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 freezer-to-oven transitions without shattering, and zero chemical migration.
The silicone lid seals are FDA-approved and free of BPA, PFAS, and PTFE — the cleanest lid material profile in this category.
OXO does not disclose the specific plastic type used in the lid. While it includes a silicone gasket and is BPA-free, the lack of material transparency is a concern since the lid contacts your food directly.
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 plastic lid components.
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.
OXO has not published PFAS-free testing for the silicone gasket or lid — common across most brands in this category.
Oven-safe to 450°F — take leftovers straight from the fridge to a hot oven without transferring to another dish.
Borosilicate glass goes from freezer to preheated oven without needing to thaw first — full versatility for reheating, baking, and roasting.
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 locking tabs with a silicone gasket create a fully leakproof, airtight seal — safe for soups, sauces, and anything you need to 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 refrigerator access but the trade-off for a leakproof seal.
Containers stack neatly in the fridge, and the included canvas organizer keeps them tidy in your cabinet.
Stacks neatly in the fridge or freezer and nests in the cabinet when stored without lids.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.

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.
OXO does not disclose the specific plastic type used in the lid. While it is BPA-free with a silicone gasket, buyers who want full material transparency should consider alternatives like Glasslock that disclose PP lids.
