Compare Food Storage Containers
Snapware Total Solution 6-Cup Rectangle Glass Food Storage Container 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 soda-lime glass is chemically inert and FDA-approved — the same proven glass used in Pyrex Simply Store containers.
Food-grade polypropylene lids are FDA-approved and BPA-free by nature — one of the safest and most well-characterized plastics for food contact.
Snapware does not disclose the specific plastic type in the lid. While the lid is BPA-free with a silicone gasket, the lack of material transparency is a concern for a direct food-contact surface.
Confirmed BPA-free for both the borosilicate glass container and polypropylene lid.
Confirmed BPA-free for both the glass container and plastic lid components.
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 seal — common across most brands in this category.
Rated to 500°F — the highest oven temperature in this category. Handles freezer-to-oven transitions, roasting, and baking with ease.
Oven-safe to 425°F — handles reheating, baking, and roasting with the lid removed. Avoid sudden temperature changes.
Four-sided locking clips with silicone seal create a fully leakproof, airtight closure — safe for soups, sauces, and liquid transport.
Four-latch locking system with silicone seal creates a fully leakproof, airtight closure — safe for soups and liquids during transport.
Both glass container and lid are fully dishwasher safe.
Both glass container and lid are fully dishwasher safe.
Four locking tabs require two hands to open and close — slightly frustrating for quick access but necessary for the leakproof seal.

Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
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
You prefer large 8-cup containers for batch cooking and family meal prep
You need a large 6-cup leakproof container for meal prep and transport
You value the Snapware lifetime warranty against thermal shock breakage
You want a single container rather than committing to a full set
You are comfortable with BPA-free claims without specific polymer disclosure
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 type used in the locking lid. While it is BPA-free, buyers who want full material transparency should consider Glasslock or Pyrex with known PP lids.
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
You want full material transparency on lid composition — Snapware does not disclose the specific plastic type
You want borosilicate glass for better thermal shock resistance — this uses soda-lime glass
You prefer one-handed convenience — the 4-latch mechanism requires two hands
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
