Peak Fresh Re-Usable Produce Bags, Set of 10 Review

Peak Fresh Re-Usable Produce Bags, Set of 10

(More customer reviews)
My brother and I decided to try 2 different brands of these bags. He went with the Debbie Meyer and I tried these. (Ok, so he makes a lot more $ than I do!!!). We started on the same day with the same fruit and produce in them and kept monitoring to see which one worked best. They are still both going strong and neither he or I have experienced any spoiled fruit or veggies in almost 2 months. They work so well, we decided to share our quantities with one another just for the bag color difference. We will both purchase THIS product in the future in various sizes. No need to pay more. One clue: trick to keeping condensation from forming inside bag (which rots the food) is to place a few crumpled up paper towels in the bag with the food. Also, I don't close the bag up real tight, but rather scrunch the top together but put it loosely in the frig or on the counter. This way no moisture builds up inside the bag from the gases being released from the food and I don't have to keep wiping the 'wet' from the inside of the bag.
Edit: Nov 2, '09-it has been several months since original purchase of this product and I have finally thrown out the original few bags I used at the onset. Not because they are no longer working effectively, but they have become a bit ratty looking from all the washing, rinsing and re-use. If all the bags in this small box last this long, purchasing this product once/year with just 10 bags is a dream come true. (thinking of giving brother some more for Christmas (giggle)- he'll be set for life! ;)

Preserve the freshness of your fruits and vegetables at home with Peak Fresh Re-Usable Produce Bags, which help to remove ethylene (ripening gas) from within the bag to ensure your produce stays at its peak freshness. Unlike ordinary plastic bags, Peak Fresh bags "breathe" so that damaging gases produced by the fresh produce are removed. Most fruit and vegetables release ethylene gas after harvest, and exposure of the produce to the gas accelerates aging and ultimate deterioration.
This low-density polyethylene film is impregnated with a natural occurring mineral that significantly increases gas permeability, allowing small amounts of ethylene to be removed. The increased permeability allows for the discharge of other gases such as carbon dioxide and ammonia. The mineral also has good deodorizing properties. The bag also has an anti-fog additive in the film that reduces the formation of water drops, and thus reducing the potential development of damaging bacteria.
Pre-cool warm fruit and vegetables in refrigerator before storing in bag. Use a separate bag for each type of produce. Produce must be dry.

Base Brands 16-Ounce Reduce WaterWeek Bottle, Set of 5 Review

Base Brands 16-Ounce Reduce WaterWeek Bottle, Set of 5
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this product in lieu of an aluminum container (like Sigg) because of a few reasons:
1. I wanted to have smaller amounts of water available to me
2. I wanted there to always be a full bottle ready in the fridge at a moment's notice
3. The are smaller, thus fit in the fridge better
4. Different colors give me an idea of how much water I have drank each day
The bottles, about the width of a soda can and the height of a soda bottle, are made of a hard plastic (not squeezable). The colors are very true to the picture-- they are not obnoxious or dull, just pretty with nice designs. The mouth of the bottle is larger than the average bottle of water, not so large that the flow of water is too much, but not so small that you feel like you need to squeeze the bottle.
The white holder for the fridge is compact, taking up as little space as possible but holding the bottles upright neatly. It's pretty tough to knock it all down.
One thing I did not expect and am pleasantly surprised about is that the water stays cool longer in these bottles than expected. Regular water bottles let the water get warm very quickly. These seem to stay cool much longer and really don't have a ton of condensation like regular bottles (they have some, but it seems like less somehow). My water was still nice and cool after a 15 minute drive to the gym, an hour long run on the treadmill and 10 minutes in the sauna! I was very pleased.
The only downside, depending on who you are, is that 16oz goes quickly. For me, a novice water-drinker, 16oz if PERFECT. It is not so much that I can't finish it relatively quickly and not so little that I am wanting more. That is more of a personal thing.
If you are considering it, go ahead and try them! They really are well made and pretty.... while being extremely functional.

The package insert that came with mine says it can accommodate only standard sized eggs: 68g or 6cm maximum (end to end). Larger eggs fit in the cavities narrow end down, but you cannot put the cover on and "lock" it without breaking them.
