Product Information

Food freshness: Apart from using each container in our regular routines, we conducted a "freshness test. Durability: Whether they are tempered, borosilicate, or another type of glass, durability and longevity should be a top priority. Performance: We filled each container to its maximum capacity with water, sealed it shut with the lid, shook it for one minute, and noted how much water leaked (if any). In tests, the lids locked on with relative ease, and their silicone rings prevent spilling if the containers are accidentally tipped, but the lids did feel like they could be more susceptible to premature wear.

Borosilicate contains boric oxide, which makes it even more resistant to thermal shock than tempered glass, but it’s also more expensive to produce. This set also includes chalkboard labels and a chalk marker to attractively label the containers so everyone knows what each one holds.If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. When it’s time to bring a dish to a potluck, the tight-fitting lid makes it easy to transport everything from salad to lasagna to cookies, and since it’s microwave safe, food can be reheated easily. If you’re not ready to shell out for borosilicate, don’t worry: It usually takes an extreme temperature change, like putting a frozen casserole directly in the oven, for tempered glass to shatter.

Made by OXO, this set comes with two 4-ounce rectangle containers, two 1-cup round containers, one 1. It’s worth noting, though: While the heavy-duty glass adds to durability, we thought the containers were too bulky and heavy for everyday transport (in other words, desk lunches). These dividers make the containers great for storing a sandwich on one side and some veggies or fruit on the smaller side.

The large slot is big enough to fit a half or small sandwich and the other compartments hold liquids well, like apple sauce, yogurt etc.This lunch box and water bottle combo is available in a myriad of designs which suit every child's tastes and preferences. We also hand washed each container to see if there were any difficult spots to get clean or if any food particles were left in the grooves and crevices of the lids. If your glass container doesn’t say it’s tempered or strengthened, it’s probably untreated or just regular old glass.
