Spring Asparagus and Citrus Salad Plus Good Cook Giveaway

June 12, 2013 By Milena Barrett

GoodCooks Produce Keepers

“I was provided with product samples as a Good Cook Blogger to facilitate my review. All thoughts are my own.”

Recently, I received a set of Produce Keepers from Good Cook and I’ve been giving them a try to see if they really do keep food fresh longer. These Vegetable Keepers are apart of the Good Cook ProFreshionals brand.Honestly. I would have never purchased these items as I have always viewed them as more of a novelty, but I have found that thought to be incorrect. I’m impressed with how well these Keepers preserve produce. I noticed a big difference using the Tomato Keeper. I had a sliced tomato wrapped in plastic and one in the keeper and it was just as fresh as when I sliced it in there, unlike the other tomato. I also stored my asparagus in an Asparagus Keeper for a week in the fridge. I usually leave mine on the counter in a bowl of water. Once again the keeper kept the produce fresh. The two stems that where touching the sides of the Keeper were a little soft, but now I know to make sure the tops don’t touch the sides. Success was also found with the other keepers. My final thoughts: These are not just cute veggie shaped novelties. They actually work to keep the food fresh and keep your refrigerator clean and tidy! I say yes to the Produce Keepers!
