Shopping for a replacement?
She advises going with glass food containers because they last longer.
“We replace ours annually.
Wood cutting boards, especially, can decline in quality quickly if they aren’t properly cared for.

Counts says that fryer baskets also take a beating in the kitchen.
“We typically replace them every year to year and a half.
He suggests replacing them every six months or so.
