Glass storage containers

Leftovers and meal prep that reheat safely.

What it is and why it matters

Food storage containers hold leftovers, meal prep and make-ahead parts of a recipe. Glass containers can usually go from the fridge to the microwave or oven (check the lid). Clear sides show what's inside at a glance.
