Where to Buy Glass Storage Jars and Containers

The Libbey Set of 4 Storage Bowls & Lid consists of four clear glass storage bowls, each of sixteen ounce capacity, with fitted clear plastic lids that are airtight. The bowls are safe in the microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. You can use them to store tomato based sauces, and fruit preserves, as they won’t get stained by the fruit acids, or use them to store candies, nuts and cookies as well as fresh or dried spices, relish, jams, jellies and preserves. The bowls do not pick up food odors so it is safe to store spices in them. Because they are safe in the microwave and freezer, you can store leftovers in them too.

Libbey is an American brand that dates back to 1888, and this set of containers are made in the USA.

The Libbey 16-Ounce Handled Storage Containers with Plastic Lids set, consists of four glass bowls and four plastic lids with handles (eight pieces altogether). The bowls have a capacity of sixteen ounces and the transparent glass makes it easy to view the contents stored inside. The handles on the lids make it very easy to manoeuvre the containers. The bowls can go in the microwave, fridge and dishwasher (note that these containers do not go in the freezer). It is recommended that you hand wash the lids.

These bowls are great for storing leftovers that you will be eating within a day or two (so they can go in the fridge rather than the freezer). The handles make the containers easier to handle – but note that they take up space, which means you won’t be able to stack them in your fridge, and the handles also get in the way of using these as lunch boxes. If you want a more versatile storage container set, you might be better off with Pyrex, Anchor Hocking, Bormioli Rocco or Luminarc (see in the sidebar for details).

Libbey is an American company but this glassware set is made in China.

The Libbey Vibe set of 42-Ounce Glass Storage Jars, consists of four tempered glass storage jars, each with a fitted glass lid that has plastic fitments to help it seal tight. Each jar has capacity of 42 ounces, and they are essentially pantry jars – they can be used to store dry foods such as rice, cereal, pasta, coffee grounds, tea, candy, lentils, beans and other dry goods. Because the lid is air tight, moisture won’t get in, and you can store items such as sugar and salt in them.

The jars have a sloping shape, which means that you can’t really stack them. However, the modern design means that the jars are attractive enough to be left on display on your kitchen shelf or cabinet, or in your dining room.

These jars are dishwasher safe. Libbey is an American company and these jars are made in the USA.

The Libbey Glass Baby Food Bowl Set consists of eight 6.5 ounce glass bowls and eight plastic lids (sixteen pieces in all).

The bowls are safe in the oven, microwave, dishwasher and freezer. They are ideal for storing baby foods like purees because of their small size, (note that you should be able to sterilize these bowls in hot water as they can cope with oven temperatures) but of course you can use them to store other foods such as pickles, condiments, sauces and even small individual puddings. It is recommended that you hand wash the plastic lids.
