GladWare Matchware Food Storage Containers, 20 pc Value Pack Rainbow Kitchen Storage Containers | Glad Lock Tight Seal, BPA Free Lunch Containers, Glad Plastic Food Containers with Lids

I've been making holiday dinners long enough to recognize that my guests want to bring leftovers home. I picked up this set of storage containers to wrap up the extra salad, red cabbage, and so on. It was a good decision.Many such sets have a selection of containers that we don't get around to using. How many 1/2 containers do any of us need? One or two, perhaps, for an extra bit of salad dressing, but that's all. This set of small-medium-not-quite-large is just right for ordinary purposes. Plus, they stack and seal reasonably well, with color-coded tops that minimize confusion.

These are super sturdy and are reusable. Stand up well in the dishwasher on the top shelf. I haven't had to throw any away. Also great for leftovers to use for guests to take home. They are cute too.

Gladware is a big part of my single life. I like to eat soup and cereal out of it and heat things in it. The colors were great because I can't stand just plain plastic containers. I think they heat pretty well in the microwave with no melting, no burning, and no damage. I like to place the lid loosely on the container when I heat soup in the microwave or sauce. My only caution is try not to store deeply dyed sauces in these because they will stain and become a mess. These were actually a replacement for my old ones which were damaged and orange. I will try to take better care of this set.

I thought this set was going to be so much better. The sizes aren’t great. They are in between the sizes you would actually want. They aren’t flimsy but they aren’t super sturdy like a good Rubbermaid. They do stack and they are a decent value for the money. I however most likely wouldn’t repurchase them.

Finally a way to match your storage container tops and bottoms without going nuts! Great to organize and top rack dishwasher safe. The assortment of sizes from small to extra large another plus.

I got this set to replace all the containers I've lost lids to over the years. I like the different sizes or them and the way they stack and organize today. They are dishwasher safe and seal correctly every time.

These containers are not only decorated prettily, but are in nice, varied sizes. I'm thinking of buying another set for sharing...

ProsUseful assortment of sizes.The lid color matches the design on the container-makes it easier to grab the right lid.ConsThe lids are hard to get on. Super squeaky and in on the square and rectangle containers the lid bends at the corners once it’s on (almost wonder if the lids aren’t quite the right size for the containers)
