I purchased the Lock N Lock TSV and it arrived 2 days ago. I'm replacing all my old plastic storage containers that are cracking and peeling.

They stack for storage in 1/2 the space of all of my Rubbermaid and Tupperware. 

I make a lot of double/triple recipes when I prepare spaghetti sauce, chili, meatloaf, and soups. Having many sizes of storage containers that go freezer to microwave is a must for me.

I plan on replacing all my 'other'  containers also with the tsv. But unfortunately I'm replacing some lock and lock too- they've stained from tomato sauce. When I store acidic items from now on,  I'll use a zip lock type bag as a liner.

I love Lock N Lock. I only store  tomato-based products but I do not reheat red tomaro sauce in them. Mine bubbled and stained when I did that. Otherwise I really believe their sealing system makes my veggies last longer.love, love. Enjoy

I'm waiting on mine.  I'm in southeast/south-central Georgia.  With Irma coming, our deliveries will be delayed.  We are expecting 40-60 mph winds and 75 mph gusts.  We do get those kinds of winds during our thunderstorms, but these will be sustained winds, so that will be different. We are expecting 5-8 inches of rain, and I live on a dirt road.  I've parked my car and don't plan on going anywhere until Tuesday at the earliest.  Looks like I have another long weekend to clean house and tidy and purge.

I too will be replacing my old.  They will work to play with, in the potting shed, and in the utility room for odds and ends.  That way I feel better about tossing them, even if they are peeling/bubbling.  If I can use them in some way, I will, if not, I'll toss.  I imagine there will be plenty of trash to be collected then.

@LizzieInSRQI find items stay fresh longer in L&L better than sny other brand .

I just recieved my crystal blue ones this a.m. original EDD was Monday . (the postman actually knocked ! --I thanked him ) I find I really like the little sparkles in the lid. 

@Tigrisssounds as though you have a plan for L&L and the weather . Best of luck to you.

Mine are not due for delivery until Tuesday.  Looking forward to having more of the rectangular shape.

Hi Shanus. I love L&L...too much probably ( how is that a bad thing...right). I thought I'd pass a little tip about freezing in it. I freeze items as well, but once they're frozen, I pop them out of the L&L and put them in a Food Saver sealed bag. When I'm ready to heat it up, I pop it back into the container. That way, you don't tie up all of your L&L in the freezer. Have a great day.😊

@grandma petes That is a fantastic idea!

I stored pasta sauce in a lock and lock in the freezer- then in the frig so it could defrost. And heated it up on the stove--  the container is stained! . I'm  trying to clean it with chlorox clean up, but so far no luck.

@Ibby114 I would store things like that in ziploc bags double bagged. Squeeze the air out, then seal, lay flat on a baking sheet to freeze, then store. We freeze most of our liquid things that way and most of our veggies we put up during the summer. It takes up less space than containers and doesn't stain.
