Review on Preserve Fresh Herbs With Prepara Herb Savor Pod 2.0 by Douglas Berry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

An interesting idea but has room for improvement.

Ok, first let me start of a positive note. These pods have worked well for keeping my cilantro fresh and usable for a good couple of weeks. And that is a plus. These get a little trickier for many other herbs I store. They don’t work at all for chives. No matter how I’ve tried to store Basil, in or outside the refrigerator, basil doesn’t store well in these pods. But, the biggest problems I have with these pods are they are top heavy and the doors do not make a good connection so they do not stay closed very well. Which can lead to one knock in a refrigerator and water is spilt. One really must be either extremely well organized in their refrigerator or have the perfect family, who is very adept at carefully going through the refrigerator and carefully moving these around while getting out what they are looking for, which leads me back to them being top heavy. Even the most skilled human can still accidentally knock these pods down while moving items in the refrigerator just due to their shape etc. I will continue to use them, since I just recently made my purchase. But, I think they will lose their appeal. If the company works out details, there is room for improvement and they might be worthy of more stars. They aren’t a total waste. After all they have managed to keep some of my herbs fresh longer than had I kept them in the original packaging I purchase them in at the store.

Pros
  • It's so simple- rinse and pat dry your basil, cilantro, mint, parsley, chives, rosemary, oregano, thyme, dill or even your asparagus. Place them into the Pod and add some fresh water through the tethered filler cap. Remember to empty the old water and refill every 3 to 5 days and the herbs will be happy for up to 3 weeks!
Cons
  • The herb pod could break if dropped
