My Thoughts

I am not typically a gadgety-kinda gal. For instance, I use a stainless steel straw to pit cherries. While I do have a couple of cherry pitters in my drawers, my kitchen elves have claimed them, so I still use a straw. It works fine.

That being said, I am practical. And I despise spending money on ingredients for something that turns bad quickly. So, unless I'm certain I am not going to have leftovers, I usually don't make guacamole. We love it, but I don't like making it, covering the leftovers, and coming back to a bowl of greenish-brown mush. Yuck.

So, when Casabella approached me about hosting a guacmole event, I took a look at what the product was supposed to do: Keep guacamole fresh. For days.

Okay. I'll give it a try.

My first thought when I opened the box: "There are a lot of moving parts to this thing." Remember, I'm not gadgety.

My second thought: "Oh, my goodness, I need to look at the diagram to figure out how it works!"

There really aren't that many moving parts. I just needed to figure out how to seat it so that the rubber sealed against the cylinder correctly. So, once I took a deep breath and figured it out, I washed it, dried it, and got to work with my avocados.

One day I made Holy Mole Guac. Another day I made a different kind - that recipe will be posting soon! And both times I made enough to have leftovers.

I carefully filled the  Guac-Lock™, making sure to expel all the air. Then I locked it down and put it in the fridge.

The boys wanted more guacamole the following day, but I wanted to see how long it would stay fresh and green. So, I told them they could only have one bite each day. Unfortunately, that only got me through four days of testing.

But each day, I was surprised at how fresh and green the guacmole stayed in the  Guac-Lock™. It's fantastic. If you make guacmole, and you have enough for leftovers, you definitely want to give this a try. And, lucky for you, we are giving away a dozen of them. Good luck!
