Product Information

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. Amanda McDonald, commerce editor at The Spruce Eats, has been writing and editing food, wellness, and recipe content for seven years. She tested the Caraway Storage Set in her tiny NYC apartment, using it to store Greek yogurt, beans, tofu, and more.

Tempered Glass: This is heat-treated to handle more temperatures and breaks into small pieces. It’s used in various products, including some food containers. 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.Invest in meal prep containers that will last for years and will stand up to a little roughhousing and the occasional tumble. Additionally, make sure the material is sturdy enough to handle the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. 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. One thing is for sure, you definitely don’t want a meal-prep container that’s going to leak if you plan on taking it with you to work. No one wants to open their handbag after a long commute to find their laptop is now covered in tomato pasta and their planner is smeared with hummus. Containers like these air-tight ones from Joseph Joseph are ideal, plus the variety of sizes means you can take one for a starter, one for your main and one for pud (yay). 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.

We tested 20 sets of glass containers by integrating them into our kitchen routines in real-world conditions. We also did a series of standard tests for continuity across all the products we tested. they keep your food fresher- no smells or tastes absorb into your food the way they can from plastic meal prep containers. Untreated Glass: This is common and used for jars, bottles, and cups. It’s fine for fridge or room temperature storage but not ideal for freezing or heating. These sturdy containers are also pretty heavy. While we found they are great for home use, they might be too heavy for taking meals on the go. The set performed great on the leak test—spilling not even a drop of water!—but we were disappointed during the freshness test when peeled and pitted avocados were noticeably brown after three days. The containers were easy to clean, didn’t retain odors or stains, and were of great quality for the price point.
