For anyone who likes bacon, the bacon trash can is specially designed to properly store leftover grease. It surprises them. This is better than using a glass jar because it has a filter on the top that separates the oil from other food particles. In turn, it can keep the fat fresh and make it easier to use for cooking in the future. Another smart storage solution to be added to the list is Avocado Keeper by Prepworks by Progressive. You might think that avocados can only be kept for a few hours and then turn brown after being cut, but this handy gadget can keep you fresh for a few days and is a more sustainable option than using plastic packaging.
"It works like a charm," one user wrote. "I have kept an avocado in the [fridge] for three days and it is as fresh as when I opened it.".
