With all the cooking that’s going on during this time of the year, I bet there is always extra food to store. My review today is on Ozeri’s Green Earth Food Storage Containers Nesting Set with Vacuum Seal and Locking Lids. This set consists of four boxes measuring – 5.0 Qt, 3.2 Qt, 1.6 Qt, 0.7 Qt – giving you options to store large to small quantities of cooked or raw food.
The key to keeping food fresh longer is by removing excess air, so the growth of naturally occurring bacteria is reduced. The only way to do is pumping the extra air out after closing the box. These boxes come with a valve system called INSTAVAC – you would have to simply press down on the center of the lid and air inside will be forced out the one-way valve. I tested this feature by storing fresh produce like berries and lettuce in these boxes in my refrigerator for up to five days. Both stayed fresh – berries did not shrink and lettuce did not loose its crispness. The lids and valve are quite sturdy and don’t see any of these breaking. But, I’m not sure if the valves will last for too long if tossed in a dishwasher. It’s easy to rinse the containers under the sink because they are stain-free. I don’t like to microwave food in plastic – therefore, will not be heating food in these boxes in a microwave. Well, I think this set has a ton of features.

Shut up! Containers that you can put soup in that won’t leak and I don’t have to worry about losing the lid? Yes please!
Nice that it keeps food fresh for long time. I am looking for new storage sets now and this could be perfect. I love that these come in a set of four, can be kept stocked, when not in use, cool.
Definitely will be sharing this because my mother would love these containers. She likes to larger quantities of soups and chilli this time of year. The vacuum seal feature of these containers would be perfect for her.
I am like you, I don’t like to heat food in plastic containers, but these would be really handy for me to store the fresh fruit and veggies I eat daily. I love to keep them in the fridge in containers for easy grabbing as snack for me and the kiddo, and I hate that they go bad so fast if not kept tight in a container like this.
I have a set of these containers and they are great. You can even put soup in them and they won’t leak.
i don’t think i’ve ever seen these before – usually for me food sealing has involved Ziploc bags…
These Ozeri storage containers look fabulous. Love their design. I have loved all Ozeri products I’ve been able to get – green fry pans are great, too.
