Really Do Keep Produce Fresher Longer
I like Rubbermaid products and am always looking to try new things so when I saw these on sale I picked up a set. I wasn't particularly impressed. I love the square design as they stack nicely both in storage, and when in the fridge. The seals are nice and tight, as you'd expect from a Rubbermaid product. I love the little plastic mat at the bottom of the container that keeps the produce away from any condensation. This is especially awesome for delicate veggies like mushrooms or lettuce. It really does work to keep them fresher longer. I no longer have to toss half of a head of lettuce or most of a package of mushrooms due to spoilage from condensation. What I don't love is the cleanup. Those little mats that sit in the bottoms of the containers are not fun to hand wash. Not fun at all. The seals on the covers also seem to accumulate things in them and can be a pain to clean as well. That is really one of the main things that makes them not a ten in my book, otherwise they're really good at their jobs.
