Hutzler Pro-Line Tomato Food Saver

Until we had this product we always kept our cut onions wrapped in plastic. That worked, sort of, until the wrap unraveled, or the aroma of the cut onion found its way through it.Now we keep the unused portion of an onion in this product, and it seems to do at least as well as the plastic wrap at keeping the onion fresh, and a better job at keeping the onion smell from mingling with the rest of the occupants of our refrigerator.So we're saving plastic wrap, reducing spoilage, and keeping our refrigerator smelling fresh. And in between onions it's a breeze to clean this.The one issue, as I believe others have commented, is that it can sometimes be a little finicky in opening and/or closing. But it's not a huge issue for us and is easily offset by its benefits for us. And of course since the top is clear we can easily see how much onion we have left.

The media could not be loaded.      I actually already have an onion holder but there was one major flaw that got me every time. I couldn't see what was in it. Now, you're probably thinking, why didn't I just open it up and look. Well, call it laziness or stupidity or whatever, but when I see it sitting in the fridge, I just assume it has an onion in it. And more often than not, it is either empty or only has a few slivers when I need a lot more for the recipe I had planned on making.This is why I love this onion saver! As you can see in my brief video, half of this one is clear. Yep! You can see right through it and I can quickly tell whether it's empty or if it has enough for what I'm making. No more guessing or assuming!This also has a cute little onion pattern on the top and bottom just for some added fun.I also love the locking mechanism. Just give it a little twist to lock and a twist the opposite way to unlock. It will keep the onion smell from spreading over everything else in the fridge and keep the onion fresh until you're ready to use it.I also love that I have a designated container for onions. No more smelling up numerous plastic containers that harbor that odor for months!It's hard to believe that something like this could bring me such happiness but it really does!

good product

Does one need an veg-shaped container? Apparently yes. Trying to reduce the # of plastic bags used to store bits of vegs in the fridge, purchased this thinking it's surely the plastic equivalent of what, a couple boxes of fold-over sandwich bags? Should should pay for itself ($-wise and waste-wise) relatively quickly. It's certainly prettier to look at than crumpled bags, and most importantly, it locks in the onion smell (unlike a silicone stretchy lid I tried--that was a stinker!). Also got the lime/lemon ones and can confirm they keep cut citrus fresh for several days. All easily twist open/closed and are easy to wash.

Most of these vege/fruit storage containers all operate on the same principle. In most cases its all a matter of how much we like them looks wise, do they take up too much space, are are they easy to open. Do they keep out air and especially if you keep bananas near them. bananas let off a gas that causes other foods to ripen too quickly. So all you really need is anything that keeps out air and that is not HUGE (and keeps a lot of air trapped within. Such as if you just use a baggie dont forget to squeeze as much air out as possible before sealing it.In regard to this case its easy to open and simply has a few tabs that keep it closed (in my pictures) once you twist it. And it also has a good seal and keeps out air. And because its flat on both ends it can stand up no matter what direction you put it down. So far its worked just as good as any baggie. And I prefer this over a baggie because my wife keeps forgetting to squeeze the air out of baggies.

Things I like:1. Fits most onions (even some large ones) due to its contoured shape unlike some other containers by other manufacturers.2. Emits very low to no onion odor in refrigerator.3. Can see the state of the onion through the clear top (handy if you have red onion in one and yellow onion in another like I do).Things I don't like:1. If the sealing tabs on the top clear cover don't precisely match the indentations on the bottom purplish red cover, can require a lot of hand/wrist strength to seal it properly.Overall a good product I use very often.

This truly is a great lemon/food saver. There are a few reasons why I really like it:1-the clear bottom makes it easy to see and remember what you have left.2-it is very durable/high quality.3-it looks great!4-it really does keep lemon slices fresher than a plastic bag, and it's more Eco-friendly.5-saves you money in the long run.6-the lid is very easy to screw on, it isn't like other screw on caps where your have to keep trying to get it to "catch" it instantly screws on with easy - I am actually impressed with this part the most.The only thing that I am not a fan of (which is no big deal) is that the yellow lid keeps "flipping over" and ends up filled with water in the dishwasher - but that isn't the fault of the product.I bought two of these in order to have on hand while the other one is washing (I use a lot of lemons) or for when I also have limes. They have a green one (same container) for limes, but it seems to be listed $10 more so I won't spend that much on it!

I bought this for longer, fresher storage. It does work and it’s really cute, but it needs to be somewhat bigger and it can be difficult to open. I bought the onion one, also, and I feel the same about both. Not sure if I would purchase again.

I am actually replacing the older version of this tomato saver. I was very happy with it and decided to purchase another. I am able to keep my cut tomato for many days and it is still fresh and ready to use.

Large enough for a beefsteak tomato! Good quality and definitely stands out in the fridge!! 5 stars!!!

I like I can see what type of onion in container

Great quality! They sent me a bonus garlic saver with it!

It works great and very cute
