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.
