OXO’s $4 produce keepers replace plastic wrap — and they keep cut onions fresh for over a week

Odor-proof your crisper drawer while the set is 60% off.

There’s a new fate for all of those half-squeezed lemons, oozing onions, and browning avocados forgotten in the back of the fridge — and it has good ramifications for your future grocery bills. 

Though plastic wrap is convenient, it only gets one use, doesn’t trap strong produce odors, and hardly even extends the life of sliced fruits and vegetables. OXO makes it a lot easier to kick the plastic bag habit with its clever Cut & Keep silicone food savers that lock in freshness and prevent your fridge from getting stinky — and right now, you can grab a set of two for 60% off.  

OXO Cut & Keep Silicone Produce Keepers, Set of 2

$20 $8 at Oxo

The reusable silicone food storage containers are flexible enough to handle whatever odds and ends are left after you’ve finished making your meal. The stretchy silicone material can mold around oddly shaped wedges and slices, seal in freshness, and keep potent smells, like onion odor, from taking over the fridge. Simply place the cut side down on the flat base, snap the simple airtight closure shut, and your half-eaten produce will live to see more than just another day. The set includes two sizes that can protect the unused portion of everything from a grape tomato to half a jumbo avocado. “I love that I can use these instead of plastic wrap or foil,” one shopper gushed, while another is happy to save on Ziploc bags. No more plastic wrap, and no more slimy leftover produce — “less waste all around.” 

“Works great and space-saving,” said one buyer who was surprised to see just how often they reach for these produce keepers. “They are in constant rotation and save some onions from going slimy or getting forgotten,” they expressed. “I am amazed at how long my tomato and onion are lasting,” said another shopper, while one person shared, “These really make a difference in freshness versus the alternative of throwing your items in the crisper drawer.”

These compact food savers won’t only trap freshness but also odors. Sliced onions are notorious for smelling more and more with each passing day, and small enclosed spaces like the fridge can make it twice as intense. One buyer who stores half-used onions in the OXO containers says they can never catch a whiff. “I have had half an onion in the onion keeper for over a week — it is still fresh, and no odors in the fridge!”

Snap citrus wedges shut after hosting happy hour, preserve fresh tomato slices for this week’s lunch, and keep that extra onion half crisp and the fridge stink-free with these non-toxic, reusable airtight food containers. Now 60% off, you can stock up on OXO Cut & Keep silicone produce keepers for just $4 apiece.
