My favorite storage container

I have tried so many different types of speciality containers to keep my veggies fresh.  Most of these containers either turn out to be too small to handle a CSA share or made of such cheap plastic that they are no match for the dishwasher.  One thing I've never been good with is containers that are not dishwasher safe.

So my favorite container by far is the 9.7 cup Hefty clip container.  this container is big but fits easily in the fridge or freezer.  It's the perfect size for tons of carrots or lettuce.  Add a slightly damp paper towel and the fresh CSA carrots or lettuce will last for months.  Just try to remember to use the older carrots first.

I also use this container to hold my roasted tomatoes in the freezer.  I add a layers of cooled off roasted tomatoes as they become available.  When I have enough I make big pot of tomato sauce.

If these containers are actually empty around the holidays and not filled with my winter share,  they're great for big batches of cookies.

Next time my "plastic" is low I be trying these containers in other sizes.  Available on Amazon for around $10.  I picked my up at the Corning Store at an outlet mall.
