Hard to find Rubbermaid Commercial Food Grade Square Food Storage Container 12 Quart. Perfect for my sous vide cooking. The container walls are perfectly vertical so there is no vibration from my Anova while operating it. No BPA, beautifuly clear with 12 liter markers showing how much contents are in the container. Size is 10,1/2" x 11" x 7,3/4" Super easy to clean. Lid is sold seperately. I am a new to Sous Vide cooking. Next purchase sous vide rack. lol

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!

The Rubbermaid Square Containers have not only simplified my kitchen organization but also expanded my culinary horizons. I was introduced to these containers by a chef friend who was using them for sous vide cooking, and it didn't take long for me to follow suit. These containers have quickly become indispensable in my kitchen. What's immediately noticeable about these containers is their space-saving design. They nest neatly within each other, optimizing storage in my kitchen cabinets. The square shape offers efficient use of space and fits perfectly in my refrigerator and sous vide setup. The commercial-grade quality of these containers ensures that they are durable, easy to clean, and capable of withstanding a wide range of temperatures. They are perfect for sous vide cooking, as they can handle the precision and consistency required for this cooking method. Thanks to these Rubbermaid containers, my kitchen is more organized, and I'm exploring new culinary techniques, just like my chef friend. They've become a vital part of my kitchen routine, and I can't imagine cooking and storing food without them. Whether you're a professional chef or a home cook, these containers are a fantastic addition to your kitchen arsenal.

Bought in 2017 exclusively for sous vide cooking. After eight years and it cracked on the bottom near the plastic injection site. Eight years is a good run!

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

I bought a Joule last year during Prime Day with all these thoughts of sous-viding up a storm, but since I read that you can just use a pot with it, I didn't bother wasting money on a container or tools specifically for that cooking method. Turns out I wasn't very good at keeping my Joule in my pot and my Ziploc submerged, so I wasn't a sous-vide convert and used the Joule exactly one time. Fast forward a year later, I came across a recipe for turchetta that intrigued me and of course, it used the sous-vide method, so I decided to dig out my Joule and try again. . .but this time, with some proper equipment! Enter this clear container! Seems so simple, but along with a hinged cover and some vacuum bags (all from Amazon!), I found the process so much easier and not annoying like my first not so joyous experience. I did consider getting a diff. recommended brand, but this one was so much cheaper, and honestly, works perfectly for what I need. It seems durable and as long as you don't drop it or something like that, should last a long time. Since the water stays clean in sous-vide cooking, I left my container with all the water in it for a month (covered) and then reused it and it was fine - no leaking. I'm using mine for the one purpose, but if I emptied it out, it would also make a nice container for plenty of other uses, especially because it has the convenience of measurements and handles! I would definitely recommend picking up one of these containers (plus a lid because it doesn't come with one) if you're getting into sous-vide cooking - it's an affordable way to simplify the process!

I was not sure what this would be and as it turns out this is a great tub for Sous Vide. light weight, yet strong and stable handles the heat with no issues and is a great size for my vac pac bags. Very happy with this. Yes I would recommend it.

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

Product is okay. But too many scratches and doesn't look like new one.

Produkt ist obwohl anfangs Bedenken doch brauchbar. Seit Jahren im Einsatz im harten Gastronomiebetrieb. Allerdings hats eine miese Produktbeschreibung. Da muss nachgebessert werden(Übersetzung).

Container is big enough to accommodate anything you want to cook. Very sturdy .
