Good Thing: SNAPWARE®



With food prices on the rise, reducing the amount of spoiled food is becoming a necessity. Thanks to SNAPWARE®'s amazing technology, foods (everything from produce to pet foods) can stay fresher longer.

Last winter, I put some kidney beans (cooked) in a SNAPWARE® container (I have th MODS™ 28-piece set) in my vegetable crisper, and then proceeded to completely forget about them.... Fast forward almost a month later: the rediscovery of my beans. As I popped open the SNAPWARE® technology "snaps," I braced my sensitive nostrils for odors of mold and rot, but much to my surprise, the beans weren't even slimy, let alone rancid. I ended up using them in a salad.

Tip: Do not put the lids in the dishwasher or microwave. The actual SNAPWARE® containers seem fine at higher temperatures, but the lids seem to become a bit vulnerable when subjected to heat.

I bought mine from Costco. I think the MODS™28-piece set was around $45 (not positive on the price).
