Top 5 “Food Preservation” Gifts

1) Lighted Tongs
Dishwasher-safe tongs with an LED light built into the handle makes grilling a breeze, day and night.

2) Guacamole Preservation Container
Usually guac won’t last more than a day without browning. But this guacamole container creates an airtight seal that keeps oxygen out, so it stays green and fresh for days. (It’s great for hummus, salsa, and tzatziki, too.) Push the the container’s base to remove the air, which raises the guac to the top. The push feature comes in handy as you start enjoying the dip—give a press and it lifts the contents to the top and avoids the need to scrape dip off the sides.

3) Silicone Snack Bags
This reusable silicone bag cuts down on waste by replacing throwaway plastic baggies. Each is completely plastic-free, and seals up to keep food fresh. Eco-friendly, too, the bag is lunch box-ready, and can go from the pantry into the freezer, microwave, or dishwasher without worry. Is there anything this mighty bag can’t do? Well, it won’t break down like plastic does—or get tossed away.

4) Produce Preserver Paper
FreshPaper™ is a simple piece of paper that keeps fruits & veggies fresh for 2-4 times longer, organically. Biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable and Made in the USA.

5) Multi-Purpose Silicone Lid Cover - XL Single (9"-12" D)
This stretchy, flexible bowl cover solves the lost (or melted) lid problem, and is designed to be a kitchen multi-tasker, too. Its microwave- and oven-safe design comes in various sizes to cover bowls, plates, or cups. Use it as a pot holder, or a non-skid surface during food prep. It’s food-safe and BPA-free and, to keep track of the contents, you can label it with a dry erase marker.
