Prepara Latchlok 5.25 Cup Tritan Food Storage Container, Set of 2, Clear

Update: I recommend using a permanent marker on the lid and put on a arrow to show which direction to push the sliders. I had an aid who takes care of my parents think they snap up and she slightly damaged the clips. The lid itself isn't super clear. A blue purple permanent marker took care of it. Just put an arrow in the direction you want the clip slid and then it's easy for someone who doesn't know how to open it. It turns out the five cup size has become my favorite for freezing dog food. These work great in the freezer. We've had them over a year and they are really nice. If you need something to freeze food and defrost in the microwave, this does the trick. Be sure to measure this out in height before buying it. The tallest one is really, really tall. I ended up preferring the one that was about 12.5 cups. The quality is great! I liked the push snap to lock it. Once you move the clips to the right position it does take a little bit to pop it up because it really suctions. FYI as I saw someone who returned these because they couldn't figure them out - To open these you slide the clips. There are little rubber things that are exposed when the air releases. They are SUPER easy to open once you figure that out. If you don't see two little black tubes sticking out of the lid, it's locked and the sliding clips are probably covering them. Slide the clips to the opposite position, the tubes will be visible, and the air releases then you just pull the lid off at that point. The clips create a suction once you slip them over the tubes. They really are easy to open once you figure it out.

I love this product.

I have six of these used for storing many things. Until I watched a video on how to open them, I was getting ready to tear out all of my remaining hair. They are excellent for storage, open and close very easily, but until you know how to open and close them, they are very frustrating. Added:10/12/2024 The sliders on two of the Prepara Latchlok 13 Cup Tritan Food Storage Containers have already broken. It takes very little for them to break. As you will see on the Amazon page describing these containers, they have a high enough return rate that Amazon suggests you read the reviews before purchasing them.

I'm wanting to batch cook things like chili, soup/stew, rice & veggie stir-fry, spaghetti and Sheperd's Pie. I want to be able to cook extra and keep those extra servings in the refrigerator so my husband and I can choose what we feel like throughout the week days. These containers can freeze, have a setting to allow steam release in the microwave, and has pour spouts. They stack perfect to save space in my frig. My frig is cleaner, I know what I have in there, when something is eaten up, I wash it out, make a new recipe, label the container with a dry erase marker. I have no science experiments. If we aren't interested in eating a 3rd meal it goes into the freezer.

I really like this product but one of the lid latches broke apart and there's no way to repair it. Be very careful opening it only from the corners when it is unlocked. If you don't pay attention or if you let someone else open it it will probably end up broken.

I bought this for dog food storage - We get tbat Fresh food brand. It does the job. I like the way the locking clips on the lid are set up.

Confirm it is top rack dishwasher safe. The latches do take up a little extra space, but this is a difficult size to find at a good price. One latch came apart during shipping, but snapped back together easily. The latches do not slide around on their own & provide a good seal. They can be stacked but do not nest together, if space is an issue.

Fits a whole big constrained of oxi clean!! And keeps it fresh!

It's a bit stupid when you think about it. Why design clips that are different from everything else on the market that basically do the same Job? The plastic is nice and clear but breakable and I don't fancy putting this in a dish washer or the microwave but you can, but I wouldn't.

I love the leakproof and locking mechanism.

I bought this for bread storage and it's perfect for my bread rolls

Arrived super quickly, and I’m delighted with the food containers!

cute containers and perfect size but cant be stacked still debating to return. them they seem to be really air tight
