Food Hugger Avocado Pit Test: Size Savers Dishwasherable... Surprising Insight

Excerpt: We were intrigued by the Food Huggers Avocado Huggers 2pc Silicone Set and its promise of pit storage—something that truly sets it apart from most savers. The large and small options immediately caught our eye, and we spent a week testing them to see if they lived up to their "dishwasher safe" claims. After storing sliced avocados in both sizes for up to three days, we found the plastic wrap seals tight, preventing browning and maintaining freshness. The containers themselves are flexible enough to grip various avocado shapes effortlessly. The bonus? The pit storage—they slide neatly into the designated holes, keeping everything contained. While ours are labeled "BPA Free," this is standard for modern kitchenware. What surprised us was the ease of cleaning:他们 pop right into the dishwasher, and the flexible silicone ensures no crumbs or residue cling behind. For us, the convenience of size, seals, and pit storage makes this a surprising standout in avocado saving gadgets.
