Use the rectangular-shaped container for storing anything from leftover lasagna, veggie sandwiches, or shredded cheddar cheese to slices of homemade bread, savory crackers, chocolate brownies, and more. From the refrigerator to the cupboard, the canister provides an exceptionally versatile food-storage solution.The canister's hard sides also makes it a smart choice for crush-free storage of delicate items, such as fresh strawberries or green salads, and its durable, clear base allows for viewing contents at a glance. Even more, the canister provides a low-profile design, which helps save on space in the fridge, and its secure-latching lid keeps the canister sealed air tight.Vacuum-Sealing Latch-On LidThe 2-quart rectangular canister's innovative lid features an air-removing hose that attaches to any FoodSaver vacuum sealing system (machine not included). To vacuum seal, simply add food to the canister, secure the latch-on lid, and connect the lid's removable hose to the vacuum sealing system. The vacuum sealer will automatically remove all the air inside the canister to create a stay-fresh, airtight seal. To remove the lid, push down on the lid's vacuum-release button and unlatch the lid.Includes Cheese GraterA rectangular-shaped cheese grater comes included. The grater fits flat on top of the canister, allowing for easy cheese shredding right into the container. The cheese grater features a white frame with a loop handle for easy insert/removal and a durable metal blade surface with two grating surfaces: one for shredding (ideal for shredded cheddar on taco night or piles of mozzarella for homemade pizza) and one for shaving (sensational for finely shaved parmesan or other hard cheeses).Store-bought shredded cheese offers convenience, but costs more and goes bad quickly. Purchase blocks of cheese and shred at home for the same convenience at a lower cost--and with the added benefit of vacuum sealing between uses for prolonged freshness. The canister and grater combo make it easy to shred and store--all in one.Keeps Food Fresh up to 5x Longer -- Save up to $2700 a YearAs always, the FoodSaver system keeps your food fresh up to five times longer compared to other storage methods (like zipper bags, foil, plastic wrap and plastic containers) and helps you save up to $2700 a year by buying food in bulk, purchasing on-sale food items, and not having to worry about freezer burn or wasted food.BPA-Free MaterialThe 2-quart rectangular canister is made of BPA-free plastic that's both stain resistant and odor proof for reliable performance from one use to the next.
