 The Best Friend a Grape Tomato Will Ever Have! October 4, 2008
Hippie2MARS (Chattanooga, TN United States)
These containers are TERRIFIC! I bought the middle-sized container first, and promptly fell in love with the performance of the product. I then purchased a larger set (6 container set, 2 of each size) elsewhere simply because I could not find the same set here.
I LOVE cherry and grape tomatoes, but have a devil of a time keeping them fresh. Same goes for lettuce. I live alone, so produce does not go quickly around here. Now I can open a bag of salad mix, plop it in one of these containers (the 14 cup container holds a whole bag!),and I've still got fresh lettuce for a least a week, maybe two! I've got one in the fridge filled with salad mix, one with cherry tomatoes and a third with chopped celery, onions and green peppers. Normally I'd be rushing to eat all of those veggies up before they went bad, but now I can use them at my leisure. Truly worth every penny.
Cool storage feature too: the grid and lid snap onto the bottom of the container so you can keep them together in storage. Brilliant! I left one at my mom's house when I was visiting (because I was snacking on grape tomatoes on the trip there) and she has been raving about hers too. The best kitchen investment I've made in a good long while!

If you are like us you have grapes and blueberries in the fridge at all times. Before we were placing them in bowls with paper towels to suck up the moisture.
These containers are fantastic.
Also they are made of Polypropylene so they are BPA free.
 Dried my vegetables out too much.... September 3, 2008

I was excited about these storage containers as I eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables and it's hard to keep them for more than a day or so. These containers dried my fruit and vegetables out TOO much. They were dry and shriveled after two days. The only way to solve this was to actually ADD moisture to the containers with a wet paper towel.

I originally purchased these on a very cynical whim. My mom had tried the "bags" which failed miserably so when I ran across this set I really had very low hopes. Well, here are my results:
So far I've had the same blueberries in one of these containers for THREE WEEKS. I purchased and washed them on July 19th, the day before a dinner party, put them in a Produce Saver bowl and put them in the refrigerator. Some were eaten at the party, many weren't. Today is August 10th and I guess I'm going to have to break down and make muffins with them or something because they're as fresh and plump today as they were 3 weeks ago.
Grapes stay so fresh in the large container (I buy 2 big bags at a time now) that after a week even their stems are still green. The grapes themselves are crisp and cold.
My strawberries lasted for a week the last time before they were finally all eaten. Not sure how long they would hold up as they are pretty popular. I just wash them, drain them, de-stem them and pull out all of the already questionable berries, put them in a medium container (holds about 2 lbs of berries without stems), stuff them in the fridge and walk away. We are just able to reach in and snack on fresh berries whenever we want.
And a big one -- tomatoes. Already sliced or diced tomatoes are nas-tay after they've been refrigerated overnight. I have stored diced tomatoes in the small bowl for a week and a half and they were just as tasty as the day I diced them. Not at all soggy and grainy.
Currently I have one of these sets and an extra medium bowl. It's on my shopping list to get another set ;-) They've already saved me a fortune in fresh produce and I've only had them for about a month! My next experiment will be with bananas.... If my large bowl is ever empty long enough.
 Failed miserably! August 4, 2008

Within 24 hours a container of strawberries had become mushy and one started to mold. The drainage tray takes up considerable amount of space at the base of the container and while the tray keeps the produce from setting in water the container itself is not ventilated enough to prevent condensation from building on the fruit thus supercharging the conditions necessary to grow mold and mildew.
I was not able to put all the fruit in the container and upon comparison to the fruit left in the packaging from the store it was proven that it was not the fruit that was spoiling but the container that was holding in the moisture.
I'm not sure about other fruits and vegetables but on slightly moist/plump fruit (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries,) It failed miserably.
