Rubbermaid TakeAlongs 1-Gallon Containers vs Caraway Glass Airtight Container

Buy the Rubbermaid TakeAlongs for bulk leftovers, party portions and freezer batches: two 1.1-gallon containers with measuring marks and lids that snap shut. Buy the Caraway glass container for pantry staples and reheating, where an airtight seal and glass that won't stain or hold odors matter more. The Rubbermaid is the better value per container and the tougher everyday workhorse; the Caraway is the better single container for freshness and clean reheating.

• Choose the Rubbermaid TakeAlongs if you need large capacity, a two-pack, and containers you can stack, freeze and run through the dishwasher without worry.
• Choose the Caraway glass container if you store flour, sugar or pasta, reheat in the microwave or oven, and want an airtight lid that keeps contents fresh.
