I like cucumbers. I especially like to pickle them. But, occasionally, I'll keep one cucumber to make snacks and salads. But, one drawback is cucumbers don't keep long and you can't freeze them.
While I try storing them in the vegetable bin, it just seems they go bad too quickly.
On 5/28/20, I got a big beautiful cucumber (.415/kg, 43.50 / 18.05).
Now, here I was with 3/4s of a cucumber I wanted to save for more snacks, salads or pickles. Could I find a way to make it last longer?
So, on 5/31/20, while I was washing dishes, I washed out a insulated souvenir beverage container. I sighed. Like many souvenir mugs or beverage containers, I did not often use this container. Do I give it away? No use keeping things you don't use.
Hmmm, would this hold the remaining cucumber? Would it help keep the cucumber fresh longer? Let's try it.
It works. So far, so good, been eating fresh cucumber snacks for two more days, now, and the remaining cucumber is still fresh.
I love the fact the container is compact and does not take up too much space in the frig.
