FoodSaver Designer Canisters are both functional and attractive
and an excellent way to store delicate items in the refrigerator,
pantry, or on the countertop. FoodSaver Designer Canisters
cannot be stored in the freezer, and unlike the Bulk Storage and
Square Canisters, cannot be used in the microwave. The bases
can be put in the dishwasher for cleaning. However, do not put
the lids in the dishwasher.
