OXO Good Grips Prep & Go Container

The OXO 3.3 Cup Prep & Go Container has a white plastic bottom and a clear plastic top. The top cover has a removable inner blue seal that is washable. The container’s inner dimensions are about 4.5 (W) x 6 (L) x 2 (H) inches. On the longer sides of the cover, there are two side clasps, that are relatively easy to close. It does not have two clasps on the top and bottom, shorter sides of the cover of the product. The cover’s blue seal fits into the opening of the bottom container, to make the tight seal, rather than fitting over the entire bottom part of the container and covering it. When filled with water, drops of liquid leaked out of the container, when placed on its side or shaken. The water seemed to leak out of the rounded corners and the top and bottom sides ... MoreThe OXO 3.3 Cup Prep & Go Container has a white plastic bottom and a clear plastic top.

The capacity is listed as 3.3 cups; 4 C would have been better because it would be easier to put measured amounts into a container with a whole number capacity. It fit one medium bell pepper in it, but compressed the top of it. It is made of BPA-free plastic, but glass, steel, or another, more environmentally friendly material would be more preferable. The product has a “1% for the Planet” label on it, which seems to be an organization that encourages businesses to donate 1% of sales to environmental groups and focus on “issue categories,” such as the environment and pollution. However, since this product is plastic, it is contributing to environmental waste, was well. Overall, this is an adequate product, that is not completely leak-proof to liquids, and is an unusual capacity of 3.3 cups, that useful for storing small amounts of food.

This container is very good quality, I cut up some fruit an put the lid on, an then I knocked it over by accident. It’s safe to say the lid remained on! I put the container in my refrigerator for a few day, I went to eat some fruit an it was so fresh an amazing! I would definitely recommend buying this container. Easy to grab an go. It doesn’t take up much space which is Amazing! My kids cannot get it open. One happy mama.

The Prep & Go container was great for some of my meal prep. I used it a few times, one time for protein and another time for a dressed salad. The container is big enough for meal prep, easy enough to close and trust it being spill proof and easy enough to clean in the dishwasher and by hand.My first use was for sliced rib eye steak for meal prep. I was pretty excited. It keep everything in, nothing spilled. I warmed in microwave. The lips on the side make it easy for it to be handled after the microwave. My steak had some juices but I was not worried, it all stayed in. The lid has snap handles which assure its seal.My only issue was that before I even warmed the steak the smell seeped through the lid. I double checked the seal and close and it was on securely.

I wondered if that would hinder being able to keep items fresh. I have not stored items longer than meal prep to eat time.The second item I stored was a hearty kale broccoli, Brussel sprout salad with flax seed and dressing. Everything stayed in and secured.I washed this in the dishwasher and it came up very clean. I also cleaned by hand after salad and it cleaned right away.Would highly recommend this product. The lips make it comfortable in your hands to carry, the snap seals assure your spill proof and clean up is a breeze. I like that the lid is see through so you are able to identify what your meal is. I also enjoy that the container is not clear. In my experience after dishwashing so many storage containers, is that you begin to see the bluster in the material. I do not see that here as the material is less porous.
