🛠 About the product / Function

This practical potato storage container by Curver is a great example of smart and functional plastic household design from the 1970s. The spacious container holds around 7.5 kilograms of potatoes, making it ideal for everyday kitchen use.

Ventilation slots in the container ensure good air circulation, helping potatoes stay fresh longer and reducing the chance of spoilage. A particularly clever feature is the reversible lid: turn it upside down and it becomes a convenient bowl for peeling potatoes. During peeling, the lid remains stable, whether placed on your lap or on the kitchen counter.

Made from durable Curver plastic, the container is sturdy, lightweight and easy to clean. Besides potatoes, it is also perfectly suitable for storing onions or other vegetables.
