Norpro Ceramic Compost Keeper Review

Norpro Ceramic Compost Keeper
Average Reviews:

We bought this thinking it would look better than stainless steel. We love to compost and this pail sure beats keeping a bucket on the counter. However, it is heavy and the handle is poorly made. When you life up the handle it comes off of the clunky clips on the side. This really needs to be redesigned.
We removed the poor handle after the first trip to the compost. The ceramic is not only heavy, but it is also much harder to keep clean that the stainless steel. The ceramic tends to pick up stains which are hard to scrub out. And of course there is always the fear of breaking it.
As long as the filter is kept clean and fresh, the pail emits no odors. Whether you choose stainless steel or ceramic, make sure you buy some extra filters. You'll be happy you did.

In addition to being perfectly sized for collecting food scraps for your garden or municipal composter--from potato peels and carrot tops to egg shells and coffee grounds--this 1-gallon compost keeper from Norpro also offers an attractive look for your kitchen. It features a smoother ceramic exterior in red that's also easy to clean. The tight fitting lid works in concert with an included charcoal filter to keep odors in the pail and not wafting through your kitchen. It also features a sturdy stainless steel handle. It measures 10-1/2 by 8 by 7-1/4 inches (HxWxD). The interior and exterior clean easily with soapy sponge.

Norpro Degradable Compost Bags, 50 Pieces Review

Norpro Degradable Compost Bags, 50 Pieces

This is not a plant-based product, and does not belong in your compost. I looked up degradable versus biodegradable. Degradable plastics are still made from ordinary petroleum-based granules, called nurdles. These raw plastic pellets that are commonly found in our oceans do not contain any additives which helps break down the plastic. While they do break down into smaller particles, chemical residues eventually show up in the food chain and our bodies. The bottom line is that any plastic that is petroleum-based will contribute to the pollution of our environment and has a harmful effect on human and animal health.

This product is legal but inappropriate. Do you want to go green? Get rid of plastics. (If you don't want to stop using the bags you have left, at least recycle them, don't put them in your compost.)
