Compare Food Storage Containers
Snapware Total Solution Glass Food Storage Containers (18-Piece Set) scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
Tempered soda-lime glass is chemically inert and FDA-approved — no chemicals leach into your food. Slightly more susceptible to thermal shock than borosilicate but perfectly safe for daily use.
Pyrex-branded tempered soda-lime glass — the same proven food-safe material used across the Pyrex line. Chemically inert with no leaching risk.
Food-grade polypropylene lids are FDA-approved and BPA-free by nature — a solid choice, though not as inert as silicone or glass lid materials.
The lid plastic is described only as "BPA-free" — the specific polymer type is not disclosed, limiting our ability to assess the full safety profile of this food-contact surface.
Confirmed BPA-free across both the glass containers and polypropylene lids.
Confirmed BPA-free for both glass containers and plastic lids.
Glasslock has not published PFAS-free testing for the lid silicone gaskets — a transparency gap but not unusual in 2026.
Snapware has not published PFAS-free testing for the lid gasket material.
Oven-safe to 450°F via TEMPERMAX tempering technology — full versatility from fridge to oven.
Oven-safe to 450°F — full fridge-to-oven versatility with the glass containers (lids must be removed).
The 4-tab locking clip system with integrated silicone gasket is the most leak-resistant design tested by expert reviewers — ideal for transporting soups and liquids.
Four-tab locking clips with silicone gasket create an airtight, leakproof seal — reliable for transporting liquids and meal prep.
Both glass containers and polypropylene lids are fully dishwasher safe — no hand-wash components.
Both containers and lids are dishwasher safe — containers on any rack, lids on the top rack to prevent warping.
The 4-tab locking design is very secure but requires snapping all four sides with two hands — slower than press-fit or one-handed snap designs.
The 4-tab locking mechanism requires two hands and moderate force — secure but not as quick as press-fit or one-handed snap designs.
Containers stack with lids on and nest with lids off — though the mixed shapes (round, square, rectangle) are less space-efficient than uniform sets.
Containers nest inside each other for compact cabinet storage and stack when filled with lids on.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You want glass containers with genuinely leakproof lids for transporting lunches and soups
You need an affordable 9-container glass set under $40 for meal prep
You regularly move containers from fridge to oven — these handle 450°F
You prefer everything to go in the dishwasher without exception
You want leakproof glass containers with 4-tab locking lids for transporting meals
You value having replacement lids available when the originals wear out
You cook from glass containers and need 450°F oven-safe versatility

The main thing to know
The polypropylene lids are the weakest link — Glasslock has not disclosed PFAS-free status for the lid gasket material, and the specific plastic formulation beyond "BPA-free" is not detailed.
Snapware does not disclose the specific plastic used in the lids beyond "BPA-free plastic." This is the same transparency gap as OXO — when a plastic lid touches your food daily, knowing the exact material matters.
Skip this if you...
You want to eliminate all plastic from your food storage — the PP lids are direct food-contact surfaces
You need one-handed lid operation — the 4-tab locking system requires two hands
You specifically need PFAS-free verification on lid gaskets
Full lid material transparency is important to you — the plastic type is not specified
You prefer one-handed lid operation for quick daily fridge access
You want the safest possible lid material — silicone or glass lid options score higher
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
