Yes, they're popular. I don't have any myself but am thinking they might be good for my mother who has arthritis and limited strength in her hands,

These can be very hard to open for someone with arthritis. They aren't build the way they used to be. Stain, crack and break pretty easy. I would definitely not get these.

@ValuSkr These are NOT for anyone w/arthritis. They are difficult to open. One of the reasons we do not care for them.

@Group 5 minus 1 Thank you for the feedback. I hoped someone would chime in. Guess I won't be buying them after all.

@ValuSkr I don't want to confuse you but I find them very easy to open. My mom has arthritis and always uses LocknLock. I have drawers full yet my mom loves them so much she keeps buying me more even tho I tell her I have plenty. I also gave every family a LocknLock piece for Christmas and they all said how much they love them.

I would buy this set for starters. I have all of these offered but it's a great set to begin with.

Do these stain like other plastic ware?

@ValuSkr
I find these very easy to open, and I do have issues with my hands ( probably the beginnings of arthritis)
As far as staining, If I have any sauces (marinara) or tomato based soups, I store those in a used and washed large yogurt tub. Those are saved specifically for leftovers that might stain.
If were going to buy plastic, we should try and re-use it when and where we can.

Is this set nestable with all the lids on? I sent a chat. One rep said they were not. Another rep said they were. Both Hosts, Rachael and Mary, has not shown that they are nestable with all lids on. They usually do a presentation showing however they have not yet. They show with just the smallest lid on.

I ordered them. I've been waiting for a combo set such as this and I like the multi colors too. Good price also.

@Muskies Yes, you can see a picture on the TSV that shows both the round and square are nested together.

I really like L & L. I have way too much. Mine has never stained, discolored in any way. I do not use in the microwave though.

Noticed at Target a large set of Tupperware bowls with lids and they are made in USA. I had to buy some of those too.

@Muskies Yes. They are nestable. The rounds nest with the rounds and the squares nest with the squares. I really like LnL, but I don't need this large set. I really prefer the square and rectangle, because they fit into the refrigerator and storage shelves better than the rounds.

@CJC Yes, they may stain with a red sauce. It's rare but if it does happen to me I just spray a little bleach cleaner, let it sit for a few minutes then place in the dishwasher. I haven't had a permanent stain on any as of yet.

Yup - mine have stained, become discolored over the years; even with just things like chicken/turkey in them. Not horribly discolored, just not as "clear" as when new.

Re: Lock n Lock

brandiwine — Wed, 11 Jan 2023 15:12:35 GMT

@CJC Yes they stain

Yes I see that the bowls are nested, but I have not seen them nested with the lids on. There was a presentation with just the smallest bowl nested inside with the lid on, but not the complete set. They usually show the Host putting each lidded bowl inside the next larger bowl, but Rachael nor Mary did not do that. I'm still not convinced.

My mom is elderly and has Arthritis, she definitly cant open these. I have trouble sometimes if the bowel is filledto the top. I do like them as everything stayes fresh but they do stain and the seal breaks after some time..

There seems to be a difference of opinion over whether these are good for people with arthritis in their hands. Maybe I'll just forward the video to my mother and see what she thinks.

On another note, what happened to Chris Pryme?? Someone else - "Patty Kramer" - is presenting today.
