Now, there's a genius cheap kitchen gadget<\/a> that preserves every last bite of that half-eaten avocado.\r\n\r\nThis avocado keeper<\/a> is a compact kitchen storage container designed to store<\/a> leftover avocado\u2014and Amazon reviewers can't stop talking about it. So, I had to try it for myself to see if the product's raves were warranted.\r\n

What is an avocado keeper?<\/h2>\r\nThis compact avocado keeper<\/a> is a dishwasher-safe produce saver on Amazon<\/a> that's specially designed for storing half of an avocado for days, sparing it from turning brown while also sparing your wallet. Not to mention, it beats alternative avocado storage methods, such as plastic wrap or aluminum foil.\r\n\r\nA clear lid snaps onto the airtight, plastic avocado keeper that holds half of an average-size fruit. Once it's sealed, the container prevents air from sneaking in so that oxidation is less likely to occur, which is what causes deliciously green avocados to turn brown. The keeper locks in freshness, keeping avocados in prime condition for making homemade guacamole<\/a> or avocado toast<\/a>. (Speaking of freshness, you need to try the Guac Lock<\/a>, too.)\r\n\r\nThis gadget's affordable price and its easy-to-clean plastic have made it an instant hit\u2014but it's the money shoppers have saved on wasted brown avocados that catapulted the avocado keeper to over 6,000 ratings and a 4.1-star average on Amazon. It's the perfect addition to your collection of produce savers, including garlic keepers<\/a>, potato storage containers<\/a> and onion storage containers<\/a>. Or, add it to any avocado lover's kitchen as a hostess gift<\/a> or a gift for cooks<\/a>.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Prepworks-Progressive-Avocado-Keeper-Snap\/dp\/B00CLFS4HS\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n

Avocado Keeper Product Features<\/h2>\r\nThe avocado keeper<\/a> is as straightforward as can be, and that's certainly part of its appeal. With a bright-green plastic base and a clear plastic lid, this product is made up of just two parts that seamlessly slide together. The lid is fairly deep, and the base is generously sized, so most varieties of avocados can fit inside.\r\n\r\nNotably, this handy little tool is dishwasher-safe, so if some of the flesh of the avocado smears onto the bottom or excess condensation builds up in the lid, simply toss it in with your other plates and bowls.\r\n

How We Tested the Avocado Keeper<\/h2>\r\n\"Avocado\r\n\r\nI'm an avocado advocate, so when I was asked to test this product, I jumped at the chance. They're almost always a part of my meal prep. This week, I made Creamy White Chicken Chili<\/a>, which I top generously with diced avocados\u2014as I do with every southwestern soup. Even as I was pulling the seasonings from my spice storage<\/a> to doctor up my chili, all I was really thinking about was the fresh, creamy green garnish to come.\r\n\r\nAlthough I do place a heaping handful atop each bowl, I still use only about half of an avocado. So, the other half, of course, went into my trusty new avocado keeper for use the next night.\r\n\r\nThe lid slid into the base very snugly, which made me feel confident in the keeper's purported airtightness. Then, I stored it in my refrigerator for the next 18 hours. When I pulled it out, the lid had collected a bit of condensation, so I was delighted to see that my avocado had minimally browned. (If I'd wanted to prevent this further, I could've drizzled a bit of lemon juice over the flesh before storing.) The fruit was still totally edible and primed for that night's soup. Score! This kitchen storage accessory<\/a> is a definite must.\r\n
