It doesn’t hurt that they’re more sustainable and better for the environment than their plastic counterparts, too. And right now, they’re nearly 20 percent off. To buy: $30 (was $37); amazon.com. The set of glass containers has more than 23,000 five-star ratings, many of them from shoppers who appreciate that they’re truly airtight thanks to internal rubber gaskets and hinged-locks on the lids that prevent spilling. They’re made of borosilicate glass (a type of glass that reacts really well to a quick change in temperature), can be transferred seamlessly from the freezer to the microwave without cracking, and are dishwasher safe. Of all these features, shoppers rave the most about the leak-proof lids, how durable the containers are, and how much they enjoy making the switch from plastic to glass. “I was looking for something like this for quite some time,” one shopper wrote. “Plastic is [outdated] for my needs and liking, so I turned to glass and am so happy I did. No more stains on the bowl, no more mismatched lids; they all lock in place securely with a rather nice gasket. These are just the right sizes for lunch boxes and leftovers for smaller portions… I will never go back to a plastic set again. I am hooked. The lids may be plastic, but [they] are very great quality.”
