Keeping salad fresh....

Penny-Pincher!!

You can also get Vintage ones on Ebay from Tupperware. These are huge and ugly but do the job very well.

That looks fantastic...do you think it would work in a normal airtight tub with a homemade draining grid?

I have a Tupperware lettuce keeper. It keeps a lettuce for weeks.

I usually have good success without buying any special equipment, for lettuce anyway.

All I do is wash and dry the lettuce, then wrap it kitchen paper so that the kitchen paper is a couple of sheets thick. Then I put this in a resealable bag, and squeeze as much air as possible out. The bag goes in the fridge as normal.

This keeps it for up to a week, and it's really crispy. I'm not sure how well it works with 'mixed' salads.

Hi Jenster,

There's an earlier thread with ideas on keeping salad fresh that may help so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

Hello, I would like to prepare iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and onion on Sunday for my sandwiches monday - friday. How can I do this and keep them all fresh? Just cop and stick them in a tupaware box?

Any help much appreciated!

I got these for free as part of a special offer I picked up here - it may well have closed now - not sure I'd pay £3 odd for them, but they are good. If you nip round mine, I'll let you have a couple!
