However, we noticed that the containers were often too hot to handle after a couple of minutes or more in the microwave, so it’s best to safely remove them with pot holders. We tested our containers up to five minutes in the microwave and they survived just fine. Some online reviewers have reported that their containers shattered after just a few minutes in the microwave. The containers … nestle neatly inside each other, which saved valuable cabinet space in our tiny kitchen. Since the containers are microwave safe, we could easily store, heat up, and eat our meals in the same container. We used the 2.5-cup and 4-cup containers to store three days’ worth of lunches that we prepped in advance for the workweek. We also used these smaller containers to store leftover sauces and salad dressings. During the two weeks that we tested this set, we used the 1-cup and 1.5-cup containers to store unused portions of cans of beans and olives-which incentivized us to make the most out of even the littlest of leftovers-and to store single servings of cherries and chocolate-covered almonds, which encouraged portion control. We found the larger containers to be perfectly sized for both leftover dinners and work lunches, while the smaller containers were ideal for snacks and sauces.

You can store them in the fridge, use them for meal prep, microwave leftovers in them, and even bake with them in the oven-all of which we tested over the course of a couple of weeks. The glass containers are as versatile as they are space-saving.


The containers also nestle neatly inside each other, which saved valuable cabinet space in our tiny kitchen. This feature helped keep our cabinets organized and ensured that we could always find lids when we needed them. Rubbermaid’s “easy-find” BPA-free lids snap on to the bottom of containers when not in use and to each other. This smartly designed 10-piece set includes one 1-cup, two 1.5-cup, one 2.5-cup, and one 4-cup container, each with a coordinating lid. The Spruce Eats / Tierney McAfee Design: Compact and Versatile
