If you have worked in an office for any length of time, you know how disgusting these refrigerators can get if there is no anal secretary there to keep it clean. You may have experienced the disappearance of your lunch or spare soda at one time or another. With the portable mini-fridge from Horschow, you’ll not only be able to keep your food safe but keep it within handy reach at your desk. As an added feature, you can set this fridge to hot or cold with the press of a switch.

Dimensions: 9.5″W x 6.5″D x 9″T

I have a different set, the one with the carousel and smaller containers. Overall, I like these containers. They are made out of durable plastic that doesn’t stain when you use them to store leftover spaghetti sauce or chili. Unlike Tupperware, the lids don’t shrink when you accidentally place them in the bottom rack of the dishwasher. I also like the snaps on the sides of these lids, which are much easier to seal and open than the Tupperware lids.

That said, my only gripe is with the silicone seals. I’ve had my set for about two years and already the seals are coming loose from the lids. I think I know why. I’ve opened the dishwasher many times to find the lids on the bottom rack. Perhaps the heat and the water dissolved the glue that holds the seal in place. At any rate, I recommend washing the lids in the top rack because of this.

The set shown in the above photo includes two 10-oz., two 16-oz., plus one each: 22-oz., 35-oz., 37-oz., 58-oz., 85-oz. and 145-oz. containers plus matching lids.

I’ve used a variety of bowls, containers and Ziploc bags to marinate meats and poultry. Usually, I’ll set the meat to marinate overnight. With FoodSaver’s 2 1/4-quart Quick Marinator, I can marinate my meats as quickly as 30 minutes. You can also use this to store other types of food. The built-in vacuum creates an air-tight seal, which will keep food fresh for a longer period of time.
