Looking for Answers about Premier?

In Fall 2009, we introduced new versions of our stain-resistant Premier food storage containers. This version of Premier has a BPA-free stamp on the bottom of the container, differentiating it from the earlier version.

The Premier lids are interchangeable with one another, even though the color of the lid was changed.

The premier lids are not interchangeable with the Easy Find Lids Glass.

The lid color was changed on the Premier lids when Rubbermaid changed the product material of the container. The new containers were offered in a black lid at one point in time but have since been discontinued. At this time there are no plans to re-introduce the black lids into the marketplace.

For the Premier containers, the lids are top-rack dishwasher safe. The containers and lids are made of microwave safe materials that can be used to reheat foods to a temperature comfortable for eating. These containers are not intended for cooking.

Remove lid (may place loosely on top to prevent splattering) to allow steam to vent when microwaving. Sealing plastic lids while heating may create extra pressure causing the lid to melt, warp, or create excessive steam build up.

To remove odors, wash them with baking soda sprinkled on a clean damp sponge. For even tougher odors, just soak items in a solution of 4 tablespoons baking soda solution in 1 quart warm water.
