They get moldy because you close them while they're still wet. What I do is that if I'm not sure it's still completely dry then I don't close them, I just store container and lid separately to make sure it's dry by the time I have to use it
Oxo now makes nice borosilicate class food storage containers and the gaskets are easy to remove, clean, and replace.
👏👏
Not hard to take out gaskets and wash them each use.
Loved this thank you for the reminder to clean clean clean & pay attention.
Testing and rhymes!
IKEA glass & metal containers are top tier. Yes, removable gaskets, but I prefer that. Easy in, easy out, good sizes available, I especially love the big ones.
Another great kitchen equipment demonstration. Top Tip I learned is get containers with a gasket for air tightness. Does the Sun have any effect on gasket longevity I wonder.
I have used Lock ''n Lock for years. They seldom fail.
i love food so much please jam food down my mouth
People are lazy they would throw something out before spending time cleaning it. Unbelievable
Need removable gaskets to really clean it well. Otherwise biofilms will build up over time.
😂
Love OXO!
Wait is the blond becoming Julia? What is happening!🤔😯
I prefer the removable ones because it's easier to wash.
I buy red cover Pyrex half price ShopRite.
Happy Easter Key ingredient for Polish babka, ground cloves and of course, golden raisins.
The divided pyrex meal oxes have been working well for me
Love the "Gear Heads"!
What brand is it?
Sooooooo which ones are the best? Garbage video
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
All the top ones seem to have those flipper latches. They break far earlier than any other piece except for the glass containers. The old Rubbermaid containers pre-latches were pretty good. I have had to discard so many containers because of latch failure.
Tisket taskik 😂
Brilliant 👏
Thanks for the testing!
I wonder which travel mugs/tumblers also have good gaskets that are easy to clean. This is my biggest annoyance for coffee in particular.
But the true question is what is the name of the brand that you found to be the best and airtight I wait your reply and thank you for your amazing videos for so informative
