The mister and I finally went through all of our food storage containers and unfortunately found that a lot of them contained BPA. We just couldn’t have this, so out they went. Then on our last shopping trip to Costco, we purchased two large sets of Snapware Glasslock and we are both in love. First of all, the containers are glass. Yay! Second the locking lids are BPA free and snap securely closed. I love the glass containers, they are fabulous and are so much nicer than any plastic ware that we previously had. I can see this set lasting us for a long, long time.
What type of food storage containers do you have?
I use the easy-find rubbermaid set:

Do these have BPA? Cuz I love them.

Hi Caleb and Emily and Designs,
I choose the Snapware Glass Lock because I wanted glass containers with BPA free locking lids. Love them.

We also like glass! My husband and I have started replacing our plastic food containers with glass and these are an excellent alternative. I’m definitely going to look for these on my next trip to Costco!
Hi Jennifer,
These are the best alternative that I have found and believe me, we have been looking. We really love them. Good luck, I hope your Costco stocks them.

If you want to stick with Rubbermaid the Easy Find lids are bpa free… they have a page that shows what is and what is not… http://www.rubbermaid.com/Pages/LearnAboutBPA.aspx
I’m going to check out the Costco ones as well. Hope they have them in stock! Thanks, again. You are so helpful!
Hi dcg2u,
Yay! That is great. Let me know if you find the Glass Lock at Costco, you will love it.

we also love these containers! Found them at Costco and am so glad we bought them!
Hi Windydinks,
You did? That is great, I am glad you like them too.

Can you tell me if these glasslocks are at all tolerant of the oven, maybe at low temps? No one seems to specify one way or the other.
Thanks!
Hi Shantastic,
I checked with SNAPWARE and was told, “Snapware Glasslock containers are NOT safe for use in the oven. However they are perfectly safe for microwave use. One other important safety caution along these lines is that the containers should never go directly from the freezer to the microwave. As with all glass products, extreme temperature changes can cause the glass the break.”
I hope this helps.
xo,
Sweet Greens.
Snapwear Glass lock all the way!!!
I would use them for food storage…..anything but plastic, I’m so trying to get away from that!!
