All containers we recommend are oven-safe up to at least 400°F, but lids are usually not. Check temperature limits.

Soak glass in baking soda and water to remove stains. Avoid harsh abrasives that can scratch.
After comparing over a dozen sets, we found that borosilicate glass with silicone-sealed lids offers the best balance of durability, safety, and value at this price point.
When stacking containers in the cupboard, place a paper towel between glass lids to prevent scratching and chipping.
