Having the right tool for the job is an essential aspect of cooking. One look in most any kitchen drawer will confirm as much; they are often cluttered with a horde of cooking implements. One option for keeping long-handled pieces out where they can be easily reached is the old-fashioned crock jar. For some, that unorganized look just won’t do, but there is another solution.

Hot dogs have a way of hanging around the fridge, bacon not so much. However, if for some reason you find yourself in need of pork product storage, these Hot Dog and Bacon Keeper Stay Fresh Storage Containers are here to help. The dishwasher-safe containers are specially designed to hold either a pound of bacon or a 10-pack of hot dogs. Safe for freezer or refrigerator use, the “airtight†storage containers appear to be sold individually. Not surprisingly, it looks like the Bacon Keeper is on sale for a reduced price, while the Hot Dog Keeper seems to be on backorder.
Pickle forks and long fingers aside, digging out elusive ingredients from a liquid-filled jar can be a pain in the neck. (Or wrist as the case may be.) Chances are, trying to retrieve the pickle you want only results in a vinegary mess on the countertop. Until they start making pickle jars with strainers for easy access, additional equipment will be needed.
Affordable and convenient, the Klip It Round Food-Storage Containers with Bonus Strainers make it easy to store everything from pickles to leftovers. Available in a 23-ounce or a 33-ounce size, the storage containers seal tightly and are made from BPA-free plastic. Freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe.

It’s hard to consider an Eggo as something necessary to take extra steps to protect, but then again, when you get your hands on one it’s apparently hard to leggo. While a well-designed marketing catch phrase may have increased Eggo paranoia for all time, usually concern for the frozen waffles doesn’t extend to the freezer. The Helman WSC-054 Eggo Waffle Storage Container would like to change that. While it may not come with a catchy slogan, the storage container for the freezer saves space while keeping the precious waffles safe and sound in an airtight environment. Frost-free Eggos can finally be yours. (Or for whoever gets ‘em first.)
Making a homemade salad dressing is easy enough: just select some ingredients and shake it up. Except it is not so easy when all that oil and vinegar splashes to the floor due to improperly sealed containers. As much as cutting corners is a time-honored kitchen tradition, sometimes it just doesn’t make sense; especially when there are alternatives available.

Homer Simpson, the sage of a generation said, “You don’t win friends with salad.†While this sentiment might be all well and true, perhaps it is time to consider the salad dressing as the source of all the missed connections. After all, the stuff you find in a bottle at the supermarket in no way compares to homemade. The problem is, while it may be easy to whip up a batch of oil and vinegar, storage and serving usually requires a little more effort.
