Glass Food Storage Sets for the Fridge, Freezer and Lunch Bag

The title says 24 pieces, and that count needs a second look. One reviewer who wrote at length spells it out: 24 pieces means 12 glass containers and 12 lids, not 24 bowls plus lids. Twelve containers is still a full cupboard, but you should compare it with other sets on that basis.

HOMBERKING lists three shapes and nine sizes. The rectangles are 370 ml (two of them), 630 ml and 1,040 ml. The squares are 310 ml (two), 530 ml and 800 ml.

The rounds are 390 ml (two), 640 ml and 970 ml. The brand converts that to 1.4 cups for the smallest square and 4.5 cups for the largest rectangle.

That spread suits a shelf of leftovers, sauces and lunch portions. It does not suit a big pot of soup. If you cook large batches, the 1,040 ml top size will feel small, and the large pair reviewed here is the better fit.

The brand allows 0.1 to 0.3 inch of difference in its measurements. The spec sheet gives one set of dimensions, 6.02 by 4.41 by 3.07 inches, without saying which container it describes.

Measure your shelf first. One reviewer found the containers a lot smaller than expected, though they hold more than they look like they will.

The glass is borosilicate. HOMBERKING says it withstands temperatures from minus 4°F to 752°F, and rates the containers for freezer, microwave and oven use within that range.

The lids are BPA-free plastic with a snap lock and a silicone seal that comes off for cleaning. The brand says to keep the lids out of the microwave and the oven, because heat can deform the lid and the silicone strip.

Care is easy, with two catches. The containers are dishwasher safe, and one reviewer who wanted to leave plastic behind runs the glass through the dishwasher and washes the tops by hand. HOMBERKING also says to wash lids and containers before putting them away, or the seal can stick to the container.

Stacking has a rule. The brand calls the set stackable but says not to stack containers without a plastic layer or something else between them, to avoid friction and breakage.

In a cabinet that means a sheet of paper towel or a silicone mat between tiers. One reviewer says the set stacks easily in the fridge and the cabinet.

Buyers like the seal and the glass. One says the tops snap down nice and tight. Another calls the glass thick and the lids sturdy, and a third freezes leftovers and reports no staining from red sauce.

The reviews we read had none below four stars, so criticism is thin. The star breakdown shows about 79 percent five stars, 13 percent four and 8 percent three stars or below.

Skip it if you want one or two big containers, if your cabinet is shallow, or if you stack glass without a separator.

The title promises four pieces. That means two glass containers and two lids, each container holding 1,800 ml or 63 fluid ounces. One reviewer put it at just under 8 cups.

This is the set for soup, a casserole or a week of rice, not for packing a lunch. The spec sheet lists a 2.4 kg item weight and 5.83 by 4.84 by 3.98 inches for the size. Glass this big is heavy, and the reviews treat it that way.

HOMBERKING makes the same heat claim here as on its larger set: borosilicate glass that withstands minus 4°F to 752°F. The containers can go in the freezer, microwave, oven and dishwasher, and the lids can't.

The brand adds that you should hand wash the lids as much as possible, to keep the silicone seal on the lid edge from deforming. It also says to wash lids and containers before putting them away, so the removable seal ring doesn't stick.

Buyers like what they get. One reviewer is moving away from plastic and cooks, reheats, freezes and stores in the same glass. Another says the lids lock great and that you get a lot for the money.

A third likes the white version because you can see what is left after emptying it. The reviews mention black, pink, deep blue and white colors.

One reviewer reports a smaller container from this brand's set that fell on stone tile and did not shatter or chip. Treat that as one buyer's luck, not a rating. The same reviewer had a hinge slip off and snapped it back by hand.

The criticism is about the lids, and it is specific. A three-star review says one lid does not close properly, which makes the container useless. A four-star reviewer says the lid clasps are not heavy duty.

That reviewer picked up an empty container by the side, the lid flipped open and the glass hit the floor. They fixed it by fitting sturdier lids from other containers they already owned.

