Glad Mini Round Food Storage Containers 4 oz vs Xmealix Twist Top Food Storage Containers

Buy the Glad mini rounds for dry snacks and portioned lunches; they snap shut, stack, and go from freezer to microwave to dishwasher. Buy the Xmealix twist-top cups if you mainly store liquids like soup, sauce, or pudding, since the threaded lid seals better on wet food. The Glad set has the longer track record and a 4.5 rating from 91 owners; the Xmealix is a lesser-known brand with thin public feedback. Both are BPA-free plastic, but Glad's snap lids are easier for kids and quicker to open.

• Choose the Glad mini rounds if you pack crackers, nuts, raisins, or dips and want small snap-lid containers that stack and survive the dishwasher.
• Choose the Xmealix twist-top cups if you freeze or carry soup, sauce, jello, or pudding and need a threaded lid that holds liquid in.
