I used the last of the lettuce this evening for a salad. A few of the
leaves had that brownish tint that comes from cutting with a knife (even
though I tore the lettuce by hand). But all of the leaves were still crisp.
Not a touch of slime. Tasted great. Now this lettuce went into the
tupperware container on September 2. Good stuff. I will definitely buy
more of these containers.

(No connection, just as a buyer.)

I take it you're talking about Iceberg? Sure.. long shelf life, but no
flavor, no vitamins and not a lot else going for it except that shelf
life and the high water content crunch.

You know, I like the flavor of iceberg lettuce. I never buy it, but
maybe I'll get some today, I like a cross section in pita with mayo.
I know, extremely lame, but what can I say? At any rate, I usually
buy romaine, it seems to last a decent length of time, too.

After reading various discussions on lettuce in RFC, we now use
a combination of leaf, Romaine, and iceburg for salads, sandwiches,
etc. It's the best of both worlds, so to speak...

The point was the utility of the Tupperware container. The poster had
mentioned getting this gadget that promised to extend the life of
lettuce, and promised to report back on how it actually worked. Which
it apparently did. Now if we could just remember *which* gadget it
was. :-)

The lettuce storage bowl? Designed to hold a head, presumably, of
iceberg lettuce. The bottom insert keeps it elevated above the bottom of
the container. The lid seals tightly.

Sorry, I should have included the name. I found the paper - they are called
"Fridgesmart". They have these 2 little openings with tabs to open or close
the opening. And there is a list of fresh fruit and vegetables which tells
whether to open or close one, none or both tabs.

I have their salad spinner, use it twice weekly to make a huge salad,
and store the prepared stuff directly in the bottom container (after
draining the water). Works like a charm. Probably one of the best
$30 I ever spent.

I searched the Tupperware site for "lettuce" which turned up no
references. So 'fridgesmart' is the thing to look for. Thanks, Judy.

Welcome. Cheaper on Ebay. ;o}

Hi all! Judy, glad to hear you are happy with your Fridgesmart. I love
the whole set and use it for carrots, sugar snap peas, peppers, grapes,
etc. I can't get enough. I love to go to Cost Co and buy in bulk and it
is the only thing that keeps it fresh forever!

They also have brought back another classic for lettuce: The Super
Crisp-It.

Is it true that Tupperware gives donations to terrorist groups?
