Question 1

Are these boxes any different from Tupperware?

Accepted Answer

Buyers need to be very aware of how they use a product like this ... is it used by you only ... only adults in the house ... by young children???  They are light weight yet durable if you use them carefully -- just CAREFULLY, not as though they are fragile.  I am very careful with everything I own so these boxes last for years, and they ABSOLUTELY help preserve foods, BOTH cooked and fresh.  I prefer organic produce so GreenBoxes have saved me plenty of $$$ through the years.  They also freeze well, but be most careful when handling them frozen.  If you drop them, they will crack very easily when frozen.  I get busy and sometimes clumsy as I try to pull things from the frig for quick meal prep and will drop a container that's cold.  I don't have the breakage problem with the cold ones like I do with those that are frozen, but I don't have cement floors in my home either.  I can't imagine wasting money on other plastic ware when this stuff works so well.  I just hope the company starts selling the boxes grouped by size in addition to a set.  I find I need more of the small ones than any others, and I don't have room to store all the extra that comes in a full set with all sizes.  Just a thought :-)

Question 2

How do these ultra light boxes compare to the "standard" green boxes in the 74 piece set?

Accepted Answer

I personally like these better than the standard ones because these UltraLites nest inside each other. They take up very little room when stored, they're translucent, and they also stack very neatly in the fridge :) I love them for my tidy lifestyle, try them out!

Question 3

Has anyone used these for cut up veggies i.e. celery, carrots, red peppers?

Accepted Answer

I love them! I put all my veggies for my salad in them. I cut up peppers, onions and they last a long time being fresh and crisp. I store my mushrooms in them and they stay so fresh. I highly recommend them. They are better than storage bags.

Question 4

Do the boxes become less effective with each use?

Accepted Answer

I have been using the green bags and I understand your question about them becoming "less effective."  The bags DO become less effective after about 20-30 uses.  I have just bought the boxes because there was no comment on the reduction of effectiveness.  I'm hoping they last even longer because I am tossing out my numerous other containers that have seen better days but did not DO what I am expecting these to do!
