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.
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.
Pyrex-branded tempered soda-lime glass — the same proven food-safe material used across the Pyrex line. Chemically inert with no leaching risk.
BPA-free polypropylene lids are FDA-approved and safe at normal storage temperatures — a reliable plastic choice for food-contact lids.
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 glass containers and polypropylene lids.
Confirmed BPA-free for both glass containers and plastic lids.
Pyrex has not published PFAS-free testing for the lid material — common across most brands in this category.
Snapware has not published PFAS-free testing for the lid gasket material.
Oven-safe to 425°F in a preheated oven — suitable for reheating and light baking, but avoid broiling or rapid temperature changes.
Oven-safe to 450°F — full fridge-to-oven versatility with the glass containers (lids must be removed).
Snap-on lids push on without locking — adequate for refrigerator storage but will not prevent leaks during transport.
Four-tab locking clips with silicone gasket create an airtight, leakproof seal — reliable for transporting liquids and meal prep.
Both glass containers and PP lids are dishwasher safe — containers on any rack, lids on the top rack.
Both containers and lids are dishwasher safe — containers on any rack, lids on the top rack to prevent warping.
Simple one-handed snap lids lift on and off effortlessly — the easiest daily use in this comparison.
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 flat when lidded — efficient for both fridge organization and cabinet storage.
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 primarily store leftovers in the refrigerator and want a safe glass alternative to plastic
You want the simplest possible daily use — one-handed snap lids open and close effortlessly
You need an affordable 12-container glass set for under $28
You trust the Pyrex heritage brand and want easy replacement lid availability
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 snap-on lids are not airtight or leakproof. Pyrex Simply Store is designed for home refrigerator use — if you pack lunches or transport food, these lids will shift and leak.
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 need leakproof containers for transporting lunches, soups, or liquids
You want borosilicate glass — Pyrex US uses soda-lime glass since 1998, which has thermal shock limitations
You want PFAS-free verification on lid materials
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?
