Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of ExtraLife Produce Preserver Disks - Set of 3
Customer Review: works better when in a more airtight environment
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried using these in the fridge veggie basket just like the instructions say, but it didn't really make much difference there. It prolonged the life of fruits and veggies by maybe a couple of days at best. Was thinking of just chucking it, but then got a patch of berries and I put them in a bowl with a cover on it. The cover was not 100% air tight as it had about 2 tiny holes in it, but more airtight than the fridge basket. (yes I know fridges are airtight, but you open it 10 times a day and air gets trapped in there). I put this baby in the bowl with the stawberries. The life of the berries extended DRAMATICALLY. I put in berries that were on sale because they were already ripe and maybe only had a couple of days life left in them and a whole week later they looked and felt exactly the same as the day I first put them in the bowl. I've done this several times with fruits and I must say I'm very pleased. But for me I must say that it doesn't work nearly as well when I put it in the fridge basket. I just put in in a sealed container with the fruits and that works much better.Customer Review: Drop mah drawers--they WORK wonderfully

I bought one as a lark, and because I'm a fool for anything 'new'. Lo and behold, the bloody thing works--and not only works, it saves produce for so long they pay for themselves. Put one in those boxes of lettuce you get from the store and forget to use all of--the lettuce lasted longer than marked on the lid, by weeks. So truly, try one at least. Take a permanent marker and mark it when opened with date, it will save you money and today--produce is costly enough that I need to take extra care.Customer Review: Amazing idea and product!

Really work great! - they absorb ethylene, the hormone produced by plants as they ripen. Produce stays amazingly fresh. After buying these regularly for years in US military commissaries overseas, I couldn't believe none of our local grocery stores carried them. But Amazon has everything. I'm happy again saving money while romaine stays fresh up to a month (I kid you not!) Well worth the cost. Innovative idea too. Don't waste your money on refrigerator bags - no comparison.Customer Review: Great idea!
Summary: 5 Stars
I hate grocery shopping more than dentistry. I do however like my fresh produce and have tried every setting on my refridgerator produce compartments to no great end. This item has definitely extended the shelf life of my produce and is well worth the reasonable cost in testing. I do not use it for fruits but have heard that it works. Dunno. But I am quite happy with the product and would recommend as well as buy again after the recommended 90-day use cycle.Customer Review: Works for me

It could be my imagination, but I have noticed that these disks extend the life of produce. I buy and eat a LOT of fresh produce and I can now buy more in one shopping trip and not have it go to waste before it can be consumed. Also seems to work on bagged veggies - I buy bagged salad and matchstick carrots, and I leave them open a bit while in the crisper. These disks also seem to last longer than 3 months (again, could be my imagination).
