The 5 Best Glass Meal Prep Containers

[@sleepydew]

One thing that stops me from meal prep is having good containers. Your video was exactly the advice I needed. Thanks!

[@SweetPeasSaffron]

I’m so glad you found it helpful! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@GYLTLLC]

You made this 5 years ago and I just saw that it’s confirmed that micro plastics are bad for our health, so now I’m over here shopping for glass containers lol Thank you for the video.

[@osamsal]

That's exactly how a comparison review should be! This was immensely helpful! Thank you

[@jpeachy4u482]

I never wash my snap ware lids in the dishwasher only by hand, and that helps with longevity. I prefer glass over plastic always when I saw a documentary about BPA and other plastics. Scared the bejesus out of me. Great video BTW.☺

[@SweetPeasSaffron]

Great tip! Glad you liked the video :)

[@georginataylor3802]

best detail review on meal prep and lunch container review I have seen. THANKS!

[@jennahilton8259]

Thank you so much! I started meal prepping to better control my portions, so the one with compartments are perfect for me. I have plastic ones, currently where a few broke from me cutting my chicken 🙃. The Prep Naturals multi-compartment container will be one I’ll be looking into.

After finding your channel ( which is awesome by the way!) I went on a hunt for decent glass meal prep containers in Canada. I found some at Ikea! I got 10 of them today, and they were only $3.50 each for the 20oz(2.5 cup) squares. The lids are indented too so they are stable when stacked. I’m not sure how they’ll hold up but I find ikea items usually last. Hopefully!

[@SweetPeasSaffron]

I love the ikea containers! I definitely recommend them as an alternative to the snapware ones. The lids are great quality and they are affordable

[@johnnykaldani633]

I, too, prefer the "wide-mouth" Mason canning jars. They are made in different sizes from 4oz to 64oz.

[@SweetPeasSaffron]

Johnny Kaldani wow! I’ve never seen larger than 1 quart, those 64 oz ones must be pretty big!

[@janiemartinez5429]

I know I am two years late in commenting but loved your video. I have just as many glass containers and almost the same ones. I have snap ware, Pyrex with snap lids, a set I bought at Sams...like I said many and I use them. I also have the meal prep container from naturals and you are right the lids don’t snap as good but still do a decent job for lunches for work.

[@cwbrownCaroline]

Great information, I’m just starting meal prep planning, and want to move away from plastic. I do have a question about the bento containers, do you find that you get liquid moving from container to container if it is being carried in a backpack!

[@geetha92533]

Hi, when you say Pyrex glass, do you mean sodium lime glass or do you mean borosilicate glass? Pyrex makes both kinds, with different pros & cons but I would like try the exact ones you reviewed. This is a fantastic review, really informative, and you covered the things that are really care about like how they stack it. The lid gets warped., thank you. I’m gonna subscribe.

[@ginacote2703]

I get confused about the Mason jars, how do you know if you can freeze in them?

[@terriarheghan3676]

Thank you that was very helpful and informative!!

[@kwmulligan]

Great video and info. Thank you

[@arisutsuki1310]

Do you have glass container that have wavy pattern at the bottom?

[@SioWills]

Are the containers your are most likely to travel with leak proof? Especially with more liquid based substances

[@JP-xj6lr]

Have you tried the Pyrex Ultimate storage containers? Though expensive, they are Pyrex glass containers with GLASS & SILICONE lids. I'm curious if those could end up at the top of your list.

[@gambitgambino1560]

The rubber should be removable just for you to clean it thoroughly

[@jennalacaria3924]

I've heard you say in other videos how much you love wex jars. How do they compare to the ones you showcased in this video?

[@SweetPeasSaffron]

I am actually not the hugest fan of Weck jars because the lids are a pain but I like standard mason jars like Ball or Kerr

[@SweetPeasSaffron]

I use Weck jars mainly because they look pretty in photos 😂

[@moniquehamilton5388]

Do you wash your mason jar lids in the dishwasher? I’m tempted to buy the one piece plastic lids. What are your thoughts?

[@dorothyyoung8231]

Absolutely - for me the one piece lids are a huge upgrade over the two-piece lids.

[@SweetPeasSaffron]

I wash my mason jar lids in the dishwasher and just make sure they are thoroughly dry before storing. I have no issues with rust.

[@sallie6]

I hate plastic containers but the glass ones are so hard to find in the everyday supermarkets!

[@SweetPeasSaffron]

I hear you! I have only found them in our Real Canadian Superstore, but I think Target carries them in the US?

[@abudhabi5111]

Sam’s club. Or Amazon online

[@Luke02NYY]

Thank you

[@steveisaak4320]

Do the snapware ones come in affordable sets?

[@SweetPeasSaffron]

Hi Steve! I've purchased them individually at Real Canadian Superstore and they were around $6 (CDN) each. They are affordable at Target and Walmart in the US. I haven't seen these containers sold as part of a set before. Another container I'm LOVING since posting this video, and that also happens to be cheaper, are the ones from IKEA. They come in a ton of sizes and I really like the lids!

[@steveisaak4320]

Sweet Peas Saffron full disclosure I am a heart patient. I have been watching Sam the Cooking Guys channel and trying to figure out hacks to make things healthier so I can put things back in the diet. My plan is much different. I am making his spaghetti pie and freezing most of it in the little containers Inhave. However I at lunch every day at school I have a salad and veggies. Is there a little larger size so I could put them together?

[@KapilJekishan]

Hi Denise, how can we email you? Couldn’t find your contact via the blog.

[@SweetPeasSaffron]

Feel free to ask your questions here, or you can email me at [e-mail]

[@drakkar_night3346]

The plastic seal is so you don’t grow mold in them. That’s why I don’t like Pyrex.

[@SweetPeasSaffron]

Well...3 years into owning them and I have never had mold grow. It could be that I live in a dryer climate, but if you thoroughly dry the lids, it really should not be an issue.

[@נתנאלשר-ה9ד]

looks like a comercial of a good product... but donno

[@60zeller]

[@browdy222]
