 GREAT for leftovers! |

When I first got these I had difficulty making them work. But then I found that there are some tricks that need to be told for proper use. These are really excellent canisters.
1] When you put food in them you need to make sure all four corners have 'snapped' tight. After placing cover on the bowl and pressing down, press again the individual 4 corners. Usually you will find 1 will 'snap' tightly.
2] Then you take the adapter. Insert the canister fitting into the adapter 'nozzle' and place adapter over vacuum port on canister lid.
3] Press the 'Fast' button if your unit has one, then press canister. You should be able to hear instant vacuuming.
4] When the machine stops, HOLD DOWN THE ADAPTER WITH ONE HAND AND REMOVE THE VACUUM HOSE WITH THE OTHER. tHIS IS CRUCIAL.
5] After the tube has been removed, you can now remove the adapter. Pull up a corner to ensure the seal is perfect (it will be) and VOILA!
All the above sounds much more complicated than it really is. Once you get the hang of it you'll love it and it won't take but a second.
When washing you can out the bowl on the top shelf of the dishwasher NO HEAT. Hand wash the lids. I have been using mine as I instructed above for over a year now and I love these things. I save left over hamburger helper, lasagna, and more and the food always is as fresh as when I sealed it as long as 2 weeks later.
For Easter Ham, we always have LOTS left over. I cut the ham up off the bone and fill 3 of these containers and then freeze them. The seal has lasted almost a month when we had the last one. I was truly amazed. There is a great price here now for close out containers. Save money and stop wasting food and buy some today. Follow my instructions and you will be happy I assure you.
I have not tried to use any of my containers to maranade anything, but I am looking forward to doing so 1 day. |
Works great for me!

| I love these little containers. I've used 8 of them for close to a year. Have only had one issue with one of them. Be sure not to put anything too hot in them when you go to seal it. The sides become soft and will suck in permanently so the lid no longer seals well. If you have a problem getting the food saver to register or create a seal, check that all four sides of the lid are snapped down securely (you would be suprised that it's not when you think it is) and the gray rubber stopper is straight. These are much, much better than the hard canisters. |
These Work For Me

I recently purchased the Freshsaver, which came with 2 deli containers, as well as some foodsaver bags. I called Foodsaver to ask if the Freshsaver was compatible with any of their other containers. The woman I spoke with told me they work with these, the lunch and leftover, or the sandwich and snack ones.
At the time I wanted to place my order Amazon was showing the sandwich and snack ones as shipping in 3-5 weeks, so I purchased 2 sets of these, the lunch and leftover ones.
They work fine for me as far as keeping the air in. I wash both the bottom and the lid by hand, to ensure that neither warps. I also would never put them in the microwave. I use them for leftovers, and for that they work perfectly, no problem. |
Love these

| These work well for making sure your lunch items don't leak. I didn't have any of the problems with seals not taking or warping, but make sure you don't fill them while the food is super hot. |
Well worth the money

I'm relatively new to the Food Saver line of vacuum sealed containers. All the containers I've purchased so far (including this one) have maintained their seal well for quite a long time. The longest time has been over a week where the contents are still fresh enough serve.
I'd strongly recommend it. |
