Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought one of these, then a full set, then a second set. They work. It isn't magic, and it isn't especially complex. Basically, it is a couple of things that make these containers good for fruits and herbs. Each one has a green plastic perforated tray at the base that raises the produce above any liquid that settles on the bottom and allows for air flow. It isn't very high, and can be kind of a pain when it falls out, but it is effective. The second thing is the vent in the lid, which allows some airflow to keep the interior from getting too moist while preventing them from drying out, which would happen if they were put into the fridge uncovered. It isn't adjustable, which is probably fine. Most of the low-humidity items are too large for the containers, like apples, pears, and melons. They've engineered the vents for the higher-humidity items likely to go in them like berries, leafy greens, asparagus, and herbs. The best thing you can do to keep your produce safe other than these containers is to get them into the fridge as soon as possible after buying them. The longer they are in a warm environment, like the car ride home or your countertop, the quicker they will go bad. Washing them is a good idea for health reasons, but won't make them last longer. A product made for washing them is best, but you can also use a solution of three parts water to one part vinegar to wash them and kill some fungi and bacteria. These containers aren't magic, but they are better than the original berry containers, and far better than just loosely wrapping them in the plastic bag they came in and hoping for the best. They stack well, too, if you have enough height between shelves. I do wish they had these in their higher-priced Premier line with plastic made from super-clear Tritan instead of the standard translucent plastic. Perhaps they will do this in the future.
