The Best Glass Food Storage Containers Of 2022

While glass food storage containers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, they all have at least one thing in common: each one will have a transparent design that makes it easy to determine just what's inside. Glass storage containers also let you prep meals in advance and store leftovers, all without absorbing pungent food odors and taking on stains like their plastic counterparts. Plus, modern glass made by reputable manufacturers will be free of toxic materials, so you can feel extra good about using glass containers to prepare and store food for yourself and your loved ones.

Since quite a few glass food storage containers come in stackable sets, they are also a great way of organizing your kitchen. Aside from minimizing cupboard and refrigerator clutter, sturdy glass food containers can also be used to cook and warm up food in the microwave and oven — well, as long as you remember to take off the lids first.

From small baby food containers to lunch-box-style jars that come complete with silicone sleeves, there's something for you and your household. Here's our list of the best glass food storage containers of 2022.

All too often we can find ourselves with cupboards that are overflowing with stained plastic food containers and an assortment of mismatched lids that never seem to fit the base you're holding. If you're in this predicament, now might be just the right time to invest in a set of quality glass food containers (and pledge to keep those lids organized, while you're at it). While the job may seem as easy as hitting that "buy" button on Amazon, don't be surprised if the sheer number of glass food containers available for purchase leaves you stumped. Just where is a savvy consumer supposed to start?

To help you in your quest to find the perfect glass food storage container for your kitchen, we have looked at hundreds of kitchenware brands, while also reading just about as many community and expert reviews. We also zeroed in on several characteristics that we think make certain products stand out from the rest of the storage container pack. Firstly, we looked at the size and shape of individual components, especially as some container sets offer uniform products while others mix things up. Next, we considered whether the containers are microwave, oven, dishwasher, and freezer safe. Finally, we looked at the quality of each set's lids. After all, the glass base is only half the equation.
