Amazon.com Product Description
For use with any FoodSaver machine that has an accessory port, this rectangular-shaped 2-quart-capacity canister works great for storing leftovers, dry goods like beans or coffee, or baking supplies like flour or sugar. With the air vacuumed out, it keeps food fresh up to five times longer than average containers. In addition, the canister's durable, clear base makes it easy to view contents at a glance, while its lid stays on securely thanks to convenient latches. A bonus cheese grater comes included. The grater fits on top of the canister for conveniently shredding cheese and storing it all in one container. The canister can also be used for marinating meat, fish, tofu, or vegetables in minutes. With its sleek low-profile shape that fits nicely in the refrigerator or cupboard, the canister measures approximately 8-3/4 by 6-3/4 by 6-3/4 inches.

Customer Reviews

Good Product
I like the depth of this container. I use it more for storage than as a marinator because of its depth. This is excellent for keeping berries fresh. I have no use for the grater; I prefer the food processor and standing graters. The canister is a clear plastic, which looks much better than the smoke-colored ones.

As a marinator, it produced very flavorful chicken, but I'm not sure if it was more flavorful than traditionally marinated.

I am giving this four stars instead of five because the canister is top-rack dishwasher safe, but the lids are not.

Avoid this canister

I bought one of these canisters directly from Foodsaver. Within 6 weeks I noticed it would not hold a vacuum over night. I also noticed hairline cracks in the corner. I called the Foodsaver company and they were happy to send me another one. Now, the replacement one has the exact same problem. This time when I called they stated that there is no guarantee on canisters at all. I never dropped or abused this item. If I wanted to replace it I would have to pay full price and shipping. (I have no problem with the round canisters.)

Great size
Great foodsaver canister. The locking lid is a great feature which also creates "handles" that make it easer to lift and transport (unlike the round canister). And if you didn't know...all of the rectangular foodsaver containers use the same size lid (unlike the round canisters)....and if you have the 1 qt or 1.5 qt rectangular canisters...the grater fits in them, too.

The only reason I don't give it 5 stars...is that I think the lids should have been flat so that you could stack multiple containers on top of each other. Without the lids on (like when storing them in your cupboard), the containers are stackable...just would have been nice if they could be stacked with the lids on too.
