Default The Smart Lidz suck!!!!

Well, I had to try them out for myself and I am glad I did.

When they say something is too good to be true, I will believe them from now on. The premise was a good one. You saw my video. It does make a pressurized seal. It really does. BUT THE SEAL DOESN'T LAST.

Oh it lasted for two days. But once you take it off and you see the rippling, you have to hold it under hot water to make it smooth again.(Who wants to keep doing this??).

I wouldn't mind, if the darn thing kept the seal. But I went to the fridge and the seals were just sitting on top of the bowls, NOT DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. I said to myself: "Oh, fooey" (didn't use the word fooey, believe me).

And the best is the little lid. The infomercial says 'use it on metal, plastics, ceramic bowls."

So I opened up a can of mushrooms. (using my One Touch) which doesn't leave any jagged edges, right??. So I placed the seal on top of the can, pressed down and the whole thing cut the seal right through. I said 'how can they say use it on metal, when the metal cuts right through it.?"

THEN, I took one of the medium seals, and tried to seal a bowl of salad.
I pressed down and instead of hearing the WHOOSH of the pressurized seal, it felt air. That's right, there was a tiny hole.

So I have exactly two lids left. I'll still use them, but today I went to the ninety nine cents store, bought 3 bowls with pressurized lids, and they store my foods just fine.

So don't waste your money.

On to the next gadget!!!
