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.
Soda-lime glass is chemically inert and FDA-approved — safe for daily food contact. Pyrex US uses tempered soda-lime (not borosilicate), so avoid sudden freezer-to-hot-oven transitions.
The silicone lid seals are FDA-approved and free of BPA, PFAS, and PTFE — the cleanest lid material profile in this category.
BPA-free polypropylene lids are FDA-approved and safe at normal storage temperatures — a reliable plastic choice for food-contact lids.
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 glass containers and polypropylene lids.
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.
Pyrex has not published PFAS-free testing for the lid material — 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.
Oven-safe to 425°F in a preheated oven — suitable for reheating and light baking, but avoid broiling or rapid temperature changes.
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.
Snap-on lids push on without locking — adequate for refrigerator storage but will not prevent leaks during 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 containers and PP lids are dishwasher safe — containers on any rack, lids on the top rack.
Simple press-fit design lifts on and off easily with one hand — no latches to fumble with when your hands are full.
Simple one-handed snap lids lift on and off effortlessly — the easiest daily use in this comparison.
Containers stack neatly in the fridge, and the included canvas organizer keeps them tidy in your cabinet.
Containers stack flat when lidded — efficient for both fridge organization and cabinet storage.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
