I’ve been a fan of Tupperware® for decades. I especially love their big bowls (like the Thatsa™ Mega Bowl). That being said, I have found a new love: Lock&Lock.
What makes Lock&Lock different is that they quick and easy to seal – you just press down two of the four tabs at a time and just like the name, you lock and lock. There has been many a time when I thought I’d properly sealed a container from other food storage systems only to find salad dressing all over the inside of my bag at the end of the day.
Lock&Lock has been on QVC since 2001 (and is now available at my favorite brick and mortar retailer Target) but I didn’t buy any pieces until just a couple of months ago when I bought the 4-piece pitcher & mixer set. Now that I’m addicted to Arbonne’s Go Easy! Protein Shakes, I constantly use the mixers. They have a little insert that looks like a wagon wheel that breaks up any lumps. I just put in some water, add some ice cubes (I like my shakes cold), and add the shake mix. I lock down the lid, shake the mixer and voilà – I have a tasty, smooth, healthy shake.
Now, I wasn’t sealing my mixers correctly, pressing only one tab at a time and over time I tore off one of the locking tabs. I called the U.S. office of Lock&Lock and they are sending me a new lid (free of charge, I must add). A great product AND customer service? I guess it can still happen outside of Nordstrom.
I think my next Lock&Lock purchase will be the divided container which is like a little bento box. As a child, there was a period when I wanted all of my food separated onto different saucers so nothing would touch. Now there is a modern, more convenient way to keep my foods’ flavors from getting all mixed up. Okay, maybe it’s not good to feed these OCD tendencies but bento sure is tidy and pretty as well.
