These $5 Food Containers at Amazon Double as Colanders

Try as you might, keeping your kitchen organized and tidy is not an easy task. Pots and pans, dish towels, dozens of utensils—it all gets to be a bit much.

That’s why we’re always excited when we stumble upon kitchen gadgets that not only save time, but also space. Amazon shoppers say these fridge containers that double as colanders keep fruit and vegetables fresh for weeks and save time. The stackable design saves fridge and cabinet space, too.

The five-piece set costs $20, making each container just $5 apiece. Each set includes five different container sizes, ranging from 0.3 quarts for berries and chopped up veggies to 4.41 quarts for larger items like lettuce or fruit salad.

Made of food-grade BPA-free plastic, the containers can withstand temperatures of -22 to 284 degrees Fahrenheit, making them dishwasher-, microwave-, and freezer-safe. To save cabinet space, the containers neatly nest inside each other when not in use. When filled, just snap the lid on and stack the containers on top of each other in the refrigerator.

Airtight and leakproof, the sealed environment prevents gas exchange between the insides of the containers, which helps to keep the contents fresh. And while the colander is great for cleaning your fruits and veggies, it’s also another reason the containers keep produce fresh for so long. By keeping liquid away from the contents inside the container, it helps to prevent sogginess and mold growth.

Shoppers say the containers keep fruits and vegetables “fresh for weeks” and appreciate that the stackable design saves fridge space. They also praise the removable colander, saying washing, draining, and storing food in the same container is convenient and saves time.

“These are absolutely the best inventions since sliced bread,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “I have been able to keep the produce (whatever it is) as fresh as the day you bought it for at least three, sometimes four weeks.”

Some shoppers also use them for meal prep, while others say they make great gifts, too. “I have been throwing money away buying fruit, and it going bad so fast,” one shopper wrote. “After nine days, I’m finishing my strawberries and blueberries, and they are still fresh. No soft spots, discoloration, or mold.”
