I bought a set of Pyrex ones with plastic lids. Will also have to invest in larger glass ones, as the Pyrex ones aren't big enough for some of our leftovers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-520053 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:26:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 520053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a set of glass ones with plastic covers that I use. I've microwaved them with the lids lightly set on top before (so it isn't actually touching food) and it warped the lids a little, so I wouldn't do that. I have one of those microwave lid things that are vented and use that to cover splatter-- it's plastic, but it's meant to be microwaved and it doesn't actually touch any food. Otherwise a paper towel works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-520024 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:03:51 +0000 allison 520024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been talking about replacing our plastic stuff, too, and I've been looking at these:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Anchor-Hocking-10-Piece-TrueSeal-Storage/dp/B002MW3IE4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&#038;colid=167WGR7WUUWY4&#038;coliid=I1JZ3K6CEGXG3X" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Anchor-Hocking-10-Piece-TrueSeal-Storage/dp/B002MW3IE4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&#038;colid=167WGR7WUUWY4&#038;coliid=I1JZ3K6CEGXG3X</a></p> <p>Says they're freezer, fridge, microwave, and oven safe. But I'm not sure they could go from freezer to oven. Maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519990 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:46:07 +0000 pregnantbee 519990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: Nah, you're not gross. I'm just a neat freak :) I really appreciate your feedback. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519989 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:45:25 +0000 twinmama 519989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: we have splatter, but it's not a huge deal to me to wipe the top of the micro every few days. maybe i'm gross, lol :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519939 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:27:12 +0000 pregnantbee 519939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: Hmm, I always worry about splatter, but now I'm more worried about the plastic contaminating our food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519936 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:26:11 +0000 twinmama 519936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: nope, i always take the lids off. i very rarely cover anything in the microwave, tbh. if I do, it's just a paper towel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519935 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:26:11 +0000 tororojo 519935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: I have kept them on before (just set on top to prevent splatters, not sealed) and because the lids are so thin, it got kind of warped in the microwave...now I just cover with a paper towel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519933 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:25:09 +0000 Bao 519933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have glass ones with snap on lids and they work great for going from the fridge to the microwave. </p> <p><a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=17057456" rel="nofollow">http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=17057456</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519930 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:24:39 +0000 pregnantbee 519930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hergreenapples: Good call re: the small plate. Thanks for the suggestion :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519927 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:23:48 +0000 heartonastring 519927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the glass ones with the plastic lids. I won't put plastic in the microwave, so I remove the lid and cover the top with an inverted small plate. That does the job quite nicely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519926 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:23:00 +0000 pregnantbee 519926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bluebonnet: @MerryC: @tororojo: Thanks for your replies. Do you keep the plastic lids on when you heat leftovers in the microwave? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519921 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:20:45 +0000 tororojo 519921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have glass ones and have heated stuff from the fridge before with no trouble. They're not Pyrex but they're great quality and I love them! DH and I were talking earlier today about how much use we've gotten out of them. Ours are from Kohl's, not sure what brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519914 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:15:18 +0000 twinmama 519914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some pyrex too and fridge to micro has always been fine. I just wouldn't do freezer to a preheated oven or anything like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519898 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:07:16 +0000 Bluebonnet 519898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've used the Pyrex glass containers with plastic lids for several years and haven't had any problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-storage-containers#post-519893 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:06:00 +0000 pregnantbee 519893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to replace my toss-away plastic Glad containers with others that are great for refrigerating leftovers. Ideally, they would be able to go from the fridge directly into the microwave for heating. I looked at Pyrex glass containers with plastic lids, but the box says "no extreme temperature changes."</p> <p>Does such a thing exist? How do you heat up your leftovers? (I want to avoid leaching plastic into the food.) Recommendations? </p>
