Product Review: A fantastic aid if you're trying to bring a healthy lunch to work
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, so after a 3-year wait, I finally got a spot in my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program. As a result, I have loads of great produce and resolved to start taking lunch to the office. For a few days I used a plain square Rubbermaid thing, but a) there's no room in the teeny fridge in our office pantry for it (all the space gets filled up by 8AM) and b) if I wanted to bring dressing, I had to bring either a teeny jar or pour it on in the morning, resulting in soggy salad.
Yesterday, my Fit n Fresh arrived, and I gave it a test run today. Granted, I did spend a good 20 minutes last night figuring out how the salad-dressing magic valve worked, and snapping/unsnapping everything to loosen them up (it DOES ship very tight). Then I washed everything, made my salad, put herb oil and herb vinegar in the little dressing thingie, and put the cold pac in the freezer.
Well, today, as per usual, there was no room in the office fridge so I just let my salad stay in a plastic bag in my tote bag. I took that salad out at 7:45 AM this morning and didn't get a chance to eat until 1 PM, and it was still cold! As per instructions, before eating, I removed the ice pack, replaced the lid, popped the little dressing container, and shook my salad up.
It was fantastic. Everything worked the way it should, my salad was yummy and the correct temperature (a good thing 'cause it's as hot as the surface of Venus in NYC at the moment).
I see many are complaining about the cheap little spork and knife they ship. I'm not nuts about them either, but in the future I plan to use that compartment to store dried cherries or other salad sprinkle-ons anyway. Also, I have access to real flatware at the office, so this isn't such an issue for me. Note that if you're toting your own lunch to work and have to bring this home anyway, you may as well bring flatware from home also.
What would make this product extra-special-super-perfect would be a second snap on compartment that fits OVER the main lid--one thin and flattish--to hold stuff like a slice of bread or something. Otherwise, I say get one or more of these--I can see myself using mine every day.
Product Review: Are You Kidding
Summary: 1 Stars
Back to the Drawing board. This is the dumbest item I have ever seen. The plastic to plastic seal for the dressing is ridiculous. Its not even close on the seal. The dressing leaks out in minutes. I wish I could get my money back. This should be taken off the market, until someone figures it out.I always have good luck at Amazon, this is a product they should throw out the window, instead of hampering their reputation.This should be sold on JUNK.COM
Thanks a lot for NOTHING
Product Review: Best salad container ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I take salads to work every day. This container makes it so easy to carry with me, even if where I'm going has no fridge. There's never any soggy salad since the dressing is only placed on the salad just before you eat (in fact, it's also easy to use if you're a "dipper"). My only complaint is that my forks don't fit into the compartment on the lid... and I don't like using plastic forks because they break too easily. I guess my forks are just too big.Product Review: Big salad, tiny spork
Summary: 4 Stars
First off: this is a really great container. There's plenty of room for a good-sized lunch salad; honestly, if you can't fit a full salad with all the goodies on top, then you probably need to double check your portion size. I actually have enough room left over to tuck a baggie of sugar snap peas on top for a snack. The ice pack works just like they claim, and it's still almost completely frozen by the time I eat lunch!
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the included spork is a bit of a joke. It's pretty small, but I guess you could rationalize that it makes you eat slower so you get full before you pig out. I've never worried about the utensils breaking, but I think they could've included one of the bigger folding forks like one of their other conatiners has. All that being said, the sporkette isn't enough of a problem for me to not love this container.
Product Review: Buying two more
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this item so much that I am buying two more! I find the salad container very roomy and holds a good sized salad plus I like the salad dressing dispenser. Works great! It can be a bit hard open though as other reviewers have stated but I have not found it to be an issue. The utensils are too small for my liking and I choose to bring a "regular" fork to eat with. I now eat salads for lunch everyday because this item has made it so easy. A great product overall.
