Reply to Pyrex, GlassLock, or Anchor Hocking food storage? by OpALbatross

The benefit of the round Pyrex or anchor hocking ones is that the lids are somewhat standard and you can buy replacements. Even better, you can buy silicone replacements which last longer and work as well. The glass lock are better if you need it airtight (liquids or it’s going to get jostled in a lunch box), and those usually stack too which is nice

The Anchor Hocking and Pyrex are pretty much identical. I have both and they’re interchangeable. The tops don’t last forever but the bottoms are bulletproof. You can call Anchor Hocking and complain. They’ll give you new tops. Another bonus is using them as soup bowls if you’re going to microwave soup. I use the big ones if I’m making a big salad for myself.

I have Pyrex and Glasslock for food storage. The Glasslock are a year or two older but the lids on a couple of the most-used Pyrex containers had to be replaced first. A couple of my Glasslock lids are about to break though, the locking tabs are starting to break off after a few years of use. I do put them in the dishwasher. Both companies offer replacement lids, though. The glass has held up find on both brands.

I’d recommend you buy the ones that are the best size and shape for your needs. Most of the Glasslock containers are fairly deep, I added Pyrex because they have a shallower rectangle that’s easier to pack a few in a lunchbox.
