How big is it? A pint or? Does it keep strawberries fresh for a long period of time?

I haven't tried strawberries in it yet and I'm not sure as far as how much it holds. It is 9" long, 4 1/2" wide, and 3 1/2" deep if that helps. And it is big enough to hold a full carton of strawberries you get at the store.

well it is big enough for a small bag of lettuce and I have put strawberries in mine and it did alot better than when you keep them in the plastic container they come in from the grocery. I also wash my strawberries and just put them and always follow the directions on the outside of the container it tells you where to put dial at and if you should add water or not to the container. It does work really good, I also put berries in it and they last alot longer as well.

you might also try to first wash your strawberries or any berries in a solution of 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water. Place berries in solution and swirl around. Place in colander to drain, rinsing is optional. The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria that might be on the surface of the fruit. Place in container and store in fridge.

I have one of those little fridges and it fits on the shelf if you have it all the way down. Tea stays fresh for what seems to be a good week if not more (i let some go 4 weeks and then only noticed a slight distaste).

It cuts out the core. How far down you push the button determines how wide it opens. So push, insert, twist - remove the core and enjoy the strawberry.

You can make a pint at a time. This is the size I usually make as I am still new to the machine. It is great for mixes such as Junket Ice Cream Mix which makes 1 pint/or 2 cups of mix. I like this because I do not run into any problems with it overflowing the container when freezing.

While I haven't tried this on on anything other than boiled potatoes, my feeling is that this would not work very well to mash fresh strawberries. It's round edges would probably just slip around the chunks of strawberry. I think you would have more success using the "grid" type of masher.

Its about three inches long. It hold a good amount as long as you cut it up small. I can put in a slice of cucumber, slice lemon and some herbs.. that's my favorite:) I have really liked mine. once in awhile the infuser does come off the lid and floats in the water but not a big deal. and the fruits or veggies I put in last all day as long as I keep cold water in my bottle. I am drinker a lot more water now. Hope this helps

It can do it very well. I set mine on number 4 (15 minutes). My strawberries will last for a week for sure. That's about as long as it takes my crew to go through them. My do heart's of Romans, and butter crisp lettuce. It will hold in the crisper all week as I buy enough to last that long. The secret is to let it drain and dry as completely before putting it in a zip lock bag and into the veggie crisper. I love this machine. I did water today and it is the best tasting water I have ever tasted (tap, at that). Just start slowly, about an ounce at a time to see how it makes you feel. Hope this helps.

It would hold a pint, it is the size of a side salad to go container or sandwich container

It's funny you should ask. After having these for maybe a year, I just started trying to standardize how I make my son's breakfast farina. It comfortably holds 6 oz to within maybe 1/4-1/2 inch from the brim. They're a great size for my 15 mo. It holds enough for a good sized meal and by the time he finishes that amount, it's nice to add a warm refill for him if he's still hungry.

About a pint, or around four cups. The two sides are equal in volume, with each holding the same amount.

In my experience , I put 2 blu apples into my produce bin. I stored strawberries in their ventilated container inside of the drawer with 2 apples. The next week they were still good. So, I have decided to have extra apples around to stuff into clipped spinach bags, and bagged salads and veggies... the stuff you never have room for in your produce drawer. i think it will work like an enclosed drawer.I am impressed and I like that I don't have to wash out and reuse the green bags that serve the same purpose. Yes , this works. It is just a matter of chemistry. I liked the green bags too, years ago, but got tired of washing the bags and having them dry all over my kitchen and be messy looking. I like the blu apples better...but you need more than 2 to cover everything if you like having veggies stored. Hey, for cost of produce, why not try it? It works for me. I toss a whole lot less into the compost bin. Don't expect miracles, highly delicate items like raspberries will last longer than usual but nothing is a miracle cure for nature.

Almost 4 inch long, I would say. One big strawberry to fit in normally if you are looking at the width. I hope it helps. I usually add mint leaves and I cut cucumbers and add it to the infuser. Strawberries if small can be put in normally. But the big one you will have to cut it is half to give it some breathing room.

I use prepackaged salads and the bags work well, keeping the unopened greens fresh for about three weeks although they should be consumed sooner. Once open, the salad should keep for about two weeks. I also pack the green bag into a Debbie Meyer green box and it keeps food fresher even longer. Not as good for strawberries, however!

The colander I have is about 7-8 inches long. I think it is a mini. I'm assuming the other colander is bigger. It does hold a lot of berries. I use mine every day. I love it. I don't know if this helps you. I hope so.

I believe it's the same size as a pint glass. Don't know the actual measurement but if you have a pint glass use that as a reference.

It is about 2,5 inches , the proper size to position more than one in the garden and keep the feed fresh. No long time access to humidity... . The birs like it!

It's for storing small, toiletry related items. I use it for cotton swabs. You could actually put anything in there, but I wouldn't eat or drink out of it. It is roughly pint sized.
