New Product Cuisinart 4-in-1 XL Expandable Prep and Serve Tub

The scoop

If you’re tired of juggling multiple containers for your summer picnics and BBQ prep, Costco has a clever solution that’ll make your life easier. The Cuisinart 4-in-1 XL Expandable Prep and Serve Tub is one of those simple products that makes you wonder why you didn’t think of it yourself.

This versatile container expands from a compact size to accommodate larger quantities, making it perfect for everything from prepping vegetables to serving salads at your next gathering. It includes multiple compartments and a colander insert, so you can wash, prep, and serve all in one container. The expandable design is genuinely practical—not just a gimmick.

The quality feels solid for what you’re paying. The plastic is BPA-free and dishwasher safe, which is honestly a must-have feature for anything food-related. The only downside is that it does take up a fair amount of cabinet space even when collapsed, so if you’re working with a tiny kitchen, keep that in mind.

Bottom Line: This is a smart addition to your kitchen arsenal, especially with summer entertaining season in full swing. It won’t revolutionize your cooking, but it’ll definitely streamline your prep work and reduce the number of dishes you’re washing—and that’s a win in our book.
