I primarily use this for brining chickens. I can easily fit two chickens in the container. The lid is nice to avoid messes in the fridge. The handles make it very easy to move the full container to/from the fridge.

After receiving all the parts to my order (the Anova Precision Cooker, the Cellar Made Sous Vide Lid and the 12 qt Rubbermaid Container) the day before Valentine's day, I was excited to use it. I was making Valentine's Day dinner for my husband--lobster, filet mignon and asparagus. I was concerned about getting it all prepared to serve at the same time. Everything was easy to set up.The lid fit perfectly and kept the water from evaporating and was easy to remove without taking off the Anova Cooker.The Rubbermaid container is a great size for everyday cooking of chicken, salmon, steaks, etc. I can't wait to try vegetables as well.I highly recommend all three items. However, I ordered the Anova Cooker for WiFi and when I tried to download the app, I got a message that said it was not currently available in the US store (the Apple App Store) even though the instructions point you there and the Anova website directs you there. I emailed me them on 2/13 and have yet to receive an acknowledgement of my email or a response. You can still use the Cooker without using the app, though the point is to be able to control the Cooker without being there. The Cooker did not have very clear instructions on using it but was not too hard to figure out.I first prepared the live lobsters by putting them in the freezer for an hour (puts them to sleep before plunging them into boiling water). Then I prepared the filet mignons which would cook for an hour. I blanched the asparagus for a quick sauté after the rest of the meal was ready. The lobsters took longer than expected to cook and cut up but I new the sous vide Cooker would hold the water at the proper temp for as long as needed. By the time I removed the beef and seared it in my cast iron skillet, the lobster was cold, so I threw the lobster in a zip lock bag and put it in the still warm sous vide water to warm up. While the beef rested after searing, I threw the asparagus into the same skillet and everything was easy to serve!

This acrylic container is perfect for raising dough in. However, the purchase did not include a lid. I had to purchase it separately. Had the lid been included, this transaction would have been a 5 star rating. Summary, great item for bread making, good value, fast shipping, great communication, but would have liked to have a lid.
