When it comes to packing lunch or storing leftovers, glass containers are always a reliable choice; their nonporous nature means the material won’t absorb tastes, odors, or bacteria. But some containers are more durable and leak-proof than others. So, what should you think about when you’re shopping for the best glass food storage containers? You’ll want first to consider the type of glass the containers are made from. Typically, borosilicate glass will be the best option for food storage because it’s durable and heat-resistant. Its temperature resistant is 420 degree. It’s microwave and oven safe. Tempered glass is another popular option that offers more resistance to cracking and breaking than other types of glass.
