Keepin’ it Fresh
October 30th, 2007 by Jonathan
Last week, the kind people at Oliso sent me a Frisper Freshkeeper
Basically, it’s a home version of the machines that vacuum pack meats, seafood and other food items. The Freshkeeper comes with ziplock-like bags into which you seal the food. After you clamp the device on the bag, it pokes a hole, sucks out the air and reseals that hole. Pretty neat.
My favorite part of the whole package was the post-it note with “for save-food blog guy” written on it. Wow, succinct and spot-on.
While I’m devising the best way to test the Freshkeeper, I will tell you that it is both cool looking and compact.
I’ll have a full report on it once I’m done with my experimentation.
Feel free to drop me a line if you have an idea on what foods to test. No reasonable requests will be refused (i.e. I’m not going to see how long it takes for a filet mignon to decay).

Jonathan,
Cool site you have here! I like that it is very focused on a very important topic. Regarding the idea above, my only concern would be regarding all the plastic resealing, ziploc involved. Today I am writing a whole post (another one) on the issued of plastics, as part of my Daily Footprint Project.
Will let you know next time I post up pictures of daily food waste. Yesterday I was so good. Only one half of a toast, and two wrinkled radishes . . .

Hey Marguerite,
I was curious about the use of plastic, but supposedly you can reuse each bag up to 20 times. So that’s not too bad.
Please do let me know next time you post photos of your food waste. And congrats on your minimal day of food waste. Keep it up!
