Review on Keep Your Fruits And Vegetables Fresh With LUXEAR'S BPA-Free Produce Storage Containers, Complete With Colander And Lids - Set Of 5 For Efficient Refrigerator Organization by Pavan Cormier

I've started ordering a farm box full of produce on a weekly basis and I don't want any of it to go bad. I bought these containers because they're dishwasher safe and reasonably priced. They work extremely well and held up on the top rack of my dishwasher.Please keep in mind that these extend the life of your produce, but they don't perform miracles, lol. If you wash berries before storing (which encourages molding), your berries will get moldy just like any other time you wash and store. Otherwise, I wash all my produce before storing. I don't wash it inside the included colanders. I use those to help control humidity by keeping the veggies away from moisture that may accumulate on the bottom and sides.I recommend following the FDA guidelines for cleaning, which means spray the produce with white vinegar, spray with food grade 3% hydrogen peroxide, let sit a few minutes, then rinse with cold water. Then fully dry them before storing. I pop a towel on my dining room table and let them air dry, flipping them once. I haven't had any gnats, which is crazy awesome, and it cleans off dirt, pesticides, animal drips and drops, bacteria, even viruses (although I'm more into killing bacteria to help avoid mold and food poisoning!). Not going to lie - I'd do it to avoid the gnats if that's all it did! Washing this way also helps extend how long they stay fresh, but the containers are what made my stuff last an extra week or more!The containers are sturdy plastic. The colanders are full of holes so they aren't going to hold up to a ton of abuse, but they aren't brittle or too thin. The lids are finicky at times and I usually twist them around to get the latches to work if I have any trouble, which I usually don't. But it does occasionally happen and a lot of reviewers seem to have difficulty. I haven't noticed anything too awful, just twist them around and boom. It works. Also, I noticed the company listed directions on how to get the lids to snap closed so I'm guessing some containers need extra help. I wish there were lids with vents for the ultra high humidity stuff but I guess not latching the containers could help, lol. I usually wipe off the moisture on the underside of the lid when I'm getting my veggies out and make sure not to let anything touch the top of the container. Moisture is not your friend.Overall, I love these containers and bought a second set to add to my first. Highly recommend.
