WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE TELLING US

“I have several of these containers and they are just brilliant. Food definitely keeps fresher longer. Things like slices of pate don’t discolour quickly, and if you are marinading with strong garlic type ingredients the smell stays in the container, rather than wafting round the fridge and tainting other food. I love the colour coding and the date dial – very useful for commercial kitchens.”   Lesley Ward, Fine Food Consultant

“I am delighted with my Pac ‘n Vac boxes. They really do keep food completely fresh for longer, which means a big saving on our family budget.”   Alison J, Designer, Horsham

“A great food storage system and a real step up from previous boxes. Everything keeps and looks a lot fresher. I would definitely recommend them to other keen cooks.”   Hilary T, Richmond upon Thames
