The tip: I was told, when I bring in a lot of cucumbers, but cannot can them the same day, to immerse them in cold water first, then put in these containers. I'm always taking notes for the next year, so if you immerse in cold water, is there a reason for that?
Well, out of the blue I spotted these three at a local grocery store about a month ago. On clearance! I paid $6.49 for the large one and $2.50 each for the smaller ones.
Our bell peppers were huge in harvest this year, so I put some in the large container, and I can tell you they stay fresh! I had the ones on the right in that container for over a week, and the ones on the left in the bowl only were going soft in one day.
I will be buying one more larger container for summer harvest.

Wow, I've never heard of these. Thanks for the tip! With a garden, anything that can lengthen freshness is a great help! I'll be on the look-out to buy some.
Leigh, our larger "market" grocery stores put them on clearance, and now our smaller grocery stores are clearancing any kitchen ware. Check there or other stores for "Freshworks by Rubbermaid"
