Compare Food Storage Containers
Caraway 14-Piece Glass Food Storage Container Set scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
Borosilicate glass is the safest food-contact material available — chemically inert with zero risk of leaching chemicals into your food at any temperature.
Borosilicate glass is the gold standard for food-contact safety — chemically inert, handles extreme temperature changes, and zero chemical migration into your food.
The silicone lid seals are FDA-approved and free of BPA, PFAS, and PTFE — the cleanest lid material profile in this category.
Food-grade polypropylene lids are FDA-approved and BPA-free by nature — one of the safest and most well-characterized plastics for food contact.
Confirmed BPA-free by brand, which is expected for a glass-and-silicone design — no plastics touch your food.
Confirmed BPA-free for both the borosilicate glass container and polypropylene lid.
Caraway is one of the few brands in this category to claim PFAS-free status backed by third-party testing for over 200 PFAS compounds.
No PFAS-free testing has been published for the lid seal — common across the entire category. The silicone gasket is not a PFAS risk by material nature.
Oven-safe to 450°F — take leftovers straight from the fridge to a hot oven without transferring to another dish.
Rated to 500°F — the highest oven temperature in this category. Handles freezer-to-oven transitions, roasting, and baking with ease.
The press-fit glass lid sits on top without locking clips or gaskets. Caraway's own FAQ notes these lids are not airtight or leakproof — fine for fridge storage, not for transport.
Four-sided locking clips with silicone seal create a fully leakproof, airtight closure — safe for soups, sauces, and liquid transport.
The glass containers go in the dishwasher, but the glass lids must be hand-washed — a daily inconvenience most families will notice.
Both glass container and lid are fully dishwasher safe.
Simple press-fit design lifts on and off easily with one hand — no latches to fumble with when your hands are full.
Four locking tabs require two hands to open and close — slightly frustrating for quick access but necessary for the leakproof seal.
Containers stack neatly in the fridge, and the included canvas organizer keeps them tidy in your cabinet.
Rectangular containers stack neatly when lidded — efficient for fridge and pantry organization.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You prioritize the safest possible food-contact materials for your family's daily food storage
You store leftovers primarily in the refrigerator and don't need leak-proof transport
You want oven-safe containers that go directly from fridge to a 450°F oven
You value a canvas organizer system for keeping your cabinet tidy
You want the safest material combination available — borosilicate glass with disclosed food-grade PP lids
You need leakproof containers for transporting soups, sauces, or meal prep
You want the highest oven temperature rating in this category at 500°F

The main thing to know
The lids are not airtight or leakproof — Caraway's own FAQ confirms this. If you regularly transport soups, stews, or packed lunches, these will leak.
At $15 per container, this is 5x more expensive per piece than the Pyrex Simply Store 12-pack. The premium is justified for families who prioritize material safety and transport, but budget-conscious buyers can get safe glass storage for much less.
