I am so happy to write this review! And super excited about the product. Through my US Family Guide association, I was chosen to test out this Ozeri InstaVac Food Storage Set. It comes with 4 containers that each have a lid.
The idea behind these storage containers is that you can release air through a vacuum seal and therefore prolong the life of fresh foods being stored. It prevents bacteria from forming with.
I love how easy to use they were. With just pressure from my fingers, the air was released and it became vacuumed sealed. You can't even open the lid from the sides until you release the valve on top. And you can hear the air coming out or going in to know its done. The other great part is the dial on the top that you set to the day you put the food in. I can't tell you how often I've stored something and forgot how long its been in the fridge... This way, I know! Without stickers on the container or writing. On the bottoms, there is a wave pattern. This keeps things like fruits and vegetables from sitting in their natural juices and getting soggy.
I also like that they are supposed to be stain-resistant, shatter-proof while also being just as transparent as glass. With kids, glass doesn't last long. It is considered dangerous in our home. So having well-made plastic things is awesome.
I think this would be a great gift too. I mean, its not just food storage. Its also food organization. You can microwave, freeze and throw them in the dishwasher. My video below will show you how to use them. What do you like about something like this?
Dang. Those are cool. These would be great in a high humidity area to keep fruit fresh.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking them so far!
DeleteWow these are great, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteIt's amazing all the options we have for food storage these days.This is a great concept. To vacuum seal food in your own home is too cool.
ReplyDeleteRight?! I like how simple it is. Yet, effective.
DeleteNow this is an container I would use over and over. Love the date feature so I know when it actually was sealed and stored.
ReplyDeleteOne kind of plastic storage I could put to good use!
DeleteSuper cool. I love Ozeri products. I might need to look into getting one of these.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time using them and I'm falling in love!
DeleteSo, where do you buy them?
ReplyDeleteAmazon has them. If you click the blue worded link, it will take you to them.
DeleteThis sounds like it would save a lot of money for groceries!
ReplyDeleteMost definitely! Especially on fresh fruits and veggies.
DeleteI think I like the idea of this better than the one you do with storage bags! I feel like it would be easier and more sanitary.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you there! These don't slip and slide around as you are trying to seal them up.
DeleteI have always wanted to try one of these!
ReplyDeleteI hope you try them soon!
DeleteI need to get myself one of these! I always have leftovers.

I highly recommend them!
DeleteI keep forgetting food in my fridge sometimes. I did not understand the dial part_ does it show the date when you put it in fridge?
ReplyDeleteSo do I! Yes, there is a dial on top that has numbers like a clock. You put it on the day of the month that you are putting it into the fridge and that way you can keep track of how long it has been in there.
DeleteI like the fact they can go straight from the freezer to the microwave. Very handy to have around the kitchen
ReplyDeleteThat is a favorite feature of mine as well. I like to freeze some leftovers sometimes for lunches later on.
Deleteawesome container, i like it, thank you for the review :))
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I'm glad you like it!
DeletePerfect timing! I really want to start meal prepping and bringing food from home to work instead of constantly buying outside food and wasting so much money. I'm always worried about how the plastic affects the food when it's microwaved. Do you know if this is BPA free?
ReplyDeleteI've been in your shoes when I worked. I can say from experience that this is the better way to go. Yes, it is BPA free! Another thing to love about their products.
DeleteThis is cool. Having a reliable sealed too container is a must at home. My Mom will love this brand. We already ditched the old tupperwares :)
ReplyDeleteAs technology changes, we find better things to get!
DeleteWow these sound amazing. I have a similar container that works really well keeping produce fresh, but I love how these can track the dates. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked the review!
DeleteI am in need of a new storage system. Perfectly times post:)
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have shared right when you needed it!
DeleteI have never had the chance to use a storage system like this, but I imagine that it is a great way to keep your fresh food from going bad and that alone would be good reason to try it.
ReplyDeleteI recommend you try it if you get the chance. They are working really well for my family in keeping things fresh.
DeleteMy mom would love to have those containers. Safe to use over and over.
ReplyDeleteThey are great!
