- Is the Mepal glass container oven safe?
- Mepal glass containers are generally made for fridge, freezer and microwave use. Check the base or lid markings before putting it in a conventional oven, and never heat it with the lid on.
- Is it leakproof for carrying in a bag?
- The lid seals well for fridge storage, but this is a storage container rather than a dedicated leakproof lunch box. For transport, keep it upright and avoid tipping it in a bag.
- Can it go in the dishwasher?
- The glass body is dishwasher safe. The lid is best washed by hand or on a top rack to keep the seal and plastic in good condition.
- How much food does 25 oz hold?
- About 25 oz is roughly 3 cups, enough for a single portion of leftovers, a salad or a batch of sauce. It is not sized for family-size meals.
- Does the glass stain or hold smells?
- No. Glass does not absorb odors or colors, so tomato sauce and curry rinse out clean, unlike many plastic containers.
- Does it nest with other Mepal containers?
- It is a standalone round container. It stacks with similar round Mepal pieces, but it is not part of a graduated nesting set.
- Where is the Mepal Round Glass Food Storage 25 oz cheapest?
- At The Container Store, for $24.99, as of our latest check.
