Kitchen

[luvmybeetle]

I have used Lock n Lock for years.  I have all different colors and sizes and I love it.  I use them in drawers to organize and bathroom for makeup and other things.  For my kitchen I use the tall and medium size long type to store hamburgs, fish, and all small items in my freezer.  It's good for organization in there.  I use the sizes of round to store lettuce in the fridge.  I have my medication in one and all I have to do is pick it up and fill my Lug - pill box for the week.  I mix up Bisquick in a big one for pancakes.  AND I give them as gifts to my kids.  They are very reliable with some exceptions if a flap on a lid breaks, but that has only happened once to me.  The only negative is they stain when you use an acid type sauce.  But, what I do is, after you use the sauce stick the bowl in cold water and then put it in the dishwasher and usually it gets pretty clean.  OH, and I use them to store leftovers in the fridge.

I still use the original set of Lock & Lock bowls for different things. I mostly use Anchor Hocking glass containers now with silicone lids. The great thing about L&L is that it’s leak proof and water tight. Great for putting things in coolers. Gave some to my son and wife for camping……they requested more!! I do love the glass L&L 9x13 pan with the plastic lid. Great to transport.

All great uses!!!!

I forgot...Q tips in the bathroom...Sugar for the H-birds, crystal citric acid, tiny screws that have no other home...and Hersheys cocoa!!!

They are great for powdery stuff you don't want to turn into bricks!!!

I hate trying to store the L&L and have often needed a spoon to pry the flap away from the lock to get the darned thing open. The glass containers seem to do much better for me. I bought the plastic ones because of the fridge in the other motorhome but no longer need to worry with that as much in this one.

@Othereeeen You forgot one thing Lock n Lock does -- the Happy Dance.  They were the originators of the Happy Dance and David just capitalized on it.  Now, it does everything. 

ETA  Tahnks for that post -- made my day.

For over night in the fridge ( for me, single who cooks in batches) a sour cream container, a large yogurt container, a container ham came in (Hillshire Farms) works just fine...

I gave up on storing stuff in the freezer cause I like fresh meat, and no mystery meat!!  ( stuffed back in the freezer so far you don't find it for five years!!!!)  EVen Lock and Lock cant help with that!!!

I confess I fell for a gimmick!  But most stuff today IS gimmicks, so alas, we find out too late.

That's why our Mom's could make a whole Thanksgiving meal, from scratch, with a paring knife, a potato peeler, a carving knife and a box grater!!! And a few Pyrex pie plates and one measuring cup!!!

And a dinged up lovingly used aluminum roasting pan with the jiggly handles...and like my Mom had...ONE Farberware frying pan with a bakelite knobbed lid that she used for fifty years!!!!

Hands down, best comment I've ever read in any category in this qvc land forum. 

It's also accurate 😅😂🤣

For me, the best part is with any lid, in any color, in any shape, in any size....when doing dishes (no dishwasher) I invariably get sprayed splashed soaked from water hitting the tabs no matter the angle. I need a wetsuit when doing LocknLock dishes 😤
