Anchor Hocking Glass Kitchen Food Storage Containers, Set Of 8 Review

Anchor Hocking Glass Kitchen Food Storage Containers, Set Of 8
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a set of two cup glass containers I purchased for my husband to pack leftovers in for work. I have been disappointed in their performance thus far. The glass edges have chipped from normal use and the lids are starting to crack and in some cases tear across the top. I have used these about 6 months. On the other hand I have had pyrex bowls with plastic lids for years and they are still going strong. No chipping and no cracking or tearing of lids! I would recommend Pyrex over Anchor it is worth the extra money.

Rubbermaid 7J67 Easy Find Lid Square 7-Cup Food Storage Container Review

Average Reviews:

My only disappointment is that they still break down on high microwave heat. I was hoping with new types of heat resistant plastics that this problem would no longer be an issue. I sent my husband off with a bowl of pasta in tomato sauce and I was upset to see that my new bowl was ruined by the heat and had reddish sauce embedded at the broken down plastic level. I did purchase several different sizes and have been very useful with food storage and keeps the food fresh for quite some time. Just need to make them more heat resistant and less absorbable of sauces and such. Then it would be a perfect product. They also stack very nicely and wash up well under normal use. Don't heat on high!

Rubbermaid's new Easy Find Lid collection of food-storage containers makes container and lid organization a breeze. Designed with space efficiency in mind, the lids and bases nest together so that they take up less room when stored in a cabinet or drawer, plus the lids snap to the bottom of the bases and to each other, which means no more searching around for the right-size lid. Even more, one lid can accommodate several different-size bases. The square shape allows for conveniently stacking the containers when placed on shelves or in the refrigerator, while super-clear bases provide better visibility of inside contents. The covered containers can be used in the refrigerator, freezer, or microwave, and clean up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher. Great for storing sugar, coffee, crackers, or leftovers, this 7-cup food-storage container measures approximately 7 by 7 by 4-2/3 inches.

Rubbermaid FG7K75TRCHILI 4.3-Cup Divided Premier Food Storage Container Review

Rubbermaid FG7K75TRCHILI 4.3-Cup Divided Premier Food Storage Container
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased 3 of these great storage containers. They seal perfectly and stack together for easy storage. There is ample space to make plates of your leftovers. I have washed these many times and they still seal perfectly. However I have never microwaved it with the cover on or put them in the dishwasher. I plan on having them last a long time and any container will warp with constant dish washer or microwave use. If you are thinking of spending the money it is definitly worth it although these are now hard to find.

----------
50 piece set (25 containers, 25 lids):
6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
6 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
3 x 2 cups (473 mL)
3 x 3 cups (710 mL)
3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
2 x Divided 4.8 cups (1.4 Liter)

4 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)

1 x 14 cup (3.3 Liter)

----------
One more note - I found that buying two of the 24 piece sets was several dollars cheaper than buying either the 50 or 48 piece sets, and would provide a nicer distribution that would fit my needs better. Prices will change, of course, so this may not always be true, but it was for me.
Here's some comparison data for buying a 50 piece set, a 48 piece set, 2x24 piece set, and 3x24 piece set, all of which are in a similar price range:
1x50 piece set: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 3x2, 3x3, 3x5, 2x7, 2x4.8divided
1x48 piece set: 6x0.5, 5x1.25, 2x2, 3x3, 4x5, 3x7, 1x14
2x24 piece set: 4x0.5, 4x1.25, 4x2, 4x3, 4x5, 4x7

Tupperware Fridgesmart, Small Review

Tupperware Fridgesmart, Small
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the small FridgeSmart medium and the small for use in our kitchen. We frequently buy items in bulk and need to wash and keep separate. The small container is perfect for grapes, lemons and other fruit. It is also ideal for oranges and brocolli crowns. This container when set properly will keep your fresh food fresh. It is also easy to clean. The only drawback was that the lid is somewhat difficult to apply. I also wish it had the valve settings like the medium one does. Overall, this container helps me in the kitchen.

