Good Grips 3.5 Cup Smart Seal Airtight Glass Rectangle Food Storage Container

It's my favorite container that I've ever bought and I haven't bought any other kinds since. In particular, this size is really nice for about 2 meal servings (as a lunchbox). The slightest drawback is that it's a smidgen heavier than I'd like, but it's definitely not something I notice on an everyday basis. Common to the family of products: the glass seems to be impervious to basically anything WITHIN REASON, the seal is water/oil/airtight (no more plastic wrapping etc), everything cleans beautifully in the dishwasher (like brand new), and the lid clicks perfectly into place every time. It honestly just works so well, whether storing hot or cold foods, keeping it all fresh until ready for usage.

I like to use this for soups. The lid is great quality cuz you can turn the container upside down when closed and nothing will leak. It’s a good size for a big salad or soups/stews with larger solid content too. I use it for my lunches.

I previously used some ello brand containers which didn't use borosilicate glass but instead had silicone wraps to try and protect the bottoms. Well one of those didn't last 10 months before the top edge chipped from a short drop and another was destroyed when I was doing meal prep after putting in some hot food from what I assume was too rapid a temperature change. I've had this container 15 months now and it's still going strong. I've been using it daily for my meal prep and it takes it all. The glass is strong enough it hasn't cracked with some minor drops even on hard surfaces. I regularly subject it to either an oven, an air-fryer, or the microwave and it's withstood them all, even straight from the fridge for reheating. The edges clean much easier than the ello containers I previously used, I used to get little splashes of the contents somehow under the rims during cooking or eating and I'd have to spend a lot of time and effort scrubbing at it, the edges here are cleaner and a simple brush or sponge takes anything that manages to get under the rim on the outside off easily. One tricky thing about these are the lids. Every brand uses plastic, it's unfortunate but I suppose there is no way to get glass to work and seal right. Never put the lid in any heat source, I wouldn't even use the microwave as I damaged a pyrex lid one time doing that and the heat plus pressure changes inside the vessel will weaken and warp the lids with repeat use, lids are for storage only or covering after reheating IMO. Instead in the microwave I'd say cover with paper towels or a plate or plastic wrap. In the oven and air-fryer I cover with aluminum foil and that works great. I was leery at first about the plastic closing mechanisms on the lid, worried they'd break with time and stress unlike the ello container's which had a hinged design where the plastic didn't really bend but so far the lid seems to hold up fine as I don't subject it to heat beyond heated up food in a warm/hot container (no direct heat as mentioned as I never put it in the microwave). I'll continue to prefer buying Oxo kitchen products because they seem better designed than the competition. They cost more up-front but the savings from long-term use more than make up for it.

What sold me on this was very positive online reviews AND the fact that it can be used in freezer AND fridge AND microwave AND conventional oven. (Note: directions warn NOT to put frozen dish into preheated oven, and of course the plastic lid should not be used in a conventional oven.) Easy to clean? Check. I love the way the plastic "gasket" is easy to remove and to wash. Stain resistant? The glass is. The lid...not so much, but also no big deal since the lid was not transparent to begin with. I can see what's inside when looking at it from the side (i.e. when it's in the fridge), and I expect the glass container will remain crystal clear as long as it is not severely abused. Water-tight? Check. Online reviews give it top ratings in this department. That big, beefy gasket gives you confidence that it won't leak. So, what's not to like? #1 - It's HOT when removing it from a microwave. Unlike the typical microwave container which has little plastic handles on the sides that do not get hot, this has no handles and so you have to handle it carefully with oven mitts when removing it from the microwave. #2 - Just a quibble, but when it's hot (the microwave has just finished heating), the lid does NOT want to snap on to the glass container. Let it cool for about 30 seconds [edit: 45 seconds] (with the lid off the container) and the lid will once again snap on OK. Of course, snapping on the lid after microwaving is nice because you're less likely to spill the contents while moving the container around. UPDATE APR 2022: broke on the first drop, 31 inch drop. (Floor: concrete covered with plastic tile.) Not sure if that's worth subtracting a star or not, given all of the other great features. It's been my most frequently-used microwaving dish. Still cleaned easily. Gasket still excellent. Plastic lid and gasket not prone to staining as are typical plastic containers. (I'm not saying that they WON'T stain, I'm saying that they haven't noticeably stained despite lots and lots of use.) I WILL be buying another.

Great container.

Glass feels sturdy and has a good thickness. Seals tight and no leakage happened so far. One thing I really liked is that removing and putting the rubber in the lid being really easy. The only problem I found so far is the quality control as one of the 3 containers I purchased a broken lid.

Perfect for storing leftovers

After my 2nd. Jim Beam Marinade Box one of the latch broke because of the Plastic pin. Sooner or later another latch will break. I threw it away and bought the OXO Good Grips 8 Cup Smart Seal Airtight Glass Rectangle Container. I like the Heavy Glass that doesn't Stain or Odor like Plastic, and the Tabs is one piece with the lid so it can't break. There's no Plastic Pin that hold the latch. $19.88! When everything is expensive in San Jose.

Exactly the size I was looking for and good quality.

I’ve been using cup glass container for food storage and it works very well. The glass feels sturdy and doesn’t retain odors. The lid seals tightly and I haven’t experienced any leaks. It’s convenient for the fridge and easy to clean. A good size for medium portions and food organization.

Height quality materials and not easy to break. Highly recommended

過去に購入したことがあり、もう一つ欲しいと探してみましたがその価格に驚愕！ 2018年12月時点での購入価格は2,160円だったのに、2023年1月時点で倍以上の価格になっています。 円安の影響ここに極まれり！と実感しています。 高すぎるので追加購入は諦めました。 LLサイズの大きさと密閉度を気に入っています。 重さは正直、具材を入れて持ち運ぶには重すぎます。 ただ、電子レンジを使った下拵えをしてそのまま保存できるので、洗い物を減らるのはいいですね。
