Where to Buy Glass Storage Jars and Containers

The Luminarc 21 piece Glass Bowls with Lids set consists of thirteen tempered glass bowls with eight lids. The tempered glass makes the bowls shock resistant. The bowls are safe in the Fridge, freezer, microwave and dishwasher. They come in a range of sizes and stack conveniently within each other when not in use. The sizes you get are as follows: three 2.6 ounce bowls, one 4.9 ounce bowl, one 7.4 ounce bowl, two 12.2 ounce bowls with lids, two 20.6 ounce bowls with lids, one 1.2 quart bowl with lid, one 2 quart bowl with lid, one 3 quart bowl with lid, and one 4.5 quart bowl with lid.

In other words you get thirteen bowls and eight lids. As you can see, all the large bowls have lids, the smallest bowls do not as they are meant for use as side bowls, serving olives, pickles, nuts and other condiments, and are not meant for food storage. The large bowls can safely be used as mixing bowls (for instance if you are mixing cake ingredients or making bread) as well as to store leftovers and pre-cooked meals. This set is complete enough to meet all your cooking and storage needs.

Luminarc is French brand, and in this particular set, the lids are made in France and the glass bowls are made in the USA.

The Luminarc fifteen piece stackable glass bowl set with lids consists of ten tempered glass, shock resistant bowls of varying sizes and five fitted air tight lime green lids which are made from plastic. These bowls are designed for food preparation – mixing dough for cakes, cookies, pizza, or for use in marinating food overnight in the fridge in preparation before cooking and so on. The largest bowl is big enough for you to prepare bread dough in it and allow it to rise. You can also use the bowls for setting trifles, blancmanges, jellies and other cold puddings that need to set in the fridge, or for serving tossed salads or fruit salads. The small bowls are great for serving foods like olives, peanuts and other snacks. If you do a lot of cooking and food preparation, this set is a must have because of the range of sizes.

The bowls and lids are safe in the freezer, fridge, and dishwasher. Because five of the largest bowls have fitted lids, you can also use them to store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. When not in use, they can be stacked neatly inside each other and put away in a cupboard.

Luminarc is a family owned French brand which has been making glass since 1825. In Europe, they are licenced to make Pyrex ware, under their “Arc International” division.

The Luminarc set of six 14 ounce working glasses with lids, is a very unusual set of drinking glass tumblers that come with fitted lids. This means you can use them as drinking glasses, but also use them to store jams, preserves, jellies and marmalades (and to set individual puddings such a blancmanges, custards or trifles too). You can also use them to store drinks and cold soups when travelling, thanks to the lids. The fourteen ounce tumblers are large enough to fit snacks in them too.

These working glasses with their ten sided shape are a French icon, dating from the late 1970′s. The design is thick and bulky making them very hard to break. Because the tumblers have a heavy weight and a large capacity, you can serve drinks in them with a lot of chunky ice (ideal for whiskey), and they can also take hot drinks such as tea or coffee. They can go into the fridge and freezer too (with the lids on), so can be used to store small amounts of leftovers. Some people have even used them to hold votive candles. Hence the reason they are known as “working glasses” – they can be made to do an awful lot of things that ordinary glasses cannot.

They also stack neatly on top of each other when not in use. Luminarc is a family owned French brand that is almost two hundred years old.