FridgeSmart containers from Tupperware make it easy to create precisely controlled microclimates in any refrigerator, allowing many different kinds of fruits and vegetables to stay fresher longer. Each sturdy plastic container features the famous tight-sealing Tupperware lid, and an adjustable venting system that allows airflow to be regulated according to the contents. A built-in grid in the bottom of the container lets condensation drain away, reducing development of mold while helping to maintain peak freshness. This small container has a capacity of 4-1/2 cups and measures 6 by 6 by 3-1/2 inches. It is designed to stack with other containers in the range, and it is safe in the dishwasher but not the microwave. FridgeSmart containers are covered by Tupperware's full lifetime warranty.

Progressive International LKS-06 Lettuce Keeper Review

Progressive International LKS-06 Lettuce Keeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The reason I stopped eating salads daily was they go bad in the refrigerator too fast. So upon realizing that I need fresh salads for optimal health, I decided to explore options for preserving them. After examining various 'vacuum seal' options, the Lettuce Keeper jumped out as the most logical looking solution. Vegetables, just like plants in the ground, need some air circulation, and the Lettuce Keeper system has all the aspects of vegetable preservation covered. It even has a lower tray from which water evaporates into the storage chamber, which is ventilated. Evaporation and ventilation are applied differentially to various vegetables and fruits.
My experience with the Lettuce Keeper confirms my initial impression of it. It preserves salads far longer than I've seen with any other storage medium I've used. After a week contents show no sign of spoilage or aging. I've not tried any 'vacuum seal' containers, so I can't compare this to that, but I can say this works very well! As per the initial critical review here, the instructions say to place the lid and all on a dishwasher's top rack. I couldn't be happier with this device; and thanks to it, I can be healthier too!

In Progressive International's lettuce keeper, fruit, lettuce, and vegetables stay fresher longer for up to approximately two weeks. The special design lets you wash and store all in one since the container doubles as a colander. A water reservoir in the base keeps produce moist, and adjustable venting regulates air circulation and moisture. The container's oblong shape works for all lettuce types. An extra divider is included for storing different types of produce and is conveniently stored underneath the lid when not in use. A printed produce storage guide is also included for easy reference. Cleanup is easy since the lettuce keeper is dishwasher safe.

Lock & Lock HPL20BS 20-Piece Polypropylene Food-Storage Container Set Review

Lock and Lock HPL20BS 20-Piece Polypropylene Food-Storage Container Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Lock & Lock keeps fresh fruits and vegetables fresher for longer than any other storage method I've tried. I've found they work best when the items are put in as dry as possible, so dry them thoroughly and dry off the condensed moisture that accumulates periodically. Strawberries keep for 2 to 3 weeks as fresh as on the day they were bought. Grapes and cherry tomatoes also keep well for 2 to 3 weeks. Lettuce also keeps much longer, as long as you can get it dried; if it isn't dry, it still turns mushy, but it takes longer than if it were just in a plastic bag. I also use Lock & Lock in the pantry for dried fruits and for crackers.

Rubbermaid 7J93 Produce Saver Square Food Storage Containers Set of 8 Review

Rubbermaid 7J93 Produce Saver Square Food Storage Containers Set of 8
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

Rubbermaid's Produce Saver collection of food-storage containers helps extend the life of produce thanks to its tray and vent system. The vent in the lid allows oxygen to circulate around the produce, while the included tray helps keep the produce elevated about a 1/2 inch away from moisture. The collection also makes container and lid organization a breeze. Designed with space efficiency in mind, the lids and bases nest together so that they take up less room when stored in a cabinet or drawer, plus the lids snap to the bottom of the bases and to each other, which means no more searching around for the right-size lid. Even more, one lid can accommodate several different-size bases. The square shape of the containers allow for easy stacking, while super-clear bases provide better visibility of inside contents. The covered containers can be used in the refrigerator, freezer, or microwave, and clean up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher. This four-pack set includes two 2-cup containers, one 5-cup container, and one 14-cup container.
