Prep Solutions by Progressive Lettuce Keeper Produce Storage Container, 4.7 Quarts, Green (LKS-06)

Okay, so I was really, really skeptical about this keeping my bread fresh. I figured with all that air around the bread how could it possibly be? I have, for over a year, been baking my own bread and wrapping the loaf with a paper towel, putting wrapped loaf in a plastic gallon size zipper bag and crushing it in for it to fit. Not only was my beautiful bread misshapen, but the bags kept breaking and wow, much money gone in bags and paper towel... So here I see this little inexpensive box and after reading the reviews for over six months I finally reach my end with the bags, surrender and order the little box o' magic.I find it keeps the air out and the bread fresh. My last loaf was in there for 2 1/2 days and the last slice was almost as good as the first. There's nothing like that first slice :). I will say, I did set aside the "cutting board" that was enclosed. First, I didn't want to destroy the blade on my terrific bread knife, and second, when I did leave my first loaf on the cutting board, since the cutting board is small and only sat under half the loaf, the other half slumped over from being suspended in the air. Not a nice look.I found the best way to keep the bread is to lay a folded paper towel under the bread and simply sit it on the floor of the plastic box. It really does the job and now I can see exactly how much bread I have because it's no longer hidden while wrapped in the paper towel.To let you know how large a loaf it really can fit, I bake all my loaves in an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch cast iron loaf pan and it usually rised to between 5 and 6 inches in height when done. The bread fits perfectly with a little wiggle room in all directions.I'm still giving it five stars instead of four because it really does the job well, but my only complaint would be that it's a bit of an annoyance to get the box open and closed (you need two hands) rather than one to just lift a lid. I will now be looking for a new box with either a lid or a front "door" so that it's a one-handed job and I can use this box to hold my second loaf which I now realize I still have no place for. It's a win-win as I see it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have used other lettuce keepers, but they really don’t keep the lettuce crisp, the lettuce eventually turns color and gets wilted.I purchased this lettuce keepers and was surprised to see that this product really keeps the lettuce crisps and fresh. I was able to use the entire head if lettuce. Each lettuce was crispy.

I've been making my own bread for the past two months with my Blendtec Blender and my own baking pans, no bread making machine. I needed something to store breads easily that wouldn't cause breads to mold quickly since there are no preservatives in my mixture. This is a great little product. I love that it is adjustable so as your bread dwindles down, you can shorten the size of the box. And you can adjust the humidity. Love that. The only setback, however, is it opens from the center, which causes a mess when cutting, so you have to really clean up, remove any crumbs from counter and cutting board, and inside box, because of course, I don't want any other issues like ants on my counter. I saw that other reviewers said the same thing about the center opening, but the price was so incredible, I wanted to try it for myself.As I bake my breads, once they cool, I put them in the new Reynolds Wrap product that is part foil, part parchment paper, foil side on the outside, then I wrap that in plastic wrap so I'm able to freeze them well. When new bread is needed, once a loaf thaws on the counter, I take it and place it in the bread keeper. As we need bread slices, I take off one end of the keeper, pull the cutting board out, pull the bread from its wrapping and place just enough of the bread on the cutting board so that we are not cutting on the paper it's wrapped in, wipe off the board, re-wrap the bread and place it back in the keeper. This is working for us. We've not had a problem with moldy bread. We just wish this opened from one side and not the center (which is why I gave it only 4 stars), and we wish that the cutting board was adjustable like the Bread Keeper, so that we could pull the whole thing out from one side, and push it back in. The process would be much faster. Other than that, the Bread Keeper is a keeper! LOLI suppose we could cut it all at one time, but I remember my grandmother not cutting all of her homemade bread at one time. Not sure why she did it that way, but it works for us.

I over planted lettuce and this gadget has helped keep picked lettuce at least a week or so!! It's made to store other fruits n veggies but haven't been able to try that yet. The open close system great and a great guide!

I was so tired of buying lettuce and it turning to mush before I used it or other vegetables so I searched a lettuce keeper. My first time using it, I put the lettuce in and had it for at least a week and then went on vacation. Normally I throw all of my produce out before I go on vacation because it will not be good when I get back. I got back after one week so the lettuce was 2 1/2 weeks old And opened it up and it was amazing. It was crisp. It was fresh we made salads. it was absolutely great. I’m ordering another one.

Way bigger than Inexpected, but it kept some blueberries fresh and crisp for 2 weeks
