Awesome to make super salads on the go!
I am very impressed with this product. Almost every day I make a large salad using many toppings. I originally was using pie plates to pre-make these salads because it allows enough space to fit everything AND to toss it. However, it was difficult to bring salads to work for lunch, and then I found this awesome to-go salad set!
When I first unboxed it, I was concerned it seemed smaller than it looked online, and that my typical salads would not fit. However, the depth of the bowl and topping compartment makes up for the square area. Everything fits. One can comfortably fit 3 ounces of greens in the bottom compartment. 4 ounces will also fit, but you will have to pack the greens a little. I pack the topping compartment quite full and strategically, but I do not have to squish anything to close it. In the picture the compartment is holding, 3oz of salmon, 1 boiled egg, 1 Roma tomato, half of a carrot, 1/4 cup cucumber, 1/8 cup daikon, red onion, and 2 Tbsp capers. The dressing compartment holds a significant amount, somewhere between a 1/4-1/3 cup. Do be careful not to overfill it as the lid will not seal properly. You can easily tell when putting the lid on if you have overfilled it. I also really love how the setup allows you to keep the toppings off the greens until you are ready to eat it, so the greens don't get soggy. When it comes to tossing the salad, it's still great. I personally like to pour my dressing on the greens alone and toss, then I sprinkle all my toppings on. From there, depeding on the salad, I can toss a corner at a time or the whole thing without worry of something flying out of the bowl. The fork that comes with this actually works quite well. Normally I cannot stand to eat with plastic but this fork is quite sturdy, and very good at stabbing at a salad. The compartment where the fork is kept also has room to put a napkin and/or happy note. The product's packaging is clearly marked as BPA free (many sellers on amazon lie about this).
Small Cons:
(1) Sometimes when the lid is off, the clear plastic cover that goes over the fork has trouble staying locked in. The fork stays fine.
(2) Product is dishwasher safe, however, the lids must be hand washed to prevent damaging the seals.
