I'd rate Cosori a little higher than random Amazon brands, their stuff seems to be reasonably well regarded. I had a Cosori air fryer and I thought it was better thought-out in terms of design than most of the name brands it was up against at the time.

Also happy with my cosori air fryer.

Might not be what you want to do but I tend to just freeze herbs in a little oil or just make pesto rather than dehydrate excess herbs. Always found dehydrating to kill the flavor.

Vacuum sealing and freezing also works well if you don't want them frozen in oil.

tie them in a bunch and hang it up. It even looks and smells nice. It's not like drying fruit where you gotta go fast or they'll go gross before they dry out.
I live in swampy Florida, where loads of fungus, mold, midges, and other things will ruin anything left to dry, even herbs. I sometimes tape a sprig of rosemary to my monitor as simple potpourri. The sprigs alternately turn powdery white or filthy black depending on what spores land there first. Even when it's indoors with A/C and air filters.

This one? That's a lot better price than I expected.

I have a chamber vacuum sealer and might try that. I don't like freezing them in oil, but a dry vacuum seal might work.

Is there a recommended food storage container brand that’s microwave safe for reheating? We have a pyrex (lower case) set that works well enough, but I might as well check for better options before doubling up on everything.

Oh, and Jones was there too.

Glass Ikea 365 with the plastic lids is what I use. Cheap and cheerful. I have porridge microwaved in it every morning. (They also do glass, and bamboo lids)

Everything I've seen is that as long as it isn't plastic, you're fine. Some family of mine swears by Anchor Hocking, but I'm not sure what the difference is, if any.

I have Snapware and don't like them because the (plastic) lids fail at the "hinge" (which is just a bendy plastic bit). My favorite are some Ziploc branded with green lids, but last I checked, they were discontinued :rip:

this is fine



Anchor Hocking red plastic lids suck. We are down to 0 that haven't cracked beyond use. I am torn between buying replacement lids for $10 or replacing them altogether - I hate wasting the glass bowl portion but also hate giving these assholes replacement parts revenue.

We have Pyrex glass with blue lids that seem like identical designs but the lids last twice as long. Still annoying to replace but not as bad.

My wife and I got Glasslock containers at Costco back in 2010 and they still work like we bought them.

The only damage was I tried to take out the rubber gasket on one and damaged it so that one would leak if I tilted it upside down.


Highly recommended!

I mostly enjoy this because it's a multi-tasker. It does about as well as the type at hotel breakfast stations / my college dining hall, so I suppose it's good enough!
