    Love my fridge smarts. I didn't believe they would work so I borrowed one & tested it out. Definitely works with bok choy!!

    I don't use my picnic stuff. I mean to each time the season comes along but I just don't.

    Fridge smarts are constantly in the fridge, we also use the pick a deli constantly for pickled onions or gherkins etc oh and I love my big black cooking thingymajig LOL... You know the one that goes in the microwave then the oven, it's awesome!! The gravy/sauce boat is used regularly too and I have all the cake containers too, they aren't used all the time but they are good to have. The collapsible containers are crappy though!

    My mum used to use the deli pickers for storing tinned beet root. Never stained it.

    Like quite a few others on here I don't use the cake decorator - it looked great in theory but in practice it requires ALOT of icing and it just isn't practical .

    Love my fridge smarts tho and also love my marinating thingies you know the black and clear ones?? I use them all the time mainly for toring and transporting cakes and slices.

    my cheese container. too bulky in the end and you can't mix and match hard and soft cheeses.

    those squishable containers. the lids are impossible, and they dont fully pop out OR in.

    I use most of mine except pick a delis and the meat marinader thingy. Although now since I have a thermomix I don't use my grater either.

    I love my fridge smarts and my red microwave jug and most of the other stuff are modular mates or various storage containers that I use allll the time for everything.

    Oh one thing I don't use is my lunchbox. But I do use the sandwich keeper and drink bottle regularly.

    DH actually said yesterday that it's a good thing I have so much Tupperware as we are moving to the farm and it keeps the mice etc out. I never thought I'd hear those words from him lol. I have loads and loads of containers as I have a thing about putting everything in a container. I can't even eat chips out of a packet they have to in a bowl or container. Weird I know but it keeps Tupperware happy lol.

    I don't have much so use it all - love my pick a deli as often buy olives in bags from farmers market and that makes it easier.

    The cheese thingy is too big you are right, I have a French friend who has a half size one they did in France but not over here, she loves it - I wonder if they come up on eBay?

    Tupperware obviously thinks we all have humongous fridges over here, maybe with smaller houses becoming more popular necessary might see some different ranges.

    i love my tupperware! i use my pick a deli for beetroot.

    i don't use my fridgesmart thingy for lettuce very often - not because it doesnt work, it does really well - but because our fridge is just too small.

    Pizza in a jelly ring.

    Sit mould on bench upside down, so the large seal is facing up. Take seal off (leave the cone shaped seal on) and spray with cooking oil. Place grated cheese around the bottom, then do layers of your favourite pizza toppng. I just sprinkle what I want around. Get bread and cut off the crust, then smear pizza sauce onto each slice. Cut slices in half, or so they are wide enough to fit between the outer and inner moulds then layer the bread, so each piece is just overlapping the one before.

    Get the grated cheese and repeat. I usually do three layers in total, and you must finish of with bread. It also is beneficial to have the last layer slightly higher than the rim of the mould as you need to squash it all down to make sure the moulding works. Place the large seal back on, and with the large seal on the bottom place in the fridge for about half hour.

    Warm up oven to 180c. When you are ready to cook, place back on bench with large seal facing up and remove the seal. place a baking tray over the mould and flip it, so the cone seal is now facing up. remove the cone seal, then remove the outer mould slowly.Place in oven for approx 20 mins.

    The only thing we don't really use is a big salad bowl we got in a freebie pack. It's too big for us for everyday use. Plus it's ugly! Really not a fan of bright orange!

    The big pick a deli isn't used as much as the smaller ones, but it does get used if big tins of beet root are in special lol

    Our pantry is nothing but modular mates...
    The marinating containers aren't used for marinating often (one is but the other two arent). We find them a fantastic size (the bugger ones) for storing larger cakes/scones, or to use for freezing pastries. DH is cooking sausage rolls this arvo towards dd birthday so they will get stashed in one of those in the freezer...

    We got rid of pretty much anything we font use before we moved

    We have stacks of Tupperware, DP is as big a fan as I am. The only thing that doesn't get used is the collapsible containers. A friend gave me all of her Tupperware when she went overseas and these are the only thing from her stash we haven't used.

    Rock n serve, all the various kids' stuff, Fridgesmart, sandwich keepers, measuring cups, sifter, little funny utensils, it all gets used here.

    I still have a bag of stuff from when I was a demonstrator that I don't use.

    My fav thing though - that when it was released for the very first time I thought who would pay $65 for THAT (I got 2 free) is the speedy chef. OMG I will never beat cream again - even in my stand mixer I tend to curdle it. 20 seconds in this and bam it's done. I love love love it.

    Happy chopper (with draw string) another fav and the fridge smart. I use a few modulars too

    I don't use the serving trays I got or the shake it quick since they changed the measurements on it - I still use my old one.

    What Tupperware don't you use?

    I have bought all my tupperware from op-shops or garage sales, but only plain old square containers, or big cake containers (have an enormous square one, its probably 40cm square at least), both square and round. I have been to a few tupperware parties, but never could see the sense in buying new tupperware, it just seems so expensive.

    I had a lettuce container, which hardly got used, so got rid of that.
