Can anyone tell me what happened to 2 for Tuesday on Woot?

Amen!

reading the reviews from amazon and all the things my fellow wooters have said here, you all sold me. In for 3, one each color. Two for the wife and me and the 3rd one for my aunt who has given me countless pieces of tupperware over the span of my lifetime filled with delicious foods...

I've been using lock n lock for years. They are great! Air tight, great on the top rack of the dishwasher. Just be careful heating them up too much in the microwave especially with red sauce.

I genuinely LOVE the quality of these, but now what do I do with all my beloved Chinese takeout containers?

rkstevens wrote:I've never used Lock & Locks but on my other plastic containers I'll just place the lid over the container off-centered so there are small gaps for the steam to escape but not a big enough opening for splatters to be a problem. I don't know if the lock hinges would get in the way or not. Otherwise, you can always resort to paper towels or paper plates to cover the containers.

I always just unlock three of the sides and leave one on to create a vent.

Love these things! My parents bought me a set of two many years ago for Christmas and I have to keep a close eye on them because every time I have people over for dinner they attempt to take home their left overs in them. Then it will take forever to get them back. Like anything else, if you do use them in the microwave to heat up anything acidic like anything with tomatoes or bbq sauce it will scar the inside of plastic. That is just the nature of plastic vs. anything acidic.

I have a lot of these and love them!! In for one of each color :0)

No reviews, but if you're interested in price matching on Amazon, here are the two individual sets that make-up this Woot...

That last little zing about the microwave sounded personal to me.

I am addicted to these little guys. They keep food fresher longer, container is truly ari tight. They don't warp, they don't hold odor. Stop thinking about it and just buy it already. Last time you waited they were sold out, because smart people like me didn't wait to hop on a good deal. Get em, you'll love em, you can thank me later.

Ewww... Gross! If you saw the inside of the refrigerator at my office, you'd never consider putting the outside of your storage container anywhere near your food! ;-)

I have used Lock & Lock for years. Can keep produce fresh in fridge for weeks. The nesting (stacking) is important. You can go from freezer to microwave, so great for leftovers. I use handled one for lunch box. Water bottle is new for me--first time I've seen that design. I recommend this 150%. And for $9 for 8 rectangle boxes, they're cheaper than holiday cookie containers. Use them to give home made holiday treats to neighbors.

•the 18.8 C container will give you plenty of space for a 5-pound bag of flour and scooper
•the 15 C container will give you lots of extra room for a 5-pound bag of sugar and scooper
•the 5 C container will give you ample space for a 2-pound bag of brown sugar so you have room to get a measuring spoon/cup inside (you don't really "scoop" brown sugar <=D)

Great info, thanks! I've been wanting new pantry canisters and did some math on the last set (1 cup of flour ~ 5 oz, to 15 c ~ 5 lbs) and determined they wouldn't work. My math said this set would, but nice to have confirmation!

In for three, gonna reform my pantry! I keep a LOT of different flours and other dry goods on hand.

Ha! What the h____ are you going to do with 54 containers? You'll need to buy one jumbo container to keep them all in.

xstevejx wrote:I think these are the ones Cooks Illustrated said were the best of about a dozen brands they tested. The only 'bad' thing they mentioned about them is that they can leak a little at first, but the silicon seal actually got better after several dishwasher washings.

That would make them unacceptable, and necessitate a return. If they aren't air tight from day one, they aren't any good.

Does everyone else's say their name? Is Woot doing a mass replace where each user reads their own name in the writeup? I can't tell because my name IS Jennifer.

Hey Jen, just so you know they don't go around erasing and putting in others name. However, they did cross out 'your' name in the original post. I think they were afraid of you! You had the grandiose idea that they had put your name in there specifically for you. Based on that I think they worried what else you thought and would you become a woot stalker...LOL..it's all in good fun Jen...

I wish LnL would make flour/sugar/corn meal storage containers so that the opened (or unopened) bag could be slipped inside then lock the lid and store in the upright position. Guess i'll have to visit their website to make that suggestion.

Actually it's 27 containers and 27 lids. Ahhh.. marketing.

Or animal care or zoo. They need them to store food and supplies for animals.

Lock & Lock Storage Set from sellout.woot then included for $14.99 (vs. $9.99 today):

Edit: this time however, can't find it on the Lock and Lock site to price-compare like last month's sale.

If Mom finds out how much I paid. Less than qvc sells them for she might flip

Mama Bear say's to buy 3.....It's going to be a WOOT Christmas !!!!

Q: Does this work with the Mac?

A: Yes, but, only with the Mac Mini. When not in use, both the 15 cup and the 18.8 cup Lock & Lock can be used to store your disconnected Mac Mini to keep it dry in the event of a hurricane, flood, or plumbing disaster. (The orange lid also adds an attractive accent color to the otherwise bland Mac Mini design for storage.)

Any one know the plastic recycling number of these?

You should only buy 1,2,3 or 5 if used for food. I think these are 5 but i could not confirm this for sure.

Why would you store food in the dishwasher?

With two sisters and my mom... will there be a set left for me?

Once you use lock&lock you will never want to use anything else. 3 Sets are not enough. Since I started using these little fella's a few months ago, I have gotten at least 12 different sets. I am redoing my kitchen. You need to order more, or tell your sisters and your mother that you moved and are on a secret mission which forbids you telling them where you are. Yes you will love these containers so much you might give up your family just to own these.

In for 1 of each.

The ones from the sellout.woot are 5.

Made a joke to my wife about these, and now I'm in for one.

Lock & Lock is sold on QVC as well, if you'd like to check out the reviews there....pretty sure you won't be able to beat the woot! price (especially the shipping costs)

joeharter wrote:Quality? Deemed by who, Woot Boss?
Sheep.

Seems to me that you have now made several posts adding exactly nothing of fact about the product - the thing you were complaining about.

Nothing but a troll looking to have their words on screen.

In for two cuz I like fresh food. Woot Woot!!

This is a bargain! I got several pieces from their website (for about 5 x the price) and love them!

In for three. We never have enough storage containers.

We recently had a pantry moth infestation. Those moths got into everything included unopened bags & plastic jars of rice. I've got some contains that look like Lock & Lock and the moths got into them too.

Only the Lock & Lock kept them out. I liked Lock & Lock before that, but now I'm a fan.

Isn't that really just 9 pieces? To me the lid of an item is part of that item.

These are perfect for Geocaching containers

We've been using these for years. They are great! In for one!

I've always top-loaded mine and never had a problem.

I bought some of these at the grocery store a few years ago for carrying sandwiches, yogurt, salad dressing to work. They work great and still look almost like new.

I second the instruction to remove the seal when you clean them. Otherwise you will have little moldy, icky things growing around the lid. I just use a fork or a butter knife to ease up the edge of the ring and it comes right out.

I only bought two sets and now I wish I had bought three.
