I have been trying to find a salad crisper that actually works. I bought this one and tried it a couple of times without any satisfaction. It kept my romain lettuce dry but not crisp. I was originally using a large container that I purchased from the dollar store and will be going back to using that. It keeps it dry and crisp for a very long time and it only cost $1.oo. Save your money and don't waste your time buying this item.
