Containers for fruit/veg etc
Hey ho, folks!
Merry Christmas! I have been making lidded pots for garlic and onion for a while now. I put holes top and bottom and shape them like garlic or onion. Silly, but fun. What I am wondering is what other kinds of fruit/veg can keep better in lidded pots. Glad for any input, and especially photos or videos of what you are suggesting. Marianne |

Marianne How about ginger root, mushrooms, and potatoes? Sandi Also smaller fruit - tangerines, lychees, nuts etc, could look good in a purpose designed container without the lid? Not sure about the keeping properties though. Susie -- Susie Thompson If you can't stand the heat, don't tickle the dragon! to email me, replace deadspam.com with susiethompson.co.uk |

well i guess most all fruits & veggies? imagine a BIG bowl & BIG lid
with holes like a colandar? the concept i think is to let air flow thru & not trap moisture. ~ some products just need a sales pitch to sell so make what looks like fun & make up a story to go with it. see ya steve On Dec 21, 7:43*am, Susie wrote: In message . com, Red Deer writes Bubbles_ wrote: Hey ho, folks!

Another possibility is onions. I used to have a wire basket hanging
from a beam in my kitchen and it's purpose was for storing onions. Problem is that when one of my 6 footer family member hit it, I'd have little pieces of onion skin falling on the floor. But you could make it like a medium sized, open bowl (kind of like a colander but deeper and not as wide). It would probably also work as a fruit bowl, with or without a pedestal.

We keep Potatoes in a old Bread Crock I made a few years back, we also keep
some root vegetables in the same pot including Onions, but they don't stay there for long 'cos we eat 'em!
