I've long been a fan of the UltraSeal containers and when I had an opportunity to get a set of these bowls, I did so, one of each size offered.
I've spent some time washing, using, and storing them to see how they'd fit in my relatively packed kitchen. I love them!
Whether preparing soups, stews, or salads in advance of the evening meal, these do a great job for a few of us up to a mob depending on how many are expected that evening. I haven't tried them in the freezer, but I don't expect they'd give difficulty as I use the 4 and 5.7 cup rectangles in the freezer to store meals for 2-3 such as curries, stews, and soups.
My husband cuts up a watermelon nearly every week throughout the summer. He then stores the watermelon in the fridge with a wet paper towel over it. The largest bowl in the set has saved my fridge from watermelon spills and what-not and has saved the watermelon from drying out, getting funky, etc. The latches hold everything in, no worries of spills! The sizes are perfect for storing different sized fruit and vegetables. I use them for more than that, but right now, in the peak of fresh fruit/veggies season, this is where we are at. LOVE THESE BOWLS!!!
This product is good, but, when holding the product on the side, with the lid on, it will leak. Pressure being applied to the side walking or shaking the contents, the contents will leak out at the round edges of the bowl part of the container. I perceptive that the edge of the bowl part is not thick enough to withstand the squeezing and flexing causes the liquids to come out. The lid is fine, maybe the latches need to be wider or make the bowl rim thicker is my suggestion.
I bought my first large bowl six weeks ago, it worked perfectly for storing a large ham in the fridge. So easy to open and close, unbelievable. The best part is my husband was so impressed with it, he told me to buy more of the product in different sizes. It fits so well in the fridge and I like the flat top, easy to place another dish on top, being that I don't have a lot of extra space in my side by side fridge. I plan on buying more storage bowls as I find them in the store. Thanks! Chick
Bought this to freeze my wedding cake top so we could eat it on our one year anniversary. Didn't wrap in it plastic or foil. Just put it in the container and in the freezer. Defrosted it for our anniversary and the cake tasted like it did one year ago. Not a spot of freezer burn either. My husband was surprised as well as everyone I have told. I was quite surprised as well. Very happy.
I am a nut farmer in Canada. I purchased these bins to store Roasted nuts. They last so well in these bins. However only problem is I cant purchase them anymore. HOpe you can help
