It was suggested that I buy these larger Fresh Longer containers for keeping summer cucumbers fresh "longer." 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.
