Christ the amount of disinformation on this site is astounding. From someone that works "in the field" specifically in the medical area (all those nasty plastics that probably save millions of lives daily, heck I only have a doctorate in the field what do I know), the resin that is used in these types of containers is a copolyester, specifically a resin called Tritan[eastman.com]by Eastman. There are no BPA or BPA analogs used in the production of copolyester, unlike PC. (this is a coPET, where some physical-property-modifying component has been added to the polymer chains of PET to make it more resilient; FWIW PET is what your water and soda bottles are made from) Therefore there cannot be any more BPA/BPS "left" in the resin (container) to do any leeching.
The gasket is made of SPC and ironically is in the same class of resins that is used by a few of my customers in things such as blood bag liners and IV's.
Missing from this entirely but found in the the Costco 18 pc are:
the medium deep 4.7 cup Costco set has two
This is the size I use most followed by the medium reg 3,2 cup and the small 1.3 cup
No use for the tiny 0.5 cup
Large 9.6 cup gets used mostly for freezer or large bags of nuts or dried fruits that don't need access often. The lid takes more work than suits me for frequent access.
These don't melt. The lid is literally designed to have air holes for putting the whole thing in the microwave. Some people say microwaving any plastic is unhealthy. Those people are incorrect.
These are actually my favourite set of tupperware that I've ever used. Definitely worth the purchase!
The holes in the lid make a huge difference because you can leave the lids on while reheating. Been using them for a good year now and it hasn't warped in the microwave. It did crack a little in the microwave, but that was my fault for leaving it in the bottom rack of the dishwasher.
Love these so much almost paid full retail price for them. Thank goodness I held off for 2 months. Threw away all my old Rubbermaid sets with the red lids. After years of spaghetti those all have an orange tint to them. These so far are still clear as much as I try to abuse them.

Ah yes because the review photos of people demonstrating that they do melt in the microwave are all just mean bully liars out to get Rubbermaid.

Most people would do well to avoid putting plastic in the microwave. If it's the kind of thing you're not likely to do, then getting plastic food storage containers isn't going to kill you the few times you nuke 'em. But if you are buying containers so that you can take last nights leftovers to the office to heat up for lunch 4 days a week, get glass.

You are incorrect. Growing evidence suggests that analogs substituted for Bisphenol A (BPA), most notably BPS, are just as bad, and possibly worse than BPA. Of course, Rubbermaid doesn't give a shit about giving you heart or hormone complications. Buy glass.
These "premium" ones are totally worth the extra money IMO - end up saving money in the long run. I bought those cheap Rubbermaid ones on Black Friday and the lids are very ill-fitting and the plastic permanently stains after 2-3 uses (especially left-over tomato soup). My expensive Rubbermaid ones (like this deal) from 5-7 years ago look better/newer than the cheap one's I got on Black Friday 6-months ago!
Finally, a deal I get to approve and weigh in on heavily.
First, America's Test Kitchen did a comparison of all kinds of containers. These are the front-runners in plastic. They were so good, that I bought a few pieces earlier, like, 4x pieces for $20. I did not buy more because of the expense. But, I jumped on 2 sets of these.
Second, they are the only plastic dishware that did not dye orange after holding pasta sauce. I tested this myself about two weeks ago, totally works.
Third, the sizes with this deal are all useful. The small ones are great for spices/small veg.
Four, the little tabs on the side double as vents and allow you to heat things and vent steam in a microwave.
For consumer grade quality, this is the bee's knees. For more commercial use, I'd recommend going Cambro. I have both. Because these are more conveniently sized and more beautiful than Cambro, I would go this route.
This is simply a good line of products. If I sound like a shill, whatever, I seriously farking love this dishware. It is for a really good reason, these are awesome. Get them.

$2 bucks more but better set

No, never microwave! They melt.
For salads and veggies I need a crisper that will breath, For that I haven't found anything better then the Rubbermaid Commercial which have easy access and are indestructible.