The lesson is simple. Lift these by the base, never by the lid or the rim, and test each lid when the set arrives. The brand says to contact it if a product arrives damaged, and promises an answer within 24 hours.

Skip it if you want a mix of sizes, since this is a single large size, or if kids load your dishwasher and drag containers out by the lid. The star breakdown shows about 83 percent five stars and 5 percent three stars or below.

Snapware lists two 1-cup squares, two 4-cup squares and one 6-cup rectangle, each with a plastic lid. That is five containers and five lids, ten pieces in all. The sizes cover the usual fridge jobs: a snack, a portion of leftovers and a casserole.

The brand weighs the set at 7.1 pounds. The details panel carries other figures, such as a 708.4 ml volume, that do not line up with the cup sizes, so go by the cup sizes in the bullet points.

The notes on materials are mixed. The title and details say glass. One bullet describes a BPA-free polypropylene container and lid that are microwave, top-rack dishwasher and freezer safe.

The details panel lists only freezer safe under features. Snapware gives no oven temperature, so for hot dishes read the box.

Reviewers fill the gap with their own habits. One reheats food in a toaster oven with the plastic lid off.

Another cooks in the 6-cup size, stores leftovers in it, and freezes casseroles for two or four in the 4-cup and 6-cup sizes. These are buyers' habits, not Snapware ratings.

The lids are the strong point in the reviews. Snapware describes snap lock lids that are airtight and leak-proof, and says they fit both its glass and its plastic containers.

One reviewer tosses yogurt in a bag and does not give it a second thought. Another says you can write on the lid with a marker and wash it off later. A third says the lids come off easily straight from the freezer.

Snapware says its glass and plastic are made in the USA and carry a lifetime warranty. Those are the brand's claims, and the details give no terms. One reviewer says the glass is sturdy but not too heavy, and another has run the set through the dishwasher many times, washing lids by hand.

Criticism is scarce. All twelve written reviews we read give five stars, and most are several years old. The star breakdown has about 4 percent one star and 2 percent two stars, so roughly one rating in nine is three stars or below.

One reviewer who owns another brand finds that brand's lids a touch sturdier, and uses both for the different sizes.

Skip it if you want containers larger than 6 cups, if you want a stated oven limit, or if you want more than five containers in one box. For most cabinets, the three sizes are enough.

This is one container: a 4-cup round glass dish with a plastic lid. It measures 6.5 inches across and 3.25 inches high, and it weighs 1.3 pounds. That is about the size of a bowl for a serving of soup.

Snapware says the BPA-free polypropylene container and lid are microwave, top-rack dishwasher and freezer safe. The lid is the same snap lock design, which the brand calls airtight and leak-proof, and it fits both Snapware glass and plastic vessels.

The brand recommends it for fruits, vegetables, leftovers, snacks and dry goods. As with the set, it gives no oven temperature.

The written reviews are few and short. One buyer says it works better than all-plastic containers and owns several. Another bought it to match two they had bought locally and is thinking about a fourth.

A third says it is the same size as the round containers in a larger set they know, only the lid color differs. One mentions it arrived with no breakage. That matters for glass, but we can't say more than that from the reviews we read.

The star breakdown is less tidy than the others. About 79 percent of ratings are five stars, but 7 percent are one star, the highest share of the four products here. The reviews we read don't explain why, so we can't say what goes wrong for those buyers.

Lids matter more than the dish here. If you already own Snapware glass or plastic, the brand says this lid fits those vessels too, which could help a mismatched shelf. That is the brand's claim, and none of the reviews we read tested it.

The case for it is narrow. If you own the Snapware ten-piece set and want a second 4-cup container, or you need one round dish for a gap on the shelf, it makes sense. If you are starting from nothing, a set gives you more containers for your money.

Skip it if you want a container that holds a whole casserole, or if you are buying your first glass storage and want several sizes at once.
