Check the top of the Harvest Forum. They are having "technical" difficulties. My post is gone too, but will wait awhile to re-post until the all-clear is given.

Wasnt that post in the thread for useless gadgets. I recall that it was to make a square egg and was a plastic mold. Itshould be here from about early July. Maybe their hard drive crashed here and its on an old backup..

Seems like IVillage has been having the problem a lot, lately.

Funny thing, though. It never seems to affect their invasive ads and self-promotions.

Maybe if we picked a day and got everybody to boycot GW on that one day it would force them to become a little more user friendly?

JT, I replied to your post and at least one other, what a pain that GW can't recover them.

I see no reason not to put vinegar in an acrylic jar because reactivity is more a problem with metals, especially stainless & aluminum. You may leach out some plastic molecules, but water will do that too, and you probably won't get as much as you would get microwaving leftovers.

This was sold as a food-safe canister, right? Even though acrylic is generally safe for food, canisters for crafts etc. might be processed with poisonous stuff. Below is a link to an acrylic tupperware pickle jar that I will take as proof that pickles can be stored in acrylic.

Ken is right that pickled eggs were mentioned on another thread, but that was about egg cubers, so if you want to fill your acrylic canister with cubical eggs, you can search up that thread. Dye them with beet juice & no one will guess they're eggs.

Melissa,

Yes, but the sales person did not know about vinegar though.

I did find the importer's address (below), but have already found out the hard way that container may be airtight, but is certainly not leak-proof. Bought a doz quart canning jars and will use them from now on.

More questions on pickling eggs, but will start a new thread later today or tomorrow.

Thanks!

JT, if you like a bigger container, half-gallon jars are available at yard sales. I usually have the best luck with jars at community rummage sales with multiple people's stuff. The half-gallon aren't safe for canning except juice, so the fridge is a perfect place for them.

Half gallon Ball jars are great for my half sours in the fridge, or if I have a lot of left over brines and will use them up in a few days later.
