The Snapware Glasslock Tempered Glass Storage Containers 18 piece Set with Lids consists of nine containers and nine lids. Here is what you get: two rectangular 0.3 liter bowls with fitted lids, two square 0.4 liter bowls with lids, two square 0.7 liter bowls with lids, two rectangular 0.9 liter bowls with lids and one large rectangular 1.8 liter bowl with a lid. The range in sizes is large enough to meet most needs and this set is ideal to give as a wedding or house-warming gift.

The tempered glass bowls are all dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe. The glass is made of tempered soda lime glass and is not safe in the oven (though you can put it in the microwave). The lids are made of polypropylene (PP), and have a silicone seal so that they are fitted to be airtight. The lids are free of Bisphenol-A (BPA) and have “glasslock” tabs that snap into place (Real Simple did a test storing minestrone for a week in the fridge and voted this brand best for leftovers thanks to the way the tight-locking lid kept food fresh).

The lids can be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher. If you don’t have a dishwasher and have hand wash everything, you might be better off with one of the Pyrex round sets listed in the sidebar as round sets are easier to clean (no hard corners to reach).
