Product Information

Overall, we thought these were well worth the price considering the high craftsmanship and sturdy materials. In fact, there was no chipping or breakage when we accidentally dropped a container on a granite countertop. In our wide range of food storage, you’ll find lunch boxes and food containers that are both freezer friendly and microwave safe. The cheapest glass to produce is likely all around you: Untreated soda-lime glass is used to make jars, bottles, and cups. If your glass container doesn’t say it’s tempered or strengthened, it’s probably untreated or just regular old glass. But that isn’t necessarily a bad thing; for storing food in the fridge or at room temperature, soda-lime glass is fine. It’s when you freeze or heat the glass that you want another option. Tempered glass is soda lime glass that has been heat treated to make it more durable and heat-resistant. It's safer than untreated glass because if it does break, it crumbles rather than breaking into shards, so there's less likelihood of injury. Compared to untreated glass and borosilicate glass, tempered glass is much less likely to break when dropped or hit against something. You can freeze foods in glass containers. If you allow room for expansion and temperature change (don’t place a frozen glass container in a hot oven), it’s perfectly safe to store glass containers in the freezer.

How you plan to use your glass food storage containers will affect which sizes you choose. Whether baking a family-size lasagna or storing tiny portions of baby food, glass food storage containers can range from 1 cup to 7 cups, so you can find a size to fit any storage need. Usable up to 400 degrees, the compact bag can cook food in the oven, in the microwave, and on the stovetop. It can also be stored in the freezer and cleaned in the dishwasher. Since it's made with platinum food-grade silicone, it's designed to keep food fresher for longer while sealing in smells through an airtight seal. Simply fold the bag and squeeze it to secure it.This set is quite the bargain, offering 10 containers and 10 lids at an affordable price. The containers performed excellently on our leak test and kept food fresh in the fridge and freezer—there was no freezer burn or other food degradation during use. Katherine Gallagher, associate commerce editor at The Spruce Eats and author of this roundup, also participated in testing items on this list. In addition to more than 10 years of experience in the food and beverage industry, she has also written about sustainable living.

Mason jars are great for food storage because they are cheap, leak-proof, easy to transport, and don’t take up a lot of space in the refrigerator. You may think glass storage is just for use in the home or for storing leftovers, but there are a wide variety of options, including lighter-weight glass containers designed for taking lunch on the go. On the other hand, heavier glass containers are often treated to withstand high and low temperatures without breaking; these are a lifesaver for baking and freezing. An eye-catching set of storage containers makes meal prep a little bit more enjoyable—and this set of eight (four containers and four lids) from Bentgo is undeniably attractive. It comes in two colorways, white stone and coastal, but we gravitated towards the white stone since it blends in seamlessly with all types of kitchen decor. The quality of the materials: We recorded any stains and odors from foods like curry or tomato sauce and how effectively we were able to remove them. Likewise, we asked ourselves if we'd be comfortable traveling or commuting with the containers based on their weight and size. We also recorded any chips in the glass or damage from the microwave, dishwasher, or oven. We loved these containers for storing leftovers and fresh produce. The containers aced our leak test, and we were pleasantly surprised by how well they performed in the freshness test. Our food was reheated evenly in the microwave, and overall the containers were sturdy and easy to clean.

1. Best meal-sized container

They are full of fiber, naturally gluten-free, and help your digestive system work better. 2. Plant-based milk This set of six glass storage containers, plus lids, is perfect for stashing leftovers, whether it’s meat and vegetables from dinner or leftover chopped vegetables from salad prep. The set includes three different sizes: 2 cups, 4 cups, and 7 cups, so you can choose just the right size no matter what needs to be stored. The containers are made from tempered glass that can be used in the freezer, microwave, and preheated oven so you can stash the food for later or reheat it without having to transfer it to another bowl. We gave high marks to the set's tempered glass, which can withstand any oven temperature. Rubbermaid Brilliance 8-Piece Glass Food Storage Container Set: These containers kept food fresh and performed well in the leak test. That said, the glass was heavy and the containers don’t nest well together for storage. We also noticed that water was trapped between the rubber seal and the plastic of the lid, making it difficult to dry properly after cleaning.

We love these containers, though we do wish the lids were as well constructed as our Snapware glass containers. That being said we've owned them for nearly 3 years and have put them through the dishwasher dozens of times and they are still working. I cannot live without my daily dose of fruit. My favorites are berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries), which are loaded with antioxidants, rich in fiber, and incredibly nutritious. These containers fit perfectly into Mike’s Stanley lunch box, and they keep his salads fresh all week and clean up great. Both lid and container can go in the dishwasher. We used these containers for about four years. The airtight lids snap shut, preventing leaks. Both the containers and lids are BPA-free and can safely go in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. Joseph Joseph sells a variety of sets and sizes, so you can add more as you go, depending on which sizes you like best. Seeds like chia, flax, pumpkin, sunflower, hemp, sesame, etc., are tiny but full of powerful nutrients.

You can microwave foods in glass containers; there are no worries about chemicals leaking into the food with glass containers when microwaving. Also, I’ve noticed that glass heats food evenly and in less time. Bonus! Storage containers with lids that seal tightly are imperative as this helps to keep your leftovers and other foods fresher for longer. Airtight lids also stop what is stored inside the containers from leaking or their smell from permeating into other food items in the fridge.Many have a rubber gasket that creates an airtight seal. To thoroughly clean the lids, some need to have the rubber gasket removed and cleaned separately. Convenience and time management are two more key factors to meal prepping. Your to-buy list will become much more simple when you know exactly what you’ll be eating and when, plus having a supply of standby meals in the fridge or freezer is a lifesaver during busy weeks when you just don’t fancy cooking. It’ll also save you a ton of money; meal prepping is V budget friendly as you buy ingredients in bulk, which is often cheaper, and you’re using your oven or microwave less!
