What customers love about Food Huggers

Here's what shoppers have to say:
  • These silicone caps fit snuggly and keep food fresh for longer
  • They are easy to wash and maintain
  • They are convenient for covering small items like lemons or limes
  • They have been proven to keep onions and tomatoes fresh for extended periods of time

Cons
  • The sizes of the Food Huggers are limited and may not fit all sizes of fruits and vegetables.
  • The product may create a seal with limited air flow, potentially causing the food to become mushy or develop a film within a few days.
  • The product may not be as stretchy or malleable as expected, and may not seal wrap any item unless it is the exact size of the product.
  • The silicone covers may be rigid and difficult to use, potentially resulting in bruised or browned produce.
  • The Food Huggers may not effectively seal out odors from onions, and the odor may be difficult to remove from the Huggers even after cleaning.
  • Plastic wrap may be a better alternative for preserving leftovers without leaving odors in the refrigerator.
  • The Food Huggers may not always be the correct size for fruits and vegetables, and may not be dishwasher safe without catching water.
  • The Huggers may not grip or fit properly on various fruits and vegetables, potentially mushing the produce.
  • The Huggers may not effectively maintain the freshness of onions, eggplant, and avocado, and may only work well with bananas.
  • The silicone material of the Huggers may be rigid and not stretch, limiting their usefulness for sealing objects of different sizes and shapes.
  • The Huggers may not prevent food from spoiling overnight, and leaving the food on the counter may be a better option.
  • Some customers may have received a set with fewer Huggers than advertised.
  • Although the Huggers may not be suitable for use as lids, they may still be useful for other purposes.
