LOCK & LOCK Rectangular Food Container, Tall, 37-1/2-Cup, 304-Fluid Ounces

I was looking for some airtight containers to store some valuables in, and I thought I would take a gamble on these Lock & Lock Food containers. Since there are no model numbers for any of the containers, the ones I bought are listed as 2.3L/2.4Qt/78Oz on their label. Amazon also lists them as 9.6 cup (78 oz = 9.75 cup, if you want to be precise. The product description lists the dimensions as 9.1"(L) x 6.5"(W) x 3.7"(H), but I was sure these are the external dimensions. What about the internal dimensions? For my application I wanted something that could store an item that is 3.0" high. Would it fit?I just received the containers, and I must say I am very impressed with them. The plastic itself resembles a clear, tough nylon. Exceptional quality, particularly the hinged lid. The hinges look to me like they will last forever and do NOT require a great deal of hand strength to either open or close. I was worried that because they were so easy to open and close that they might not be truly airtight.So is it airtight? I added a couple of cups of water to the container, snapped on the lid, turned the container sideways, then rotated it in 90 degree increments to test the seal. Perfect! Not a hint of leakage. It is indeed leakproof, and based on my rigorous test, presumably airtight, too!Finally, what about the interior dimensions? Molded plastic items like this always have a small taper to them to let them come off of the mold when they are manufactured; if they used perfect right angles, the containers would never easily come off of the molds. I got out my steel ruler and eyeballed the dimensions at the bottom of the container, where the interior dimensions are smallest. Just based on an eyeball measurement, I would say that the interior dimensions are at least 8.0"(L) x 5.5"(W) x 3.25" (H). Absolutely perfect for my needs!For those who worry about such things, there is a small "made in Vietnam" sticker on the bottom that is easily peeled off.All in all, I rate the Lock & Lock containers to be first rate. As the saying goes, you get a lot of bang for your buck. I don't see how anyone can dislike them. When I want containers in the future, I will unquestionably select Lock & Lock!

There is nothing I hate more than having to throw away food, especially with everything being more expensive these days. This container is perfect for the lettuce I like and keeps it perfectly fresh for well over a week. I buy a loose, leafy lettuce similar to Romaine so it fits in the container just right. All I do is put a paper towel or paper napkin under and over the lettuce to help absorb moisture. I've also used the container for leftover casserole and vegetables. I am very, very happy with my purchase.

Great replacement to Rubbermaid containers.

I bought my first Lock & Lock container earlier in the year because I was looking for a decent size container that would fit a LOT of flour since I bake on a daily basis almost.This is the second time I bought the identical container because it is exactly what I needed, I can fit 2 standard flour packs in there and it keeps the flour dry, clean and safe.If I had to complain about one thing is that sometimes its frustrating to close all the clips but either than that this in an amazing container very sturdy, easy to clean and high quality.I would definitely recommend it and buy it again.

Perfect airtite storage

Perfect container for my lunch salads; I needed something that I could tip without anything leaking out in my bag and this fit the bill. Lock & Lock is great for keeping liquids where they belong, in the container. I own a couple of sets of L&L but this size will come in very handy.

I really love these Lock & Lock containers for pantry storage. I have two large pantry cabinets outside of my kitchen in a "mud room" adjacent to my garage, which are used for our food pantry storage of canned goods, boxed goods, and bagged goods (pasta, rice, cereal, box dinners, crackers, etc.). Often times, these items stay in our storage for up to a year to two years before fully consumed, and we have had issues with infestation in the non-canned items, even when the boxes, liners, bags, etc., were fully sealed (insects bore through boxes, bags, etc. We thought we would try a few of these containers to see if they would prevent this infestation, and made an initial purchase. Some boxed, bagged, and otherwise non-canned food items were placed in these containers with the lids sealed and secure. In several months of use, there have been no food items inside these containers that show any sign of infestation, while a couple of boxes of macaroni and cheese outside of these containers began to show infestation and had to be discarded. We subsequently bought more of these containers, and now have all of our dry, uncanned food items inside of Lock & Lock containers. The great thing is that it is easy to open the container, use just what you need, re-seal it, and be confident that the remaining food will be free of infestation, since these pantry insects cannot get through these containers or their seals.Prior to these containers, we had some success putting food in heavy freezer ziplock bags. However the bags were cumbersome for boxed goods, and for free-flowing dry goods like sugar, flour, rice, beans, and pasta. These containers work well whether the food is stored in its original container inside the Lock & Lock, or whether the food is transferred from the original container to these containers directly for use as the primary container for items such as with sugar, rice, pasta, dry potatoes, and beans.

love how it locks
