Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Grip EZ Stainless Steel Compost Keeper
Customer Review: Elegant, attractive, odor free, small
Summary: 3 Stars
If I had to rate this on my own, I'd give it four stars. My wife would give it two, which was not unexpected. Depending on your needs, our issues might not be issues for you, but size and shape are the big limitations.
Oval shaped containers allow you to hold dinner plates over the opening and scrape a plate clean. This one's smaller round opening can make for a potential messier situation unless you are more diligent. I didn't expect any similar item to be able to hold everything compostable such as grease stained pizza boxes, but it would have been nicer not to need to empty this every day or two. For a family of five that composts (or has the city do it for us) whatever we can, it would be nice to have something bigger. But overall, it's nice to have something that looks like it belongs on the counter, and looks good overall. Unfortunately, it keeps getting filled up all the way to the filter.
I've never been able to find a perfect solution, and this was good enough that I was able to sway the household vote toward keeping it. Back in our early days of composting, when the city first started giving subsidized compost/worm bins, this might have been handy and large enough since we did not compost rotting fruits, meats or anything that attracted flies. When the city introduced curb side food waste recycling, they gave us a smallish plastic pail to use on a day-to-day basis and then empty into the larger green bin for pickup. Their free plastic one was a better shape than this, but a big mess. This one is easy to clean, (if you've cleaned stainless pots and pans, you know it's relatively easy, plus nothing gets baked on this so it's even easier) keeps odors out, and closes better than the one the city gave us. The free one didn't last more than a few months before we got sick of it. A large paper bag was a better fit for volume, but a bad way to prevent fruit flies.
Experience has shown me that the more you can reclaim, the more you will find there is to reclaim, but if the size were adequate, then the shape would be my only misgiving. Overall, there's nothing on the market that I can find that I like better, and I still think it deserves four stars even though I am the one who has to empty it.
