LibbeySmall Glass Bowls with Lids, 6.25-ounce, Set of 8

Great glass containers and great price.

I'm not an organized cook. I'm usually rushing to cut or chop up something or look for and measuring spices, etc. in the middle of cooking.So, these, for me at least, have been perfect. They hold about 4 oz. and they seal very well. I've pre-chopped onions, garlic, ginger and stored them in my refrigerator for recipes I want to make in the next day or two. The lids are tight and they never leave an odor in the refrigerator. I've used plastic storage containers but they are generally larger than what I need and the chopped veggies don't seem to last as long as they do in these little glass cups. Plus, I don't have alot of counter space and these take up very little. SInce they are all the same size and stack well I don't have to work around them. Makes pre-assembly and organizing ingredients easy and makes cooking alot less stressful .

I bought these bowls to use for pudding, instead of buying the pre-made cups at the store. They're perfect for that purpose. I can whip up a batch, pour it into the cups in equal servings, and throw them in the fridge with the lid on. And I'm sure I'll find lots of other uses for these little guys, as they're a good size for many things. The lids are nice and snug. The cups clean up easily in the dishwasher. And I like the look of the ribs/rings better than some others that I've seen out there. If I break any of these, I'd definitely buy these again to replace the broken ones.

I've purchased 5 sets of these classy glass bowls. I hate eating from or heating food in plastic containers. The portion size is perfect even for my 3 year grandson and my 89 year old Mother. I've prepared and frozen meals including ice cream in these bowls. I remove the lids before heating in the microwave. I haven't used them in the oven so I can't say if it's safe to do so. These containers are not made from tempered glass, I don't think heating frozen foods straight from the freezer into your microwave or oven would be advisable. Overall I would definitely recommend this product.

I just ordered my second set of these wonderful little glass bowls with plastic lids. Great for busy people to make freeze ahead portions of meat to then thaw and eat w/ fresh veggies throughout the week. Saves $ and time. Great for leftovers, small dessert bowls, cooking prep bowls, so many uses! (These are lighter weight, more storable (stack inside each other), and more useful than the Ball 8 oz. Elite canning jars I was previously using for all these things.)I've had no trouble w/ lids not fitting or anything cracking or chipping. (Don't have a dishwasher, so not exposed to high heat.) I do avoid packing these right up to touching the lid to minimize BPA or other toxic chemical leaching into food in the freezer.One caveat: the lids are not leakproof. If the container tips at all with any liquid inside, it will seep out. So to take a container for lunch to work, I wrap it in a paper towel and securely twist it inside a repurposed plastic produce or grocery bag.Disappointed that these are now made in Mexico. Come on, Libbey, bring the production back to the USA!
