Review on Securely Store Your Food With Prepara'S Latchlok 17.6 Cup Tritan Container by Kenneth Mills

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality - But it's tall!

Update: I recommend using a permanent marker on the lid and put on a arrow to show which direction to push the sliders. I had an aid who takes care of my parents think they snap up and she slightly damaged the clips. The lid itself isn't super clear. A blue purple permanent marker took care of it. Just put an arrow in the direction you want the clip slid and then it's easy for someone who doesn't know how to open it. It turns out the five cup size has become my favorite for freezing dog food. These work great in the freezer. We've had them over a year and they are really nice. If you need something to freeze food and defrost in the microwave, this does the trick.Be sure to measure this out in height before buying it. The tallest one is really, really tall. I ended up preferring the one that was about 12.5 cups. The quality is great! I liked the push snap to lock it. Once you move the clips to the right position it does take a little bit to pop it up because it really suctions.FYI as I saw someone who returned these because they couldn't figure them out - To open these you slide the clips. There are little rubber things that are exposed when the air releases. They are SUPER easy to open once you figure that out. If you don't see two little black tubes sticking out of the lid, it's locked and the sliding clips are probably covering them. Slide the clips to the opposite position, the tubes will be visible, and the air releases then you just pull the lid off at that point. The clips create a suction once you slip them over the tubes. They really are easy to open once you figure it out.
