Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of FoodSaver T020-00079-010 2-Quart Open Stock Rectangular Canister with Cheese Grater
Customer Review: Good Product
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the depth of this container. I use it more for storage than as a marinator because of its depth. This is excellent for keeping berries fresh. I have no use for the grater; I prefer the food processor and standing graters. The canister is a clear plastic, which looks much better than the smoke-colored ones.
As a marinator, it produced very flavorful chicken, but I'm not sure if it was more flavorful than traditionally marinated.
I am giving this four stars instead of five because the canister is top-rack dishwasher safe, but the lids are not.
Customer Review: Great size
Summary: 4 Stars
Great foodsaver canister. The locking lid is a great feature which also creates "handles" that make it easer to lift and transport (unlike the round canister). And if you didn't know...all of the rectangular foodsaver containers use the same size lid (unlike the round canisters)....and if you have the 1 qt or 1.5 qt rectangular canisters...the grater fits in them, too.
The only reason I don't give it 5 stars...is that I think the lids should have been flat so that you could stack multiple containers on top of each other. Without the lids on (like when storing them in your cupboard), the containers are stackable...just would have been nice if they could be stacked with the lids on too.
Customer Review: Had my first cracked canister
Summary: 3 Stars
I emailed their Customer Service to inquire as to the availability of replacement parts, after one of my rectangular canisters developed a crack across the bottom.
They merely stated that "Unfortunately, the canister is not available separately." There was no mention of any failures that have occurred with the canisters, but I suspect that they no longer sell them because of the failures that have occurred.
No mention of warranty replacement, since mine was about 9 months old.
So far, 3 other canisters have not cracked, but I wonder how long it will be.
Customer Review: My favorite vacuum container
Summary: 5 Stars
We have this container in constant use in the refrigerator, holding prewashed/precut veggies for snacking. I find it easier to pack food into than our assorted tall, round canisters. It has actually improved our nutrition because the clear container with colorful veggies all ready to eat is the most beautiful thing in the refrigerator. And the veggies stay all nice and fresh and crunchy - no more slimy pepper strips!
The only downside is that you can't stack anything on top of the domed lid. I don't use the cheese grater.
Customer Review: These sometimes develop cracks for no reason
Summary: 4 Stars
I just wanted to alert users of the foodsaver canisters that two of mine while quite new developed a crack in the bottom for no reason. Foodsaver's customer service said this sometimes happens and willingly replaced the defective ones, so if you have this problem and are sure the cracks had nothing to do with your using it improperly, don't hesitate to call them.
