Hot dogs have a way of hanging around the fridge, bacon not so much. However, if for some reason you find yourself in need of pork product storage, these Hot Dog and Bacon Keeper Stay Fresh Storage Containers are here to help. The dishwasher-safe containers are specially designed to hold either a pound of bacon or a 10-pack of hot dogs. Safe for freezer or refrigerator use, the “airtight” storage containers appear to be sold individually. Not surprisingly, it looks like the Bacon Keeper is on sale for a reduced price, while the Hot Dog Keeper seems to be on backorder.

Pickle forks and long fingers aside, digging out elusive ingredients from a liquid-filled jar can be a pain in the neck. (Or wrist as the case may be.) Chances are, trying to retrieve the pickle you want only results in a vinegary mess on the countertop. Until they start making pickle jars with strainers for easy access, additional equipment will be needed.

Affordable and convenient, the Klip It Round Food-Storage Containers with Bonus Strainers make it easy to store everything from pickles to leftovers. Available in a 23-ounce or a 33-ounce size, the storage containers seal tightly and are made from BPA-free plastic. Freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe.

Storage bags are extremely convenient in the kitchen despite being poorly designed. What’s that you say? How can a bag be poorly designed? Well okay, maybe it’s not the bag’s fault, it’s just that they would be a whole heck of a lot easier to use if we had three hands, the extra one being used to prop open the bag while we pour stuff in.

As humans, we’ve been using bags long enough, perhaps it’s time for evolution to step in and help us out here. I think a third hand would look quite stunning protruding from… well, somewhere. Or, we could wait for evolution to occur on it’s own timetable and use the Baggy Rack in the meantime. Either way.

“New revolutionary freezer bags allow you to monitor the freshness, safety and quality of your food.”

Don’t Fah-Get Freezer Bags go beyond that of a normal freezer bag… oh, no never mind, they don’t. They’re pretty much just freezer bags with a space to write on. Useful? Sure. But “revolutionary”? Come on.

Refrigerators can become cluttered places. Adding to the confusion, amidst all the fresh food waiting to become meals, leftover ingredients lurk behind every corner. Sometimes you may know that you have a half-used tomato, but actually finding it becomes a chore in and of itself. Not so, when using the Produce Saver Set.

Designed to look like the food item they contain, the storage devices keep freshness and flavor in, while making it easy to find what you are looking for in the fridge. The twist-lock plastic containers are sold in sets of two and come as a red and yellow onion set, a garlic and tomato set, or as a lemon and lime set.

Produce doesn’t always come in convenient sizes. Sometimes, we just need a bite. Whether you just need a few slices of tomato for a sandwich or want half of an apple as a snack, the unused portion needs to be stored for later use.

Produce Savers by Evriholder Products are a set of specifically (very specific) designed gadgets for saving and storing common produce. Available in five distinct styles, the produce savers work by protecting the produce from surrounding air. Place your fruit or vegetable cut side down, and clip to hold in place. The lack of contact to air helps to prevent browning and keep the produce clean.

The produce savers are certainly fanciful creations, and at $3.99 each, they are definitely affordable. And fun too. The cucumber holder looks like a cucumber, and the lemon holder perfectly imitates the shape of a lemon.
