova One I received as a gift made the best NY Strip steak we've tasted outside of a VERY FEW, VERY PRICEY restaurants. Even then, the difference was very minimal and may have been nonexistent had we let it cook a bit longer. We were just too excited and gobbled it up as soon as the minimum cooking time passed. I'm kind of a perfectionist, very picky about my kitchen and what I actually use when prepping and cooking. This is a keeper!

After receiving all the parts to my order (the Anova Precision Cooker, the Cellar Made Sous Vide Lid and the 12 qt Rubbermaid Container) the day before Valentine's day, I was excited to use it. I was making Valentine's Day dinner for my husband--lobster, filet mignon and asparagus. I was concerned about getting it all prepared to serve at the same time. Everything was easy to set up. The lid fit perfectly and kept the water from evaporating and was easy to remove without taking off the Anova Cooker. The Rubbermaid container is a great size for everyday cooking of chicken, salmon, steaks, etc. I can't wait to try vegetables as well. I highly recommend all three items. However, I ordered the Anova Cooker for WiFi and when I tried to download the app, I got a message that said it was not currently available in the US store (the Apple App Store) even though the instructions point you there and the Anova website directs you there. I emailed me them on 2/13 and have yet to receive an acknowledgement of my email or a response. You can still use the Cooker without using the app, though the point is to be able to control the Cooker without being there. The Cooker did not have very clear instructions on using it but was not too hard to figure out. I first prepared the live lobsters by putting them in the freezer for an hour (puts them to sleep before plunging them into boiling water). Then I prepared the filet mignons which would cook for an hour. I blanched the asparagus for a quick sauté after the rest of the meal was ready. The lobsters took longer than expected to cook and cut up but I new the sous vide Cooker would hold the water at the proper temp for as long as needed. By the time I removed the beef and seared it in my cast iron skillet, the lobster was cold, so I threw the lobster in a zip lock bag and put it in the still warm sous vide water to warm up. While the beef rested after searing, I threw the asparagus into the same skillet and everything was easy to serve!

Great quality! Perfect for marinading prime rib/ roasts, rack of ribs, etc. also great for sous vide.

Works well, but has an odd shape should be square but it’s more of a rectangle

An excellent product, and excellent Price

I used this Rubbermaid 12 Quart Food Storage Container to brine my turkey for Thanksgiving, and it was absolutely perfect. The size is just right for a large turkey, and the square shape made it easy to store in my fridge without taking up too much space. The container is super sturdy, and the clear plastic makes it easy to see exactly what's inside. The airtight lid sealed everything in so there were no leaks, and it kept the brine nice and contained. It’s also great for meal prep and sous vide—I've used it for both, and it works like a charm. The 12-quart size is ideal for family meals, and the best part is that it’s easy to clean afterward. Definitely a versatile tool in the kitchen for both big and small tasks! Pros: ✔️ Perfect size for brining turkey or large cuts of meat ✔️ Space-saving square design fits easily in the fridge ✔️ Durable and sturdy, built to last ✔️ Clear plastic so you can see what's inside ✔️ Airtight lid prevents spills and keeps things fresh ✔️ Easy to clean—dishwasher safe Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for a durable, reliable container for brining, meal prep, or sous vide, this is the one. It’s super practical, and I’ll definitely be using it for many more Thanksgiving turkeys—and all my other kitchen needs!

I have two. I use one for my sous vide, and the other as a catch pan for oil and fluid changes on my vehicles when I need an easy way to measure the amount that comes out. Sturdy and I’m not afraid of them breaking on me. Easy to ready graduations.

Purchased this lid to go with this tub: Rubbermaid Commercial Space Saving Food Storage Container, 12 Quart, Clear (FG631200CLR) for use with my Anova Sous Vide cooker. Sous Vide lids are outrageously expensive for what you get so I cut a hole in this one at the corner, using an exacto knife and it's a perfect fit for the presicion cooker- but keeps the heat in, saving a bit of power. It also clamps the sous vide bags down to prevent the vacuum seal bags from floating or sinking to the bottom resulting in uneven cooking. If you are not needing this for Sous Vide, it has a good snug fit that snaps into place.

No trae tapa pero la foto si entonces es cofuso, si lo quieres completo no es la opción luego es muy difícil conseguir la tapa

Works perfectly well for our use as a container when cooking Sous Vide style .... we also bought the matching lid which eliminates evaporation issues on the long cooks. A great unit with lifting cupped handles making it much easier to lift when full of water etc.

This has been very good i would like to see one a little bigger in length. Very well made easy to clean

Lightweight but seems strong and easy to clean - I can see that this would be a great vessel for dry goods or for marinating a huge amount of ribs etc for BBQ parties but this wasn't my purpose - it is perfect for my Anova Sous Vide. The tub is big enough to Sous Vide four portions of fish or smaller cuts of steak or 2 large Porterhouse steaks. The lids to fit a sous vide cooker are outrageously priced so I purchased this lid to go with it: Rubbermaid Commercial Lid SQ SSC (FG652300WHT) and cut a hole at the corner using an exacto knife. Perfect fit, keeps the heat from escaping and probably saves a bit of power. The lid also clamps the vacuum seal bag in place so it doesn't float all around or sink to the bottom resulting in uneven cooking. - ideal for dry good storage or marinating a large amount of ribs etc for the next backyard BBQ party. I would not use this tub for long term liquid storage (especially an acid base like tomato sauce) as I am unsure about whether this item has potentially toxic chemicals in the plastic.
