Can these containers go from the freezer straight to the oven?

The glass is rated for both freezer and oven use, and borosilicate handles thermal shock better than soda-lime glass. Still, let frozen food thaw slightly and never put a lid in the oven.

Are the lids leak-proof?

The silicone-sealed snap lids hold for fridge storage and gentle transport, but they are not rated leak-proof. Keep soups and sauces upright and avoid packing them sideways in a bag.

Can I microwave with the lid on?

Yes, with the steam vent open. The vented lid lets steam escape and reduces splatter; sealing it fully traps pressure.

What sizes come in the set?

One 10-cup, two 5-cup and two 3-cup rectangular containers, each with its own lid.

Is the glass safe for broiler use?

No. The containers are oven safe to 428°F but not designed for broiler heat or direct stovetop contact.

Do the containers nest when empty?

They stack rather than fully nest, since each has straight rectangular walls. Empty, they still take less cabinet space than round bowls of similar capacity.
