Guac-Lock Container, Green/White

Usually suspicious of most food storage and kitchen gadget claims, this Casabella Guac-Lock Container was purchased with a slight degree of trepidation even though most of the customer reviews praised it and the video demonstrated it easily enough. Sure enough though, after having filled it twice now full to the brim with the maximum dosage of freshly prepared guacamole, it has performed not only admirably but surprisingly surpassed all expectations. Really! Our first go-round lasted a full 5 days without so much as a tinge of browning avocado anywhere in the container. I fully expected a slight browning on the very top or in the creases at the edge of the silicone seal where it faithfully hugs the inner plastic container. Nope! On the last day, removed the top and ate up all the remainder with no sign of age. Second time through we purposefully left the last of it a full week. I don’t believe we can make it last longer than we can refrain from eating simply because it is so fresh and delicious every time we open the container! The push-up silicon seal that you leverage your guacamole up against the top is easy to push so be careful. The top of the container seals equally well, snug, but is easy to open as the latches keep the top securely in place and sealed perfectly. The top latch which secures the air hole gets snapped in last (removed first when opening) and there is literally no mess and no fuss using the Casabella Guac-Lock Container. It also cleans up extremely easy in mild soap and water (another beauty of silicone design). Easy to use, easy to operate, easy to assemble and disassemble, and easy to clean; and it works as advertised, maybe better; what more can you ask for a kitchen contraption? If you love guacamole and hate the hassle of having to make small amounts to avoid waste and food loss, this Guac-Lock Container is just what you need. We have not one single complaint about any aspect of this product, in fact, find it highly praiseworthy. It is simply a terrific new “invention” for a specialty group of foodies. Guac On!

A superb item that preserves guacamole perfectly - once one knows how to use it!

Pros: It effing works. I’ve had this avocado in there for at least a week and there’s no brown, fresh as the day I accidentally squished it and had to open it. Guac-Lock to the rescue! Cons: Not great for small quantities and can’t handle more than 3 avocados at once so there’s a sweet spot but this isn’t for anything outside that range. They should make one for bigger quantities *hint hint* Pro-Tip: Place green bottom in where you approximately need it (go lower than you expect since you can’t fill then push the green down if you run out of room - rookie mistake), gently fill (don’t mix your guac ingredients here), snap lid on with top piece open, place on white base and gently push down (even pressure) until all the air is out and guac is flush with the top, remove from white base and then close the top piece. Once that’s done you can store In the fridge on the white base and enjoy guac for longer than 15 min before it’s brown soup.

I love avocados, and hate having to throw them away when I've missed the window to eat them. I'm lazy and don't like to have to go to the grocery store every few days, so I usually buy those bags with about 6 small ones in them, and then wait for them to ripen. If I'm lucky, they don't all ripen at the same time so I can take my time eating them, but there are occasions when they're all ready at once and I either have to gorge on them or risk having them rot. I read the reviews for this container and, despite some of the negative ones, I took a chance and bought both a standalone container and the tray/container set. (I figured the cost of the set was just a little bit more than the container itself, so why not?) I'm glad I did and couldn't be happier with the Guac-Lock! I don't make guacamole, just plain avocado. On their own, I found that I can fit about 4 1/2 - 5 of the small avocados in one container, with the rest going in the second container if I don't eat it straight away. I try to get rid of as many air pockets as I can, and there's no browning, with the guac staying fresh for days. There are four pieces to the container, but I thought the instructions were perfectly clear and the container was easy to "operate," wash, and store. It may seem a little silly to get this excited about a kitchen gadget, but this one's a bit of a game-changer for me. And the cost is certainly worth it so there's no more stressing about wasting lovely avos. I feel as if I want to go preach about it to everyone else I know who eats avocados!

I have yet to find anything that keeps my avocado fresher than this! It is a bit of a pain to set up and clean but honestly, it works so I can't complain too much. Just make sure you get all the air out before storing your food in the fridge to maximize the freshness.

This product is awesome to keep the guac fresh for many days.

Worried that this was too good to be true..but it isn’t. Wonderful item. It really does keep the guacamole fresh and the tray is an ideal size for tortilla chips and carrit batons for dipping. We now use this regularly. Delighted with it :)

Me gusta mucho y conserva muy bien el guacamole, y es un plus el plato botanero, a parte lo conseguí a un súper precio.

Works just as described. I heard about this on a podcast and thought I had to have it and give it a try. My only criticism is that it’s big enough to hold enough guac to really need keeping. I guess it’s best if you want to make your guac in advance of a party and have it not spoil.
