Illustration by Frescora

Both glass and plastic containers have a place in the kitchen.

Glass

Does not stain or hold odors and is often oven safe without the lid. Heavier and breakable.

Plastic

Light and good for lunches. Check microwave and dishwasher guidance on the label.

Lids

Check that lids seal and are rated for the dishwasher or freezer as listed.
