Review on IDesign Clear Plastic Pantry Container: BPA-Free Storage Organizer With Air-Tight Lid For Kitchen, Fridge, Freezer, And Cabinet by John Wei

Revainrating 5 out of 5

PERFECT whether your lazy OR busy - Like a Sliding Square Puzzle in the fridge!

Updated 08/13/2020I've continued to order this product for at least three years now. I use it both in and outside the fridge. Nut assortments, fruits/veggies, instant salad bar, marinating meat. pretty much anything and I am never searching for a lid. They stack perfectly and it makes sense since the fridge and cabinets are square.The recessed lid keeps these from tipping over and you can move them around on the shelf like a Sliding Square Puzzle. MUCH less work while still very organized for my OCD spouse. Easy to clean! You also know right away if something is going bad instead of opening that container masking something furry! I've always been a huge fan of glass containers and I still use them for things that tend to stain. These give you the look of glass and if you drop and break it, it's not nearly as messy to clean up. Although I've lost some of these to some pretty interesting adventures through toddlers, teens, and projects.I lose most of them through the seemingly innocent theft with leftovers!TIPS.1. DO NOT run them through a sanitize or dry cycle in the dishwasher--melts like butter on a hotplate! You can run them through the dishwasher when they are newer if it's not too hot and you get it out before the dry cycle. Depends on your particular situation (water/dishwasher/teenagers used all the hot water.etc). In general, I don't recommend it.2. Cleaning is a snap for anything that is not greasy--just fill about 1/4 with water and some dish soap.close, shake and rinse! For greasy stuff I usually do the same but then let is sit for a bit and sponge it down.3. Leave upside down and open on a towel, drain rack or sitting open on the dishwasher drawer to dry and they won't have streaks or smudges.4. If you like to cut up veggies or pull traps off the vine, etc.cycle them. I usually fill a later container and then dump the contents into a smaller one as it's eaten during the week. This helps keep cut fruits and veggies from getting soggy and growing mold.At one point I ordered one without the sealing gasket and wish I could find those again--some veggies are better off unsealed.I've had both well packed and poorly packed shipments. I have also received a couple with the labels SO WELL ATTACHED attached I want to scream. Guess someone didn't realize I didn't buy this product planning to keep the label on it for visual impact! 🙄I added some shots for those that of you that are asking about sizes. I hope it helps!Original I’ve had many of these and ordered more because I love the product. Two sellers in my order this time and this one was not packed properly (or maybe it was amazon). It arrived broken while the other 3 pieces I ordered from the 2nd seller were packed properly. Again, love the product but packing/shipping sucked.

Pros
  • Can be used in the fridge and freezer as well, providing versatility in storage options
Cons
  • The lid may be difficult to clean
