It's a plastic storage container
It's a plastic storage container. Maybe I should have stored something in it that I wouldn't eat quite as fast as fresh fruit. Because I have no idea if it actually keeps food fresh longer. But it's sturdy and it seals well. So overall I'm happy with it and will likely keep using it. That being said I wouldn't likely pay $14 for it.
Rubbermaid FreshWorks For Longer Lasting Produce
Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver is a great fridge addition for anyone who finds that their produce goes bad too quickly. We try to eat healthy and it’s hard to keep our fruits and veggies fresh so that we can use them all up and not have any go to waste.
So far that has not been a problem with the new Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver – our freshly picked lettuce out of the garden has stayed crisp and fresh for several days now. I particularly like how there is a tray for the bottom of the Produce Saver that keeps the bottom of the lettuce as fresh as the top.
There are three different sizes for this and I tried the medium – I would recommend either the medium or large for produce or maybe the small if you just wanted to store some smaller fruits.
While effective it is a bit pricey for plastic food storage but I would recommend it to friends and purchase it again. I received this Rubbermaid® product as part of ChickAdvisors Product Review Club #gotitfree
C'est un plat de qualité, mais qui n'est pas utile.
J'étais très heureuse d'être choisie pour cette évaluation, car ça nous arrive souvent de perdre des fruits ou légumes frais, surtout les fraises, que j'aime beaucoup!
J'ai donc été acheter mon plat de format moyen (parfait pour un panier de fraises -équivalent de 2 casseaux) au Canadian Tire.
Le jour même on a acheté le petit panier de fraises du Québec à la fruiterie! Elles étaient très belles, pas de fraises à enlever ou défraîchies dedans : parfait pour un test!
On a bien lu les instructions fournies avec le plat : ne pas toucher au filtre sur le côté, ne pas laver ni couper les fruits ou légumes avant de les placer dans le plat... on place le petit plateau dans le fond (qui fait que les produits frais ne reposent pas dans l'humidité... habituellement je mets un papier essuie-tout, c'est la version deluxe haha!
On a lavé le plat à la main après avoir enlevé tous les autocollants, mais tous les morceaux vont au lave-vaisselle...
On a mis les fraises dedans (SANS les laver ni les couper).
Le lendemain, déjà elles étaient moins belles.
Ça fait 3 jours maintenant, et elles sont quand même fermes, donc ça marche un peu... mais elles sont loin d'être appétissantes. Elles ont commé "séché" en surface, la peau a des plaques brunâtres.
Heureusement, on va s'en servir pour faire du jus!
The container that pays for itself
I am so impressed with Rubbermaid Freshworks. I was selected to test a free product in exchange for my honest review. #gotitfree. I received a coupon for the medium size container.
Timing was perfect, as fresh strawberry season started on the same day I picked up my container at Walmart. I picked up a basket of fresh strawberries, and what was not eaten immediately was divided into 2..half stored in I original container, the other in the Rubbermaid container. Within 3 days the regularly stored strawberries were looking old, wrinkled, not appetizing. The remaining fruit were plump, fresh-looking and tasted exactly like they did on the day they were picked.
The container holds about 6 cups. I really like that the cover is not flush with the container, it is tented, so even if some fruit is over the top, it doesn't get squashed. Also, it is clear enough that it is easy to see the contents without opening the container. The square shape makes it easy to store in the fridge.
All in all, I think this has been my favorite product to try. It exceeded my hopes and expectations. It will allow me to buy fresh produce at the Farmers market, and have it for a week, rather than either a second trip to the grocery store, or throwing out ruined fruits or vegetables mid week.
I have already picked up a second container, and plan to buy the large container this week.
There is a $3 coupon available, which helps to reduce the initial cost, which can seem pricy, until you realize how much it actually saves you.
Je vais acheter les autres grandeurs assurer !
J'ai recu freshwork gratuitement. Generalement je n'achete pas des plats qui coute plus que 3$ ! J'ai ete tres surprise de voir que sa garde vraiment les fruit et les legumes frais! Ils gardent leurs fraicheurs et leurs gout comme si ont venais tous juste des couper. Un produit a acheter vous ne serez pas decu :)
Les aliments gardent leurs fraîcheurs !
Je suis très satisfaite du plat FreshWork. Il garde effectivement les aliments plus longtemps avec une excellente fraîcheur. Je le recommande et j'achèterai les autres grosseurs.
Génial!
Ce produit permet de bien ranger efficacement les aliments. On peut bien voir ce que chaque plat contient et mes fruits et légumes se conservent beaucoup plus longtemps!
Great for lunches
I take a lunch to work everyday so having proper protection for my food is key. I usually prepare my weeks worth of lunch on Sunday night so I really need something that will keep my food fresh for a long time. I love this product. It doesn't spill in my bag and it kept my lettuce in my salad very fresh
Fresh and Crispy
I redeemed my free coupon for Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver at Walmart. The price was $11.97 which is a bit pricey for 1 container. The larger ones were more expensive. I was not sure if I would spend that kind of money but it was nice to get it for nothing. I got some veggies ready for lunch today and kept them in the fridge over night and most of the day today. I cut up some red and yellow peppers. I find if I use other containers or zip lock bags the peppers become a bit soggy and not fresh tasting the next day. I was pleasantly surprized at lunch when I tried them. They were fresh and crispy and tasted as if I just cut them up. The container definitely works and keeps your food fresher longer. After using it I changed my mind about the price. It is definitely worth every penny and I will continue to use it for my lunches.
Durable and Keeps Fruits Fresh
When I first heard about the Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver, I thought it just something I could use to keep my strawberries from molding so quickly. I decided to join in the campaign to test one out and received a complimentary product for the medium size. The container feels durable and it sure keeps the fruits and berries lasting a bit longer. I realize it is a bit pricey tho: regular price at $12.99 at Superstore.
