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.
Borosilicate glass is the gold standard for food-contact safety — chemically inert, handles extreme temperature changes, and zero chemical migration into your food.
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 — one of the safest and most well-characterized plastics for food contact.
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 for both the borosilicate glass container and polypropylene lid.
Confirmed BPA-free for both glass containers and plastic lids.
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.
Snapware has not published PFAS-free testing for the lid gasket material.
Rated to 500°F — the highest oven temperature in this category. Handles freezer-to-oven transitions, roasting, and baking with ease.
Oven-safe to 450°F — full fridge-to-oven versatility with the glass containers (lids must be removed).
Four-sided locking clips with silicone seal create a fully leakproof, airtight closure — safe for soups, sauces, and liquid transport.
Four-tab locking clips with silicone gasket create an airtight, leakproof seal — reliable for transporting liquids and meal prep.
Both glass container and lid are fully dishwasher safe.
Both containers and lids are dishwasher safe — containers on any rack, lids on the top rack to prevent warping.
Four locking tabs require two hands to open and close — slightly frustrating for quick access but necessary for the leakproof seal.
The 4-tab locking mechanism requires two hands and moderate force — secure but not as quick as press-fit or one-handed snap designs.
Rectangular containers stack neatly when lidded — efficient for fridge and pantry organization.
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 need leakproof containers for transporting soups, sauces, or meal prep

The main thing to know
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.
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 are on a budget — at $15/piece, a full set of containers adds up quickly
You prefer one-handed convenience — the 4-tab locking mechanism requires two hands
You want a variety of container sizes — this set only includes 8-cup containers
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?
