I needed a bigger container to fit roasts, whole tenderloin, etc. The 12-quart container held two eye of round roasts and still had plenty of room for water circulation. It does better if you have a cover and something to control heat loss over the top. That's typical of any sous vide set-up, though. The sides are almost flat at the top edges, with just a little bit of a bead reinforcing. That means that it's easy to clip bags to the container or clamp the sous vide circulator to the container. The one downside is where to put it when not in use, tt/s probably going to require a reorganization of the kitchen to make space for the sous vide set-up.

I love these stackable square tubs! I have them in 4qt, 8qt, and a 12qt size and I use them to store my dry goods such as flour, sugar, etc. I recently purchased the 12qt container because I make bread in batches and I use this container to hold my dough in the refrigerator until I'm ready to bake. I purchased the lid as well and it works great too even though I only need it to be sealed loosely for keeping my bread dough in the refrigerator. It holds up great use after use and cleans up well with just hot soapy water. The 12qt is large but still fits well in my refrigerator and allows for other things to fit in around it. We don't overstuff our refrigerator though; only shopping as needed. When needed I let it soak for a couple of hours before scrubbing if the leftover dough is really sticking to it.

I love these. I have some that are 17 years old and still look as good as the brand new ones. They're perfect storage for everything from flours to sugars to oatmeal to rice to dry beans to muesli to barley and other grains... Anything I like to buy in bulk goes in these. I've moved several times since starting to use them so have had them on individual shelves in a large pantry of a big house and stacked tall on top of the frig in a small apartment. Either way they're convenient and keep things fresh. I've stacked them as high as 5 or 6 and they nest in the lid of the one beneath perfectly and remain stable not tippy and the weight does not misshape the lids. When baking, there is no substitute for how much easier it is to scoop out the right amount of an ingredient than from bags. I like to buy Bob's Red Mill products in bulk from Subscribe and Save on Amazon and these containers are perfect for storing them or anything from the bulk aisle at the grocery store. Most recently I've bought some of the smaller ones for things like loose leaf tea. I like that they're square and all the same footprint size which makes them so easy to stack. My latest configuration is in a small apartment kitchen where the only space is above the cabinets. Visitors always comment on how cheerful, colorful, and homey they look - almost a decorative feature [see pictures]. Since they're clear you can see exactly what you have both in terms of ingredient and amount remaining. Since I've started using lots of different flours and grains that are similar in appearance, I printed out clear labels with names. At first they seem a bit expensive, but I've built my collection slowly over the years and they last forever and perform so well that I think they're worth every penny. When my daughter got her first apartment, she asked for some of these the first Christmas because it was so inconvenient to bake out of bags of flour and sugar compared to these that she was used to at home. I've been using these for nearly 20 years now and every one I ever bought is still in excellent condition, nearly indistinguishable from brand new ones - you just can't beat that. I'm obviously a big fan and continue adding to my collection. I can't recommend them highly enough!

My fiance purchased this along with Anova (sous vide) cooker! This is the perfect size and the (sous vide) fits perfect! He just puts the protein of choice in a bag, making sure it doesn't not get submerged, sets the (sous vide) and within a few hours we are eating some great food!!

The container itself is very sturdy and made of high quality materials. It has measurement indicators on the outside in clear lettering. It also has handles on the sides for ease in moving!

My fiance paid for this with gift cards that he won at work. He could've purchased anything he wanted from any store and he chose to get this item from Amazon along with his (sous vide) cooker! He could NOT be happier!!

Perfect for the new Bluetooth/Wifi Anova Precision Cooker. At lowest seating position, the Anova has around 1/2" below it to the bottom of this container which is perfect. I bought the lid with it, Rubbermaid Commercial FG652300WHT right here on Amazon. I used a set of Sharpie along with the Anova clip to draw out a cutting template on the lid edge. THen, I used a set of really sharp scissors to cut right through the plastic lid which created an exact template of the Anova Precision Cooker. The end results look like this container was designed specifically for the Anova. Couldn't be happier.
