food saver

Leftovers stay fresh

A food saver is a device or container designed to extend the freshness of food, typically by removing air or creating an airtight seal.

The term most often refers to vacuum sealers that extract air from plastic bags before sealing them: I used the food saver to freeze the leftover steak.

More loosely, any storage container meant to keep food fresh longer.
