Product Information

Pyrex is known for its durable yet lightweight food storage that can last a lifetime when properly cared for, and this set is no exception. “Pyrex glass containers are definitely my favorite,” says Talia Koren, founder of the meal planning subscription service and blog Workweek Lunch and author of The Workweek Lunch Cookbook. “They make oven-safe, freezer-safe glass containers that are significantly lighter in weight than other brands.”

Glass can vary in terms of durability, price, and function. Here are some of the most common types of glass you might come across in food storage containers: 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. Most glass food storage containers don't have glass lids but instead use some form of plastic or wood. While most glass is freezer, oven, and microwave safe, it's important to note that many plastic lids are not, so it's essential to consider that when shopping. Glass containers are stain-proof, while plastic tends to stain when storing foods that contain such ingredients as tomato sauce or blueberries. 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.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 love nuts! Full of healthy fats, fiber, and proteins, they are a staple in any healthy diet. My favorites are almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, and cashew nuts.

Our Lab team consists of testers with decades of experience in both professional and home kitchens. In addition to their testing, these sets were sent out to our food and commerce editors who cook and meal prep consistently. 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. Tempered glass is one of the most common and reliable types of glass for food storage because it's affordable, heat-resistant, and the least likely to break when dropped or hit against something. However, borosilicate glass is better if your containers undergo extreme heat changes (namely while cooking and/or meal prepping). You can mash it and eat it on toast, in a sandwich, add it to smoothies or breakfast bowls, or slice it and eat it raw. Nuts Glass containers are a sturdy, low-maintenance option that are dishwasher- and microwave-safe and typically also freezer and oven-safe. Another major selling point is that glass is nonporous, meaning there’s no space to trap odor and bacteria. Glass is also free of potentially harmful chemicals. On the flip side, glass containers are much heavier, fragile, and can be more costly.Glass food storage containers aren't anything new, but there's a reason they've been in kitchen cupboards for generations. And with meal prep becoming increasingly popular, glass food containers are only improving. Zwilling makes high-quality, long-lasting products, and their new glass food storage is no exception. The Zwilling Fresh & Save Set comes with a vacuum sealer, one vacuum-sealable glass container, and four vacuum-sealed reusable bags. The major advantage of vacuum sealing is that it helps keep food fresher for way longer than other storage methods, even ones with airtight seals. The bags are great for long-term storage, especially if you're someone who likes to buy in bulk and keep food fresh for long periods. Repeat, repeat, repeat! Once you've gotten past the first three steps, it's all about practice! Over time, you'll be able to make more recipes with ease, and really develop meal prep as a self care routine.
