OXO Storage Containers

Katcat1 — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 05:28:44 GMT

I am replacing my round lock & lock for OXO rectangular storage containers. I purchased the glass containers. They are easier to store when you don't have a lot of cabinet space (I am in an apt.). I actually went back and purchased a few extra pieces. I purchased directly from OXO web site because their shipping is only free $19 and over which is easy to do. I was not aware of OXO and one lady on this forum mentioned it and I am forever grateful to her. Anyone own the OXO?

Through the years, I've bought OXO kitchen gadgets and they've been very reliable. I love the purchases I've made from there.

OXO products are frequently recommended on the PBS America's Test Kitchen programs. I have purchased several and they have been reliable.

OXO products are very well made, functional and there are many different items to choose from. America's Test Kitchen frequently recommends OXO. I have several products from them and highly recommend them as well.😊

I've always liked any OXO products I've bought. Not sure I have any of their storage items though.

I do have a few pieces of LnL, but generally I don't have reason to buy sets - that's why BBB or even Dollar Tree work well for my small needs. Of course, it helps that I'm not matchy-matchy abut what's hidden behind the doors in my house.

I've had a set for years and they are wonderful. The canisters have a big button - one push down to seal lid - another push and button pops up. Use for potato chips - crackers - have a set and they 'live' on top shelf of bottom cabinets lazy susan. I spin the susan around as needed. Love OXO products - garlic press too.

It's nice to know there's a superior alternative to Lock 'n Lock with which I've had terrible luck. I've had the clips fall off the first time I used it. I've got a long rectangular piece that I can't unfasten on one edge. Thankfully, I never bought much. I think it's junk.

I have come to look for OXO products and glad to read they are rated well by others. Sometimes can get good prices at Macys with sale/coupon 😉. I like the way those square ones fit on shelf with staples.

I have had several of these for years as well. I use them for whole bean coffee and store in the refrigerator.

I also have the OXO large container for flour and sugar. I found these at Home Goods.

I only use glass for storage and oxo is a great product with a wide selection.

@Kachina624 I have had clips break off with Lock & Lock. With OXO glass rectangular storage, you need to line the top up precisely with the glass for it to work and then it works perfectly.

@mspatmac It is good to hear. I only have for a short while but it sure is easy to store in my kitchen cabinets (I have more space compare to the round). I also prefer the glass.

As my Lock & Lock needs replacing....wonky lids, staining...I no longer buy that brand to replace it. I purchased 10-12 glass Pyrex bowls with "regular" plastic lids in three different sizes. They come in cute patterns and look like new, no matter how often they are used. They also stack nicely, and smaller bowls can nest in larger ones.

The Pyrex/Corning website has a good variety, and sometimes a percentage discount code or just a sale.

I am another who prefers glass storage, when possible.

I've had my OXO pantry storage pieces for 10+ years and perfect! I bought the large pack of them years ago at Bed Bath & Beyond.

Never a problem? I love all their products! Recently, I replaced my "old" Lock N Lock pantry pieces with OXO

I too own several of the OXO storage containers where all you do to seal is push the button. Mine are plastic though. I didn't know they made glass ones. I too would prefer glass over the plastic.

I use the taller larger one for dry cat food, the smaller ones for ground coffee or nuts.

I haven't had any complaints about anything OXO. I think I also have some kitchen gadgets such as a jar opener, silicone spatulas...and they all do what they're supposed to do with no problems. I love my jar opener.
