A good set of food storage containers cuts down on cupboard clutter. Glass bases suit people who want a see-through container that does not hold a color from sauces, while the lids are usually plastic and vary a lot between sets. Piece count, sizes, lid style and the oven or freezer use the maker lists are the main differences.
The six sets below run from a 5 piece pack of 22 oz containers to a 30 piece mixed set. Counts, sizes and materials come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these containers ourselves. Heat and freezer statements are the makers’ own, and lids are treated separately from the glass in most listings.

The 6 Best Food Storage Containers
1. KOMUEE 10 Pack 30 oz Glass Containers

Mistakes to Avoid
