I also have some Pyrex that has been going strong for years now, and I really like it...just not as much as the Glasslock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-glass-food-storage#post-1607209 Thu, 01 May 2014 21:32:09 +0000 Ginabean3 1607209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pyrex with plastic lids! But we never use the lids in the microwave...we cover with a paper towel </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-glass-food-storage#post-1607172 Thu, 01 May 2014 21:21:56 +0000 hummusgirl 1607172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: No, not stainless! It was alarming and I read a bunch of stuff afterward about how they started using a different kind of glass for Pyrex than they used to, and that's what created the issue. Regardless, I never plan to test it again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-glass-food-storage#post-1607121 Thu, 01 May 2014 21:02:59 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1607121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hummusgirl: Is your stovetop stainless steel though? I wouldn't expect that to happen either if you're taking it out of the oven and putting it onto your stovetop. The sink is another story :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-glass-food-storage#post-1607041 Thu, 01 May 2014 20:31:47 +0000 hummusgirl 1607041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all! I will look into these. </p> <p>@2PeasinaPod: Erm...I totally had a Pyrex shatter once! I'd assumed something "oven-safe" wouldn't explode into a thousand pieces just by removing from the oven and putting on top of the stove (where else are you supposed to put it?!). I use ceramic now. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-glass-food-storage#post-1605874 Thu, 01 May 2014 13:34:31 +0000 MaryM 1605874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have a few with snap lids of another brand I can't remember that I found at HomeGoods </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-glass-food-storage#post-1605865 Thu, 01 May 2014 13:33:20 +0000 snowjewelz 1605865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the pyrex w/ plastic lids also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-glass-food-storage#post-1605853 Thu, 01 May 2014 13:31:33 +0000 bunnylove08 1605853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have pyrex and the snapware.

Costco? I don't remember, but just about the same style. I leave the lid off when/if I microwave.</p> <p>I was thinking about going to the thrift store to see if they had any, because glass storage is $$$!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-glass-food-storage#post-1605794 Thu, 01 May 2014 13:18:44 +0000 littlebug 1605794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a set of Rubbermaid ones at Target. I really like them. They have the interlocking lids, so I'm not constantly losing lids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-glass-food-storage#post-1605775 Thu, 01 May 2014 13:15:05 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1605775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you see today's blog post?

I also never use the lids in the microwave. I'd rather cover with a wet paper towel. </p> <p>I always laugh at the reviews of pyrex when they put a hot dish from their oven into a stainless steel sink and are absolutely shocked when it shatters. Of course it shattered! The extreme change in temperature from a hot oven to a cold steel sink is going to shatter glass! </p> <p>I also have corningware with the glass lids as well, but they don't stack well with the glass lids in the fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-glass-food-storage#post-1605769 Thu, 01 May 2014 13:14:25 +0000 hellobear 1605769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>got snapware at costco awhile back &amp; they have them at amazon also.. i LOVE them! </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/New-Snaplock-Lid-Containers-set~Microwave/dp/B00EB1AIFG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1398967813&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=snapware" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/New-Snaplock-Lid-Containers-set~Microwave/dp/B00EB1AIFG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1398967813&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=snapware</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-glass-food-storage#post-1605761 Thu, 01 May 2014 13:11:30 +0000 MaryM 1605761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I forgot to add, I really like the locking lids because I use them a lot for leftovers I bring to work.

Do you have a set of glass food storage containers you love? Amazon is failing me - most people will rave about something, and then someone else will say, "the glass chipped off into my finger! Danger!!" and then I have decision paralysis. Help! </p>
