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

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!

I used this Rubbermaid 12 Quart Food Storage Container to brine my turkey for Thanksgiving, and it was absolutely perfect.

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).

Perfect size for home kitchen sous vide tucked away in the corner. Cut the rubbermaid lid that goes with it for a close fit to a Wancle immersion unit to cut water evaporation. Can fit maybe 6 vac bags (on edge) of steak in an IKEA rack. I clean it all in a slim Dishwasher easily.
