The new Produce Saver from Rubbermaid helps keep produce fresher, longer. We all have had the frustration of purchasing produce and amazingly within just short while it has gone bad. The Produce Saver aims to help extend the life of produce by utilizing a tray and vent system. The Produce Saver lid features a vent that allows oxygen to circulate around the produce. Rubbermaid Produce Savers also feature a tray that is placed inside the food storage container and helps to keep the produce elevated approximately 1/2 inch out of the moisture. With the vent and the tray the Rubbermaid Produce Saver really does keep your produce fresher, longer. The Produce Saver lids snap together as well as snap to the bases for easy storage. The Produce Saver lids and bases also nest together making storage in a cabinet or a drawer much more efficient. The 2.0 cup Produce Saver is perfect for raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. The 5.0 cup Produce Saver is perfect for strawberries or baby corn. The 14.0 cup Produce Saver is perfect for a head of lettuce, broccoli or a bunch of grapes. Rubbermaid Produce Savers are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.

Amazon.com Product Description
Rubbermaid's Produce Saver collection of food-storage containers helps extend the life of produce thanks to its tray and vent system. The vent in the lid allows oxygen to circulate around the produce, while the included tray helps keep the produce elevated about a 1/2 inch away from moisture. The collection also makes container and lid organization a breeze. Designed with space efficiency in mind, the lids and bases nest together so that they take up less room when stored in a cabinet or drawer, plus the lids snap to the bottom of the bases and to each other, which means no more searching around for the right-size lid. Even more, one lid can accommodate several different-size bases. The square shape of the containers allow for easy stacking, while super-clear bases provide better visibility of inside contents. The covered containers can be used in the refrigerator, freezer, or microwave, and clean up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher. This four-pack set includes two 2-cup containers, one 5-cup container, and one 14-cup container.

Customer Reviews

I'm a believer!
I originally purchased these on a very cynical whim. My mom had tried the "bags" which failed miserably so when I ran across this set I really had very low hopes. Well, here are my results:

So far I've had the same blueberries in one of these containers for THREE WEEKS. I purchased and washed them on July 19th, the day before a dinner party, put them in a Produce Saver bowl and put them in the refrigerator. Some were eaten at the party, many weren't. Today is August 10th and I guess I'm going to have to break down and make muffins with them or something because they're as fresh and plump today as they were 3 weeks ago.
Grapes stay so fresh in the large container (I buy 2 big bags at a time now) that after a week even their stems are still green. The grapes themselves are crisp and cold.
My strawberries lasted for a week the last time before they were finally all eaten. Not sure how long they would hold up as they are pretty popular. I just wash them, drain them, de-stem them and pull out all of the already questionable berries, put them in a medium container (holds about 2 lbs of berries without stems), stuff them in the fridge and walk away. We are just able to reach in and snack on fresh berries whenever we want.
And a big one -- tomatoes. Already sliced or diced tomatoes are nas-tay after they've been refrigerated overnight. I have stored diced tomatoes in the small bowl for a week and a half and they were just as tasty as the day I diced them. Not at all soggy and grainy.
Currently I have one of these sets and an extra medium bowl. It's on my shopping list to get another set ;-) They've already saved me a fortune in fresh produce and I've only had them for about a month! My next experiment will be with bananas.... If my large bowl is ever empty long enough.

Rubbermaid Produce Saver
I have had the Produce Saver for about 6 weeks and I find that it does a significant job in keeping Produce fresher as opposed to using the original packaging that the produce came in.

I highly recommend the product for anyone who uses produce on a daily basis and thus buys bulk size items (lettuce, grapes, tomatoes, etc.).

Great if you have a kid
If you are like us you have grapes and blueberries in the fridge at all times. Before we were placing them in bowls with paper towels to suck up the moisture.

These containers are fantastic.

Also they are made of Polypropylene so they are BPA free.
