I can attest to Pyrex’s stain-resistant qualities, as our glassware is still just as clear as the day it arrived, including my mom’s which is more than five years old. My mom appreciates that she can throw her lids and containers in the top or bottom rack of the dishwasher, saving valuable top-rack space. My mom explains that the locking lids provide extra peace of mind because she knows they are secure when she hears the tabs click into place on each side.

The set I’m buying is also designed to resist absorbing stains, odors, and flavors from food, so whatever it holds will stay fresh. Plus, the lids are made from BPA-free plastic, so they’re safe to use in the microwave, and every part of the containers can go in the dishwasher. The set comes with dry-erase labels on each lid, too, so you can label them with dates and descriptors. SimilarPyrex glassware we trieddidn’t splatter soup in the microwave, either.

One Amazon shopper dubbedthe Pyrex glass storage vessels the “perfect containers for leftovers,” adding that they “keep food super fresh” and are “easy to clean and durable.”Another shopper notedthat “the versatility of being able to freeze, dishwash, and use in the oven” makes them “super useful” for everyday use.

My mom and grandma’s well-loved Pyrex food storage containers have stood the test of time, so I’m confident that thissimilar Pyrex glass food container setwill soon become a mainstay in my own kitchen. Join me in taking advantage of this deal before Prime Big Deal Days end on October 9.
