I store carrots, brussels,, parsnips swede etc in them and keep them in a cupboard.
I don't have much room in my fridge so what doesn't fit in goes in a bag and in the cupboard.
Potatoes are in a homemade cloth bag.
Just read the question again.....answer......yes

I put rubbish in them then put them straight in the wheelie bin to cut down on bin bags.May all your dots fall silently to the ground.0

I cut them up and use them to separate things like pancakes or HM beanburgers / potato cakes in the freezer - they stick much less than parchment paper or foil and can be swished in the sink to wash.0
