In addition to their testing, these sets were sent out to our food and commerce editors who cook and meal prep consistently. 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 Glasslock 18-piece set covers a lot of bases when it comes to food storage and performed exceptionally well in our tests, earning it our best overall award.

There are plenty of options to choose from, and you should factor in your intended purpose for the reusable containers as well as size, lid design, and what's included in a set. A vent on the lid allows you to vent steam if you’ve put hot food in the container or to release pressure if food has cooled and the lid has suctioned on. They’re great for pantry storage since the lids clamp on tight and seal completely to keep pests and dust out, the lids open wide for pouring pasta or snacks, and the wide opening allows a small scoop or measuring cup to fit inside. This fruit, cheese and cracker box inspired by Starbucks' bistro boxes is a fun and healthy alternative to your standard sandwich. The products are manufactured while focusing on individuals who want durable, eco-friendly and easy-to-clean options.

Plastics eventually reach the end of their shelf life and must be replaced, but they are lighter and easier to transport.

Although the glass is heavier than the plastic model (we wouldn't recommend it for those with grip strength or mobility limitations), it's a great set for storing leftovers or meal preps.

We love bento box lunches because the compartments help control portion sizes, and they're great for kids too.

The containers are safe for the microwave and for the oven to 932 degrees Fahrenheit, so they’re great for baking and roasting, as well. 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. Most of its products are designed with leak proof design, making it easy for you to pack a variety of foods without the risk of spills.One of our favorite glass storage options, the Le'raze Glass Kitchen Canisters, are currently available at a deep discount. Performance: We filled each container to its maximum capacity with water, sealed it shut with the lid, shook it for one minute, and noted how much water leaked (if any).
