Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Debbie Meyer Green Bags
Customer Review: 8 months experience- superficial results
Summary: 2 Stars
As another reviewer stated, things look good on the outside, but rot just as quickly on the inside. Bruising is not an issue, as the bags seem to mask that problem.
I did a side-by-side comparison with bananas. The "control group" ripened just as we have always seen with bananas: darkened at the bruised areas, but you can cut out the bruised tissue & enjoy the "good part" that remains.
The "green bag group" looked good on the skin outside, but the actual fruit disentegrated when opened. It looked mealy. I could not bring myself to taste them. So-I will not buy them again.
take care!
Customer Review: A Sadder But Wiser Man
Summary: 1 Stars
I admit it! I was fooled! I read the writing on the box and believed what it said. The first things I put in the GreenBags I purchased were bananas. I wasn't sure but it seemed to me that the bananas turned brown faster than normal. Then, I purchased two bags of Dole Iceburg Butter Crunch Salad at the same time. I used half a bag and put the remaining half in a GreenBag, following directions. After about four days, I opened the GreenBag and was surprised to see a great deal of "rust" on the lettuce. I checked the unopened bag and noticed that none of the lettuce in that bag had "rust." The salad that wasn't put in the GreenBag last longer than the salad that was put in the GreenBag. Live and learn.Customer Review: A lot of hype
Summary: 1 Stars
I've read all the reviews on this product and have to agree with most that it does not work as advertised and is not worth the amount they charge for them.
I put some bananas in the bag and some outside the bag and watched them for a week. The ones inside the bag had fewer brown spots but the insides of each were exactly the same. However, the ones IN the bag molded from the moisture. I put paper towels in there and even tried to wipe it down but I have better things to do than come home and wipe down 10 bags of vegetables every day. Kind of defeats the purpose of the product. The same thing happened with my cherries and other fruits, they all molded within a few days.
I did find that the less moist vegetables did benefit from this. I stored broccoli and cauliflower in the bags and forgot about them in my fridge for 10 or 11 days and when I pulled them out, they were both still crunchy and edible. They had just begun to turn brown.
They advertise as washable and re-usable, but let's get real. Have you ever tried to wash a plastic bag and worse yet, to dry it? It's just not practical and depending on what you had in there, I'm just not sure it's safe to re-use.
I'll just stick with my current method of planning my shopping to buy only what I can use and freezing what I can't. See my review on Packmate 95000 Vacu-Seal Starter Kit with Handheld Vacuum Sealer and Bags.
Customer Review: AMAZING BAGS !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have no idea where these other reviewers find anything negative at all to say about these bags. They're obviously doing something wrong !!
I've used these bags over and over again on many types of fruits and vegetables. I'm on a diet where I need to keep a lot of vegetables for a number of days.
They work Extremely well !! I'm usually skeptical of TV products, but this is definitely a Keeper !!!
Customer Review: AMAZING!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found these at a local health food store and they're amazing! They keep fruits and vegetables fresh long after they would have been thrown away otherwise. I've got mandarin oranges sitting on my counter in a Green Bag that have been there for over TWO WEEKS - and they're just as fresh as the day I bought them. I'm sure I'll get another week or more out of them still.
Won't be without these now that I've tried them.
