i love trying out new kitchen products.

i guess that shouldn’t be a surprise since the kitchen is one of my favorite places to spend time.

so, when oxo offered me the opportunity to try out some of their lock-top containers as part of their blogger outreach program, i enthusiastically agreed!

i was sent one large (6.3 cup) container, plus two each of the 2 & 4 oz. containers.

i filmed a little video review of the containers.

in case you can’t watch the video, here are the basics:

the containers are dishwasher, freezer, and microwave safe
they are bpa free (yay!)
they have a great seal to prevent any leaks
easy top open and close
stackable
they have clear lids and sides so you can see what is inside

i like using the 2 oz. containers for packing hummus and salad dressings in my lunches – no spills! the 4 oz. containers are great for portioning out single servings of snacks (in my case – frozen grapes). and the large container is perfect for bringing salads in my lunch and then tossing in the dressing or for tossing chickpeas in oil and spices to make sweet & spicy roasted chickpeas!

oxo was kind enough to send me a second set of the containers to give away to one of my readers!

the winner will receive:

one large (6.3 cup) container
two 2 oz. containers
two 4 oz. containers
an extra treat or two from me for good measure!

*giveaway is open to u.s. residents only – sorry international friends.
