Key buying factors
Borosilicate glass handles thermal shock and is lighter, while soda-lime glass is heavier and more impact-resistant. We prefer borosilicate for food containers and tempered soda-lime for coin banks.
Airtight lids with silicone gaskets prevent leaks and keep contents fresh. We tested each lid by filling containers with water and shaking-any leak disqualified the product.
Consider how much you need to store and where the container will sit. Oversized jars (1 gallon) are great for savings, while 22-32oz containers fit nicely in cupboards or fridges.
Thicker glass (2mm+) resists chipping and cracking. We dropped containers from 3 feet onto carpet and linoleum; only borosilicate and tempered glass survived without damage.
Wide mouths allow hand washing and fit in dishwasher racks. Narrow openings can trap residue-our picks all have openings wide enough for a sponge or brush.
Rectangular containers maximize space, while round jars stack less efficiently. We preferred sets that nest or have interlocking lids for tidy storage.

While many are dishwasher safe, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge extends the life of silicone gaskets and printed labels. Avoid abrasive scrubbers.
For borosilicate glass, preheat by running warm water before adding hot contents. Soda-lime glass should never go from freezer to oven-let it come to room temperature first.
When stacking, leave lids a quarter-turn loose to prevent pressure buildup during temperature changes. Tighten fully only when contents are at the same temperature as storage.
In our evaluation, lid seal quality mattered more than glass thickness for long-term performance-a poor seal leads to moisture, odors, or lost coins even in the thickest jars.
For coin banks, choose a jar with a wide mouth (3+ inches) so you can easily retrieve bills or use a coin wrapper; narrow necks make withdrawals frustrating.
Frequently asked questions
Are these containers microwave safe?+
Most borosilicate glass containers are microwave safe, but always remove the lid before microwaving. Soda-lime glass jars like the Swear Jar are not microwave safe-check the manufacturer's instructions.
Can I use these for freezing?+
Only borosilicate glass containers are freezer safe. Avoid freezing soda-lime glass as it can crack. Leave 1 inch of headspace for expanding liquids.
How do I remove odors from glass jars?+
Soak the jar with a mixture of baking soda and warm water for 30 minutes, then wash with dish soap. White vinegar also works. Avoid bleach as it can damage silicone gaskets.
Are the lids leak-proof?+
We tested each product by filling with water, tipping sideways, and shaking. All our picks have airtight seals; however, the matte black jar's bamboo lid is not leak-proof for liquids.
Can I put these in the dishwasher?+
Yes, but we recommend placing glass containers on the top rack and using a gentle cycle. Hand washing the lids preserves the silicone gaskets longer. The Oversized Swear Jar's printed design may fade in high heat.
