Glass & Ceramic Storage — Safer Choices for Leftovers
Why glass beats plastic
Plastic containers stain, warp, and can leach chemicals into food. Glass and ceramic resist odors, withstand temperature swings, and transition safely between freezer, oven, and dishwasher.
Budget-friendly classics
The Pyrex deep baking dish doubles as a casserole pan and leftover container. Anchor Hocking’s TrueSeal line uses BPA-free lids that seal tightly and are oven safe.
Pantry and fermentation: Weck Jars
Weck jars are beloved by home fermenters and bakers alike. Their system of glass lids, rubber gaskets, and stainless clamps avoids plastic altogether. Wide mouths make them perfect for overnight oats, sauerkraut, or bulk dry storage.
Long-term investment: Glasslock
Glasslock’s oven-safe set is a favorite among editors who’ve used them for over six years. Leak-proof lids make them portable, and tempered glass resists cracks and odors.
Investing in glass or ceramic reduces clutter — one set can last a decade, while plastic containers often need replacing yearly.
