Re: Lock & Lock - Too Airtight??

Thanks for all the info and suggestions. 

 

Sometimes I have kept in crackers in wrappers, then in the L&L; sometimes not.

Potato chips directly into the container.  (Maybe the potato chip oils are softening them) 

 

No AC - Pacific southwest coastal sometimes humid, sometimes very dry and often in between. 

 

Maybe time to conduct science experiment!

@eddyandme With the exception of saltines, yes I take everything out of the original packaging.



I do the same.  Saltines stay crispy and fresh for  a long time.

When I put bread or rolls in my L&L, I put it in mybig one with a handle and only snap 2 of the locks.

 

Call me crazy, but seems to work better for me.  Rolls stay soft and don't mold for several days.

I have a whole ritual when I get home from shopping. I empty every package of crackers or cookies (wrappers off) and pour each in their perspective L&L container. My L&L containers keep everything very, very fresh!

Hi, check your seal on the container...when it's empty, put some water in it, about a half a cup or more.. Lock the lid on, then shake it upside down.. If any water comes out then that's your problem.
