I am not a person of the kitchen or a domestic goddess by any means, but I sure am selective about my food storage. How else am I going to store my leftovers from the great Indian meal I ordered in from the night before? After years of trying to save what was perfectly good food for another meal, time and time again I would encounter the same problem: The containers would become stained, cracked or warped.

Seems like I’m not the only person peeved by this flaw, which is why Rubbermaid recently released a new line of food storage containers that promises to tackle the problem and more. The new Premier line boasts a shatterproof base that will not warp or crack over time or leave any stains or odors. It includes containers in six sizes with Flex & Seal™ lids that Rubbermaid claims guarantee freshness and ease when sealing and removing.

When put to the master test—three weeks of refrigerating all sorts of pasta with thick, yummy tomato sauces and curry-based dishes from my favorite Indian restaurant—Rubbermaid Premier did not disappoint. The meals stayed fresh as if they had been prepared right then and there and there were no “microwave-melting” disasters, dirty-looking stains or nasty-smelling odors in sight (or to smell). What’s more, for the folks who deal with “lost lids” constantly, Rubbermaid Premier’s Easy Find Lid™ design allows its lids to snap to the bottom of the containers for storage, so the right lid is always at hand.

With design and practicality in place—a consumer’s dream—Rubbermaid Premier is sure to work perfectly with anyone’s “leftover” diet.

Rubbermaid Premier is available at www.rubbermaid.com as well as mass and grocery stores. Prices range from 2.49 – 8.99.
