Accidents happen (some times a lot in our house). We were also concerned about the covers not fitting, accidents such as dropping a food filled container on the floor and it shattering. This is caused by removing the glass from extreme cold to heat such as removing freezer stored leftovers and placing the container into the microwave or oven (a benefit of most glass storage containers is being able to put them in the oven). Although Snapware had an overall high rating, several bad reviews stated how it was hard to snap on the lids and how some of the tabs ended up breaking off over time.Īlthough it appears to be rare, we decided against glass storage containers because of possible shattering and small sharp chips, and glass splinters. Upon reading reviews we determined that the tabs could become an issue and decided not to go with Snapware. The plastic certainly isn’t as thick as Rubbermaid. When I saw them at Costco I thought they seemed a little flimsy. The Snapware have tabs that snap in place, hence Snapware. We came across Snapware which had pretty high reviews they look cool but did not seem as durable as Rubbermaid easy lids. We decided to trust the manufacturer’s word.

Although the only way to be absolutely sure a product is BPA free is to have lab test conducted. All products researched claimed to be BPA free so that was a non issue. There were concerns about plastic containers warping when exposed to heat like in the microwave or dishwasher.īreakage and BPA were concerns for us as well. No one wants to taste plastic when eating. We were concerned about stains, etching, odors, and plastic taste transfer. We researched different food storage container options including glass. We were happy with our Rubbermaid, but we wanted to explore all of our options. Years of microwaving, dish washing, and freezing, left some of our storage containers looking a little used and abused. We bought two Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids container sets years ago, and they are still in rotation.
Sometimes the lids would pop off in the freezer, some of them warped in the microwave, and sometimes food would stain the plastic. It lasted a while with most containers still usable today.īut we were ready to phase out those old Ikea containers because they were a pain in the neck trying to find lids for. We purchased a set from Ikea once upon a time because it was inexpensive. We had a couple sets at that time, and there was an obvious difference in quality between them.
We decided to buy new food storage containers recently.
