not as useful as I thought they would be. It is an exceptional quality food/fruit organization container to keep food fresh. I honestly havent used it enough to know whether it keeps your food longer or not, but you can serve in this container because it is a well made plastic berry storage..i guess. anyway, no need to return this even though it doesnt fit my kitchen, fridge cabinet all without putting in a lot of effort. I am sure with my love of containers to organize that I can use this for many items and it is a good size
