 GREAT for leftovers!Oct 17, 2009
By M. Connelly
When I first got these I had difficulty making them work. But then I found that there are some tricks that need to be told for proper use. These are really excellent canisters.
1] When you put food in them you need to make sure all four corners have 'snapped' tight. After placing cover on the bowl and pressing down, press again the individual 4 corners. Usually you will find 1 will 'snap' tightly.
2] Then you take the adapter. Insert the canister fitting into the adapter 'nozzle' and place adapter over vacuum port on canister lid.
3] Press the 'Fast' button if your unit has one, then press canister. You should be able to hear instant vacuuming.
4] When the machine stops, HOLD DOWN THE ADAPTER WITH ONE HAND AND REMOVE THE VACUUM HOSE WITH THE OTHER. tHIS IS CRUCIAL.
5] After the tube has been removed, you can now remove the adapter. Pull up a corner to ensure the seal is perfect (it will be) and VOILA!
All the above sounds much more complicated than it really is. Once you get the hang of it you'll love it and it won't take but a second.
When washing you can out the bowl on the top shelf of the dishwasher NO HEAT. Hand wash the lids. I have been using mine as I instructed above for over a year now and I love these things. I save left over hamburger helper, lasagna, and more and the food always is as fresh as when I sealed it as long as 2 weeks later.
For Easter Ham, we always have LOTS left over. I cut the ham up off the bone and fill 3 of these containers and then freeze them. The seal has lasted almost a month when we had the last one. I was truly amazed. There is a great price here now for close out containers. Save money and stop wasting food and buy some today. Follow my instructions and you will be happy I assure you.
I have not tried to use any of my containers to maranade anything, but I am looking forward to doing so 1 day.

Decent short-term container.Apr 30, 2008
By Allen R. Beecham
I am currently on my 3rd Foodsaver in about 15 years or so. I am using my current one much more than previous versions due to wifely issues, which are not germane to this review.
I have been very happy with the canisters, but with increased use, several of them cracked, as observed in other reviews. So....I decided to try these newer containers.
The 24-Ounce Lunch and Leftover containers have a little rubber flap on top that serves as a valve. If food or debris gets under the flap, it will not seal well. Also, you have to be very careful to remove any debris from around the edges of the lid.
So far, none of these containers have cracked, but some of them won't hold a seal for very long. I don't know if it's a design flaw, or if they have warped a bit from the dishwasher.
Bottom line....these are okay for short-term use, but I wouldn't seal anything for very long. See my review for the 25-ounce Sandwich and Snack Containers.

 Not Worth The MoneyMay 23, 2008
By G. D. Rossi
I bought these because they are smaller than the other Food Saver containers. They aren't anything more than harder Rubbermaid/Tupperware-like items. They do not hold a seal for longer than 2 days, 3 tops. We wasted so much food using these. The lid has a removable gasket, which is nothing more than a plastic rubber band. If it ever comes out (which is does when you clean them, they are that loose), you will never get them back in properly again. I would buy the regular, real Food Saver containers over these any day, even if they are too big; they are the same price and you'll waste less food. I'm getting rid of mine and not even giving them to Goodwill like I normally would.

Excellent productNov 20, 2010
By P.Maldini
"montesquieu"
I'm posting this review because I noticed reviews that complain about the ease of sealing and the short duration of the seal. My wife and I have been using the same set of containers for about two years. The sealing device does appear like it wouldn't work, but looks are deceiving. It works just fine. The only trick is to make sure the lid is down tight. I usually put some downward pressure on it as it seals. As for the duration of the seal, we've sealed things and have come back to them a couple of weeks later, and the seal is still air tight. I have a feeling many of the negative reviews are the result of user error.

I own the handheld FoodSaver vac system and these containers work awesome to store food and the vac seal works well. Nice quality and they seem like they will last for a long time but only time will tell. Good job FoodSaver!
