As we all know by now, certain plastic food storage containers (recycle #7) can unfortunately leach Bisphenol-A (BPA) into liquids and food. For safe food storage, especially warm food – I prefer eco-friendly glass. Under proper conditions and use, glass can be microwave, oven, freezer, and dishwasher safe. Extra perk – you can easily discern what’s stored in each container in your fridge. Here are a few good glass food storage options you might want to try:

via Amazon – Anchor Hocking – with a rich made in the USA heritage, they manufacture wonderful food prep, baking, serving and organizing lines comprised of lead-free glass and BPA-free lids – perfect for heating (note FAQ) or storing homemade chili, stews or soups. Look for their traditional tempered glass bake ‘n store 2- 5 cup options, or their new TrueFit bake ‘n store clear glass line, (pictured above).

via Amazon – Walter Drake – company founded in 1947 in Colorado Springs, Colorado by … Walter Drake, a pioneer in direct mail.  I like the rectangular shapes for maximizing available refrigerator space. And they provide maximum versatility; you can multi-task with them and save extra cupboard space: serve, store, freeze or heat.

via Amazon – Glasslock – oven-safe tempered glass pieces or BPA-free plastic sets … made in Korea; also sold at various retailers, ie BBB, Target & Home Goods.
