ngunadi 2 Report post Posted July 26, 2010 Let me add some poisons: -Tray and vent system helps extend the life of produce -Safe to use in refrigerator, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher Reviews: "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." "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."

insane 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2010 Yup, it's 1 1/4". If i remember correctly it doesn't have handgrips. I saw the cherry board, it's very nice but the price is a bit steep >$200. I think those are for hardcore fans. I just get the medium one Wait until you see the other kind of chopping board, it would be more expensive. Alternatively, you can opt for smaller size one also. i think i stick to those normal ones first.. budget burst till cannot burst liao :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
