I have a set of glass Lock&Lock containers, which sound similar. Also two sets in plastic, for non-fridge storage, although my husband keeps using the glass ones in the pantry, which continues to irk me. I posted something a few years ago about cleaning the lid gaskets when they get mildewed, but I can't find it. Anyway, after ruining one by using a knife, I found a YT video that showed how to use a credit card to slide out the gasket, and that works perfectly. So, should you ever need to do that . . . Thanks for the tip, Mondrian. The Glass Lock containers are probably similar. I think the deciding factor for me was the fact that a set was available at my local Target and I needed to spend a certain dollar amount for Target rewards. The first set is s working well enough that I will probably buy another set. The stack so nicely in the fridge. 2 Link to comment
chessiegal September 2, 2023 Share September 2, 2023 (edited) After 23 years, we have decided to sell our sailboat and become full-time landlubbers. My husband is getting all our stuff off the boat. I equipped the galley with everything one would need. The one thing I'm most pleased with is a wonderful Cuisinart chef's knife. It's sturdy and well-balanced. Some days it's the little things.

I use Himalayan sea salt that comes in a large grain - too big for normal use. I have an OXO salt grinder that has settings for different size grains from coarse to fine. So... After claiming that I had no interest in purchasing a salt grinder, I ordered what is probably the same OXO salt grinder you have yesterday on Amazon. The story is as follows: Spring 2023 - Loving my new pepper grinder; still no interest in grinding salt Summer 2023 - Eating many (MANY) tomato sandwiches. Saw a Himalayan sea salt "grinder" with the salt in it for $2.99 at the supermarket Purchased it and enjoyed many more tomato sandwiches. Late summer 2023 - Started using the sea salt grinder on many other things. Early fall 2023 - Piece of crap $2.99 grinder stopped working. Yesterday - Bought a good one. 5 1 6 Link to comment
Mondrianyone October 3, 2023 Share October 3, 2023 I posted somewhere a few weeks ago (can't find it in this thread) about using salt in a cheapo pepper grinder I happened to have. I was worried about ruining the grinder--I don't know why. Anyway, I went ahead and bought some grinding salt, and it's working fine (or coarse). I love it. I'm a convert to ground salt. 3 2 Link to comment

Per the internet, which I spent a little time looking at yesterday, salt will eventually corrode steel parts. Fancy ones that use steel put some kind of coating on the steel. 1 4 Link to comment

But I don't even know if this grinder has steel parts, so maybe it won't even be an issue. Anyway, it won't come close to breaking the bank if I have to replace it. 1 Link to comment

If you do have to replace it, I recommend going for something above my $2.99, including the salt, price point. 2 1 Link to comment
chessiegal October 23, 2023 Share October 23, 2023 I consider my dishwasher to be an essential kitchen gadget. Lately it had started smelling funky, even after a wash. I used Finish Dishwasher Cleaner today and it worked! Funk is gone. 1 1 Link to comment
Shelbie October 23, 2023 Share October 23, 2023 (edited) About a year ago I started using a dishwasher cleaner monthly. It never smells odd and my glasses and cutlery sparkle instead of looking cloudy. Edited October 23, 2023 by Shelbie 1 2 Link to comment

Yeah, I'm doing mine about every 2 months - the water where I live is so hard that you pretty much have to use a dishwasher cleaner to get the lime residue out of the hoses or say adios to your dishwasher way before time. 1 Link to comment
