The EGG (Ethylene Gas Guardian) Refill Packages - One Year Review

The EGG (Ethylene Gas Guardian) Refill Packages - One Year
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used the E.G.G. for a couple of years and find the product really does work as it claims. My complaint is the shipping. I was charged 10.90 for shipping and handling (almost the same price as the product itself) and then had to pay .78 C.O.D. which meant an added trip to the post office. I would not reorder through this vendor again.

Back to Basics 176 Canning Funnel Review

Back to Basics 176 Canning Funnel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I don't know why I lived without it! It sits beautifully in the mouth of the jar and the wide hole lets the food fall right into the jar like it wasn't there. Ladles seem to know just when to drip so it hits the side of the jar. You can almost hear them laughing at you. This funnel ends that! No more food running down the side of the canning jar. No more messy, sticky rims that need to be carefully cleaned before placing the lid. And it cleans very easily. I highly recommend it.

Victorio VKP1012 Hand Operated Grain Mill Review

Victorio VKP1012 Hand Operated Grain Mill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this product so that I could grind small amounts of flour from less common whole grains for breadmaking and emergency preparedness purposes.
The grinder is very simple to put together and fairly easy to use. Be aware that you may have to tighten the clamp occasionally as you use the grinder, but it is not difficult to do. I wouldn't attempt to grind large amounts of flour at a time unless you want your arms to hurt, but it is perfect for grinding a few cups at a time for a recipe- and kids love to help out!
Also, while the coarseness of the flour can be varied, but it will not produce a superfine (cake) flour.

No emergency food storage stash is complete without the Victorio hand operated grain mill. Precision stainless steel milling cone is durable and provides the ability to grind fine bread quality flour when you need it. Milling cone is adjustable lets you grind coarse or fine and everything in between. Some people tell us it looks just like another grain mill on the market. Maybe it does, but put them both side-by-side and you will find that the Victorio grain mill grinds much finer. So don't be fooled into thinking they are all the same, this is the one you really want. Designed to be all-purpose so it can grind wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley and more. Can even be used to grind coffee beans, peppercorns, non-oily seeds as well as spices. Makes about one half cup of fine flour per minute and more than twice that amount on the coarse setting. Small compact design makes it easy to store.

Ball Mouth Lids Review

It was disappointing to learn that all Ball/Kerr lids are lined with the toxin BPA. I hope they're working on a lid that is free of BPA, but in the mean time, if you're searching for lids without BPA, I suggest Tattler lids. They are reusable and guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Progressive International Berry Keeper Review

Progressive International Berry Keeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I eat a lot of fresh, organic berries. Let's face it, if you're shelling out the bucks, you want those things to last longer than a day or two. Plus, I am a little pathological about mushy berries (yuck), so this seemed like a no-brainer.
If you mainly eat berries that come in small portions- blueberries, raspberries, etc: this will fit your needs nicely. There's a small lift-out insert if you want to keep things separated- nice touch. If you're looking to store strawberries, I doubt this would hold the contents of a standard green plastic "strawberry basket"- especially if you have some enormous berries in there. If you want strawberry storage, you'd be much happier with the larger Progressive Produce Keepers, which are roomier and probably multi-task a lot more than this does (at a similar price). Still it's cute, and it works! FYI- Whole berries last a lot longer in here than sliced- I have had strawberries in here for a week that still look perfect, but if they're sliced, you only have a day or so.

Progressive International LKS-06 Lettuce Keeper Review

Progressive International LKS-06 Lettuce Keeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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!

In Progressive International's lettuce keeper, fruit, lettuce, and vegetables stay fresher longer for up to approximately two weeks. The special design lets you wash and store all in one since the container doubles as a colander. A water reservoir in the base keeps produce moist, and adjustable venting regulates air circulation and moisture. The container's oblong shape works for all lettuce types. An extra divider is included for storing different types of produce and is conveniently stored underneath the lid when not in use. A printed produce storage guide is also included for easy reference. Cleanup is easy since the lettuce keeper is dishwasher safe.
