In this note we discuss how the saturation I X J, where I, J are k-complete ideals on a regular uncountable cardinal K, depends on the saturation of I and J. We show that if 2k = k+ then the saturation of I X J is completely determined by the saturation of I and J . A consequence of a negative saturation result is that NSk X NSk is not k+-saturated, where NSk is the nonstationary ideal on k (even though it is still open whether NSk can be K+- saturated). We also discuss the preservation of precipitousness under certain products, obtaining a simple example of an ideal on k that is precipitous but not k+-saturated.
