Rubbermaid Specialty Plastic Egg Keeper Food Storage Container , Red

Review of: Rubbermaid Specialty Plastic Egg Keeper Food Storage Container , RedThis is a great egg keeper! You really can't beat Rubbermaid. It's durable, has an airtight lid, you can stack them if you have more than one, the rectangle is much easier to put in the fridge or in a bag than a round one, has 20 spaces for eggs, easy to wash in the dishwasher. IMO, it's the best on my market.

I love this container because of its strength and durability. Many of these deviled egg holders are flimsy and don't close well. This one is perfect.

Very happy to find this tray. Price and quality was great and item was shipped promptly! No issues and do recommend!

So much easier to transport and store deviled eggs. Nice quality.

There has been a lot of discussion between the item description of the Rubbermaid egg keeper, the questions being asked about them, and some of the answers given. I, like some of you, were wondering if this would be a worthwhile replacement for storing farm-fresh eggs in lieu of using the paper and/or styrofoam egg cartons we all repurpose from the store bought cartons we ask our family and friends to save for us. Well, it was worthwhile for me in my situation. I'll explain... I sell surplus eggs to friends and family and over the months have built up a surplus of 12 & 18 count cartons. These are what I was storing all of my eggs, for both personal use and for sale. I prefer to keep the really nice, well taken care of cartons for my personal use, but sometimes they're rotated in and out of the surplus I use for my customers. Long story short, other people don't always take good care of your property. The ones I let them borrow with the eggs I supply wear out over time, are abused, or are thrown away...you get the picture. The rubbermade containers are for me and me alone for storing my personal eggs and surplus eggs I plan on selling. My personal eggs are stored in the fridge in the rubbermade containers and the ones for sale are stored in the rubbermade container on the counter and then transferred to the repurposed cartons at the time of sale... BEST. INVESTMENT. EVER. I have 10 Red Sexlink hens that are 8 months old and lay anywhere from large to jumbo eggs. I don't know what some of the folks replying to some of the questions being asked are calling "jumbo", but to me, a "jumbo egg" is anywhere from 2.5 to 3 ounces. They're BIG. To set the record straight, 20 "jumbo" eggs (by my definition) WILL NOT fit in this container without being placed against other eggs, disrupting the way they sit in the molded "nesting divots", which causes the eggs to sit a little higher, therefore causing the lid to not close or not close properly. I'll add now that the container itself is as sturdy as any rubbermade container I've ever owned. Some say the lid is thinner, but it's not. It just seems more "flimsy" as some have stated due to the fact it's larger than the small storage container lids we're all used to. Bigger means "floppier", but to say they're "flimsy" would be an untruth. Anyway, back to stacking containers with jumbo eggs, you'll have issues stacking them more that 2 containers high without the risk of breakage and/or the stack being unstable and shaky. Everything up to a 2.5 ounce egg will fit perfectly. If I have a few jumbo eggs I merely adjust the location of the different size eggs to accommodate the placement of the jumbo eggs I get. Problem solved simple as that. I will say if you're one of the lucky ones who collect nothing but Jumbo eggs every morning, this may not be the right container for you. I'm including photos showing large and extra large eggs. They ALL fit nicely inside. REFRIGERATOR STORAGE: as you already know, they're are nesting divots for 20 eggs in each container. And due to the fact the eggs are housed laying on their side, the container is a little larger than an 18 count carton in both width and length. I don't have a tape measure handy or I'd measure both, but I'm posting photos that will better describe the size differences and help you determine if this is the right item to fit your needs. One of the things I found to be a plus about these containers is the lower profile. I can stack 4 containers in an area (height wise) that only three 18 count cartons will fit in, but the container is wider. The best way for me to describe it is, in my fridge, I can fit 8 Rubbermade containers in the same area I was squeezing in nine 18 count cartons, 160 eggs vs 162 eggs (in the favor of the cartons, of course). The main thing for ME being, I have 8 NICE, durable, and handy containers I'm keeping for my personal use. A plus side is they double for the whole "deviled egg" thing when the need arises. I haven't done that as of yet, but judging from the design, the cleanup doesn't look like it would be any worse than any other dish I own. I haven't researched this, but it may even be dishwasher safe. No matter how I looked at it, the cartons just don't match up to the dual purpose rubbermade containers. And as others have said, shop around. I won't disrespect Amazon by telling what I paid, but it wasn't the $10-$12 price tag you're looking at here. I'm giving this item 4 stars just due to the fact it should have been designed to hold 24 eggs. I hope this review helps.Troy47/M/Tx

These are the absolute best containers to store and/or transport deviled eggs.And they are very easy to clean and store.

This keeper is large enough to handle even the longest loaf of commercially-made sandwich bread. Wider loaves won't fit without being squashed at the edges, but a regular-width loaf, which is the vast majority of what my supermarket sells, will slide into the case just fine.It is not quite long enough to handle two of the shorter loaves which are so common, but after you've grabbed a few slices, it'll easily hold one full and one partial loaf. Perhaps Rubbermaid also manufactures a shorter version for the smaller loaves.I do not recommend removing the bread from the wrapper and storing it in the keeper, as there will be too much airspace and your bread will dry out. We always just drop the loaf in, plastic + twist tie and all. It slides in very easily (unlike another reviewer's The combination of these (sealed keeper and closed plastic wrap) does seem to keep the bread longer than just the plastic wrap ever did. However, the biggest thing we like the keeper for is protecting the bread from being knocked over, dropped, squashed, spilled on, etc.It's not going to be as versatile for other shapes of baked goods. For example, you won't fit a full package of hamburger buns in here without squashing them, and a package of tortillas would need to be rolled up. For something like that, a large rectangular bin might be more versatile.We own two of these, and the only real negative is that the lid is not terribly flexible. It must be lined up *perfectly* to go on, and usually requires a bit of a whack to make it click into place. I'd take off a half star for that if I could.

This is one of the best finds for my kitchen that I have found in a while. Perfect for boiled eggs / deviled eggs. Great for picnics and family gatherings. Air tight so egg orders do not spill over to other items in the fridge. Loved so much had to buy one for my sister

At first I thought it was too big for my needs. This is not the case. The more devilled eggs the better is what my husband thinks. This tray keeps them separate and looking great, serves easily.

Expensive for what it is, you can buy a lot of similar products a lot cheaper

METO EL PAN DE CAJA PERO CON BOLSA Y LA MANTIENE EN BUEN ESTADO. NO HE INTENTADO METER EL PAN SOLITO. ASÍ QUE CON ESO NO LES PUEDO DAR MUCHA OPINIÓN. PERO EN LO PERSONAL, ME HA SIDO DE MUCHA UTILIDAD.

This is our 2nd one of these from Rubbermaid. The first one started to break down after about a decade. However, finding a replacement in any of the stores was pretty much impossible. There is a Rubbermaid outlet we could have gone to, but who wants to drive for 2 hours just for a bread keeper? Thanks to Amazon, we ordered this for the right price, and had it in our home in just a couple of days. Not only does the container keep our bread fresh longer, it keeps it from getting crushed in the storage cabinet of our travel trailer while we are on the road. We love our Rubbermaid bread storage container.

Lid is strong enough to support something light stacked on top. Impressions are perfectly formed to hold devilled egg halves in place.
