- Is the lid leakproof enough for soup or dressing?
- The Truelock flaps clamp the lid down on a gasket, which holds better than a plain snap lid. It is fine for most liquids in a bag, but it is not a sealed jar, so keep very runny foods upright.
- Can the glass base go in the oven and microwave?
- Yes, the glass base is made for microwave and oven reheating and can go straight to the table. Do not put the lid in the oven, and let the glass cool before washing to avoid thermal shock.
- Is the lid dishwasher safe?
- The glass base washes fine in a dishwasher. Hand wash the lid to protect the gasket and hinge flaps, which wear faster in hot cycles.
- How much food does 2 cups hold?
- About two cups, roughly a single serving of leftovers, a side dish or a lunch portion. It is small for a family meal, so buy several or a larger size for batch cooking.
- Does it stack with other containers?
- The flat rectangular lid lets it stack under another container of similar size. The locking flaps sit slightly proud, so stacks are not perfectly flush.
- Is glass better than plastic for food storage?
- Glass does not stain, hold odors or warp in the microwave, and it is easier to see through. The trade-off is weight and the risk of chipping if dropped.
- Where is the At Home 2-Cup Rectangle Truelock Glass Food Storage Container cheapest?
