Would these work for strawberries? All the 'berry' storage containers seem to be very small.

I think this would be a great size for strawberries. It would be roomy enough you wouldn't have to worry about bruising your berries when snapping the top shut.

Have not tried strawberries (or any fruit) in them but should work OK. They do form air tight seal and are OK in dishwasher so you can clean them after strawberries. The plastic may stain?

Strawberries would work well in these containers. It might stain, but I have not had any problems with staining the past two years I have used them.

I think so, and there are several sizes you can choose from. I have not tried to use them with "liquid" ingredients, only dry, so don't know if they will stain

Yes. It is a very handy tool for fruits 2-5 inches width. The little cups that you can add to the sides will hold the smaller fruit.

I use them for that purpose too, but it depends on the requirements of the plant. Look up the recommended balance of nutrients and if they are in line with with a 4-4-4 plant food then they will work.

I haven't tried any of the small seeded berries, but there are instructions in the 'recipe booklet' for steaming them. It should work as long as you don't mash the berries after or while they are cooking. (You aren't supposed to mash any of the fruit while it is in the steam...unless you are intentionally trying to get some of the pulp.)

In my opinion, no. I do think these would be quite strong enough to risk that. Don't know if your jars are glass or what, but still these are very small magnets. Bigger ones should do the job, but you'd just have to experiment with that and it would depend on how you attach them to the jars, etc.... The small ones are the only kind I've used.

Just checked the hole size, and found the hole to be about 1/2" in diameter. I guess small blueberries would go thru but not the big ones that are sometimes found in the container. Hope this helps.

Yes! I recently used the bowls to melt chocolate (microwave) for chocolate covered strawberries. These bowls are an excellent product and will last forever! Great purchase!!

I was kind of disappointed they are kind of small. The largest doesn't even hold the sugar that my old set did. I love the color and the way they go with things in my kitchen. I use the other two for smaller items like tea bags. I had to find something larger for flour. Hope this helps. They are nice looking and strong containers.

I agree with the others: they would work for little tarts. They are a little smaller than average cupcake tins, so great for richer desserts. I just love these little guys.

To be honest, I haven't tried blackberries, but I would imagine if you used the finest attachment, it should work very well.

Yes, the small lids fit the cups. Be careful though, because if the cups get dropped (or thrown) the lids don't always stay on completely and might leak a little bit. The sippy part of the cup lids also leaks if tipped upside down. Otherwise I love using these to store food. We also use the cups and small lids to carry snacks like berries.

That certainly depends on the size of the fruit slices :) but I think there should be no problem. The cap opens fully and leaves a pretty wide opening so I think it will work for you. I've been very pleased with this product.

We use them in our lunch boxes for snacks primarily but have put grapes and blueberries in them as well. I wouldn't put any kind of liquid in them, however. We have tried strawberries and pears in them but some "juice" did leak out.

I use mine to rinse quinoa and it works great for that. I don't know how fine Strawberry are so I'm unsure how it would work for that.

I bought the very small ones. They most definitely strong enough to possibly plant herbs in. Strawberries need much more soil to grow. However, I would plant herbs in them.

I have not used them for cut-up fruit and find that my strawberries will last for up to 2 weeks in these if I simply wash them and leave them intact, including the green little leaves at the top (in other words, do not hull them) until I am ready to use them

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.
