This storage container comes with a drainboard attached, so you can use it to drain excess water from ingredients. On the other hand, this 4.0 liter capacity sealed storage container allows you to fill it with water in order to keep ingredients fresh. Preserve the moisture and freshness of eggplant, cucumbers, and other such summer vegetables. Store long celery sticks, pre-cut cabbage, cilantro, onions, chives, and so on. Remove the drain board and use it as a large capacity storage container for making pickled vegetables in the refrigerator. Not safe for microwave or dishwasher use.
