- Is this container oven safe?
- Most glass containers of this type are oven safe, but check the lid and any base markings. Lids usually must be removed before oven or microwave use.
- Can it go in the freezer?
- Usually yes, but leave headroom for food to expand and let it thaw before reheating. Avoid moving it straight from freezer to a hot oven.
- Does the lid leak?
- A snap or gasket lid on this type of container generally holds for sauces and soups, but it is not fully leakproof for tipping or shaking.
- How much food does 1 liter hold?
- About 4 cups, enough for two to three servings of leftovers or a small bag of rice or grains.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- The glass is, and most lids are rated for the top rack. Hand washing the lid helps the seal last longer.
- How does it compare with plastic containers?
- It is heavier and costs more, but it won't stain, warp or hold odors and can go from fridge to oven.
- Where is the 4 Cup Square Glass Food Storage Container with Lid cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $22.16, as of our latest check.
