Q: can this producted be used multiple times or reheat in the microwave multiple times
submitted by x - 5 months ago
A: Hello, thank you for your inquiry.
Yes, these containers can be reheated multiple times in the microwave because the bases are microwave-safe for reheating food, but for best results: keep heating to moderate temps (not extreme heat), only reheat (don’t cook raw food), loosen or remove the lid, and use short intervals (1–2 minutes at a time) to prevent warping, melting, or buildup of steam pressure over time.
If you have any more questions, please reach out to us directly via our official Rubbermaid website contact-us page, and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you and have a good day!

Q: Can these be put in the freezer?
submitted by lisa d - 4 years ago
A: Thank you for your interest in our products. Our Rubbermaid TakeAlongs Meal Prep Containers are made of materials that are safe for freezer use. Please note that plastics are less
flexible when cold or frozen and may break if dropped. Also note that water expands when frozen,
so when filled to capacity the container could expand and crack. Have a great day!

Broke immediately in the dishwasher
Not dishwasher top rack safe. Huge chunk broken from one of the three black pieces to go into the dishwasher. The lids survived fine but one out of three, not even ten, is a HORRIBLE survival rate for a first wash.

Good but Fragile in the Cold
They work great except for freezing. In microwave or refrigerator everything's fine. Good seal, plenty of capacity. They do freeze but the plastic becomes fragile. Any hard bump or drop cracks or shatters lids and bowels. The insidious part is that you can't always see the cracks so when you defrost it in the referigator any liquids leak out. I've had it with chili and spaghetti sauce. Also, if you quick defrost in cold water it leaks into the container.

Too big
It was my mistake for assuming these would be similarly sized to other meal prep containers but they’re massive. I don’t need anywhere near 5 cups worth of food for lunch and I doubt they’ll fit in my lunch box. I really wanted bowls and wanted to stick with the Rubbermaid brand but I don’t see that they make a smaller size so I’ll have to go with something else. They do seem to be decent quality for cheap meal prep containers but I doubt they’ll last very long and seem a bit pricey for only 8 of them. And they could’ve added 2 more to make it enough for a work week, 8 seems like a weird number.

Not rectangular...
...these are round so if like me you prefer rectangular containers, be forewarned. They are however a decent quality and plenty big.

Great Storage Set
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are sturdy storage containers. They are perfect for soups and are leak proof. Being dishwasher safe makes cleanup a snap. Since these containers are stackable space is saved in the cabinet.

These Rubbermaid take along bowls hold so much!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 4-pack of Rubbermaid black take alongs that I received free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review are my new favorite things! They hold a lot more than what you can tell from the picture. I used them for food I was taking to Christmas dinner. One held an entire fresh pineapple that I cut up. I put spinach dip in another one. And I had a lot of hand dipped chocolate pretzels in the last one. I was so pleased with how much food you could get into one bowl. They opened and closed very easily. And of course they washed up really well. They would be perfect to take a salad for lunch. I highly recommend these. I would also buy them for myself.
