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.
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 soda-lime glass is chemically inert and FDA-approved — the same proven glass used in Pyrex Simply Store containers.
BPA-free polypropylene lids are FDA-approved and safe at normal storage temperatures — a reliable plastic choice for food-contact lids.
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 glass containers and polypropylene lids.
Confirmed BPA-free for both the glass container and plastic lid components.
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 seal — common across most brands in this category.
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 425°F — handles reheating, baking, and roasting with the lid removed. Avoid sudden temperature changes.
Snap-on lids push on without locking — adequate for refrigerator storage but will not prevent leaks during transport.
Four-latch locking system with silicone seal creates a fully leakproof, airtight closure — safe for soups and liquids during transport.
Both glass containers and PP lids are dishwasher safe — containers on any rack, lids on the top rack.
Both glass container and lid are fully dishwasher safe.
Simple one-handed snap lids lift on and off effortlessly — the easiest daily use in this comparison.
Four locking tabs require two hands to open and close — slightly frustrating for quick refrigerator access but necessary for the leakproof seal.
Containers stack flat when lidded — efficient for both fridge organization and cabinet storage.
Rectangular containers stack neatly in the fridge and cabinet.
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 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
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 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 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
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
