Sharper Image FresherLonger Miracle Food Storage 12 Pc Set (ZN020)

Well I have had the greatest experience with these. I live alone and at the price of food I am glad I have these: My bakery artisan bread would mold before I ate it all. I tried numerous methods and devices to store it with no luck - either blue and fuzzy, or stale and hard. I now put my loaves in the large box in the fridge and and it can last two weeks or more. Trick to storing fruits ( berries) wash and DRY them. I put a paper towel in the bottom of the container, dump fruit on top and let it sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes (lightly covered.) Gravity lets the remaining moisture run to the bottom. Remove the towel, then seal and store. They definately last a lot longer than any other container I had. I use the mini size for fresh herbs - they last longer that way. The thinner big box I store my salad greens in. Again, just spin it dry before you store. The tall vertical boxes are great for keeping crackers or nacho chips from going stale. I liked them so well, a year later when LnT was closing stores here, I got another set for $30 - sweet! The trick to anything wet is to dry it as much as possible before you store.Posted by bettepage at 8:53 AM on 7/20/08
