Review: U·Konserve Container for Family Travel Orginization

By July 23, 2014August 31st, 2017No Comments

U·KonserveHiking is a project when you have a four-year-old. Out in Colorado where I live, the trails can get steep and the brutal sun makes 80-degree days feel like 100-degree days. It is important to make frequent stops for water and have an adequate amount of snacks ready to go in case of a hunger emergency—which of course can take place in intervals of five minutes if you have any children under the age of six.

To make our hiking trips as smooth as possible, I load the backpack up with water bottles and healthy finger foods such as raisins, grapes and cucumbers before we set out. On our most recent excursion, we had the pleasure of transporting our snacks in a 16-ounce Round Large Container from U·Konserve.

I’m not sure that a 16-ounce container can really be considered “large”, but it did provide ample space for grapes; my son, the grape monster, didn’t finish the entire container in one sitting like he usually does. These receptacles are made from leak-proof stainless steel, and I love the look of them. One of my favorite parts was the bright neon orange top; when my next child is old enough to go hiking, I plan on having this container in several different colors so I can keep each child’s snack stash separated. No more permanent marker on plastic sandwich bags for this family!

When the grapes had finally been annihilated, we found another purpose for our little container from U·Konserve—doggie dish! I had actually forgotten to bring my usual flimsy, plastic Tupperware for the dogs’ water bowl on this hike, and our snack container proved to be the ideal solution for thirsty pups on the go.

With a 3-hour, 2-mile hike under our belts, it was time to head back to the house. After a long day of physical exertion in the hot sun, I found my favorite aspect of the U·Konserve container when we returned home—it’s dishwasher safe! Nothing appeals to a busy mom like something that is safe to reuse and doesn’t need to be washed by hand.

My family was really impressed with our little snack container and plan to use it for all of our hiking and camping trips in addition to school lunches and sporting events.
