The best food container for my hot food.
The Rubbermaid Brilliance containers are rigid, leakproof, and offer greater utility than the average food storage container. Premium is the word to describe internal and external construction. The Rubbermaid Brilliance storage set is BPA-free. These containers feature Rubbermaid’s StainShield technology, which resists stains and residual odors.
No more spaghetti sauce stains on your food containers. I use the Rubbermaid Brilliance containers to freeze or reheat food. Most importantly, these containers are dishwasher-safe! The gull-wing style lid latches have a positive locking feel and click into place. When the latches are opened, a little vent hole releases hot air and prevents the lid from being suctioned into place. Also, this is an excellent feature that prevents unwanted messes.

What Are My Options?
Rubbermaid’s On-the-Go food containers come in a variety of sizes and various quantities. You can get a 9-piece set, 10- or 12-piece set, salad, or bento-style set. They fit in various lunch boxes and are stackable, so fridge organization is neat.
Click on this link to see which set we ordered. We bought the ten pieces, which included three containers and three lids. For the inside, it includes two mid-width modular inserts and one full-with insert. It also came with a rubber-coated divider, so your inserts are held nicely in the container.
What we love most about the Rubbermaid Brilliance On-The-Go containers is their ease and function with our busy lives. These have a premium feel but are still lightweight for transport. Rubbermaid uses a proprietary plastic called Tritan, which gives a clear and spot-free look to the storage containers they make and market. These containers are not flexible, so you do not have to worry about crushed food or a mess in your lunch bag.
Since the containers are BPA-free and leakproof, they are perfect for a busy family that adds more value than past containers. The lids have a durable, strong seal and are highly effective. You can feel the lid contacting the container and locking it and can be assured that it will not leak while used.
Just The Good Stuff
- Premium feel
- Microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe
- BPA Free
- Modular design
- Lid seal and latch design
