    This item is truly a salad keeper, May 23, 2009

    This review is from: Progressive International LKS-06 Lettuce Keeper (Kitchen)

    I have been on a diet, eating lots of salads, and have tried everything I could think of to keep the lettuce fresh. Even after purchasing a salad spinner, which I liked ok, I was still throwing a lot of lettuce away because it became wilted and brown. Then I purchased this salad keeper and the result has been a total turn-around in the condition and longevity of my lettuce.

    I first cut up (with a plastic lettuce knife – don’t use metal knives on lettuce), washed and spun my lettuce out in the salad spinner. I then put it in this salad keeper, opening the vents and putting 1/2 cup of water in the bottom as the directions state. The last bowl of lettuce was taken out for use about a week after it was first put in there and it was just as crisp as could be and only a few little brown spots. In fact, the first time I took the keeper out of the frig to make a salad the lettuce was actually more crisp than when I put it in there fresh.

    If you like salads and want to keep your lettuce fresh, purchase one of these. I’ll never be without it again.

    This definitely keeps lettuce longer than in the store-bought bags or plastic clamshell casing. I haven’t calculated how much longer in days, but I know I have been surprised when I dig in there to make a salad and realize the lettuce is still good! I make sure to fluff out the lettuce as much as possible when I put it in the lettuce keeper, otherwise moisture and condensation between the lettuce leaves can turn it into slimy gunk, even with the best storage solution. Yes, the top doesn’t stay on really well and could probably have been better designed, but the keeper isn’t meant to be put into the refrigerator on it’s side. Keep it upright and everything will be fine!

    Best Solution I’ve Found, January 1, 2009

    This review is from: Progressive International LKS-06 Lettuce Keeper (Kitchen)

    The reason I stopped eating salads daily was they go bad in the refrigerator too fast. So upon realizing that I need fresh salads for optimal health, I decided to explore options for preserving them. After examining various ‘vacuum seal’ options, the Lettuce Keeper jumped out as the most logical looking solution. Vegetables, just like plants in the ground, need some air circulation, and the Lettuce Keeper system has all the aspects of vegetable preservation covered. It even has a lower tray from which water evaporates into the storage chamber, which is ventilated. Evaporation and ventilation are applied differentially to various vegetables and fruits.

    My experience with the Lettuce Keeper confirms my initial impression of it. It preserves salads far longer than I’ve seen with any other storage medium I’ve used. After a week contents show no sign of spoilage or aging. I’ve not tried any ‘vacuum seal’ containers, so I can’t compare this to that, but I can say this works very well! As per the initial critical review here, the instructions say to place the lid and all on a dishwasher’s top rack. I couldn’t be happier with this device; and thanks to it, I can be healthier too!
