I Ditched Stained Plastic for Rubbermaid’s Glass Containers – They’re Non-Toxic, Leakproof, and Never Absorb Smells

There is no denying that glass food storage is superior. They are better for our long-term health, higher quality and therefore more durable than plastic, and simply look nicer in our kitchens.

However, they often come at a premium price, making it tricky to overhaul your kitchen storage on a budget. Luckily, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days make this upgrade easier on the wallet, with $20 off the nine-piece Rubbermaid Brilliance Glass Food Storage Set.

Leakproof, airtight, and free from BPA, these glass containers are some of the best for keeping food fresh and transferring from the fridge to the oven seamlessly.

Designed with overhauls in mind, the Rubbermaid glass container set is usually nearly $80, making it an eye-watering consideration when trying to make a kitchen less toxic. That is what makes the Amazon Prime Day sale so convincing, dropping the set below $60 for the first time in months.

The complete set serves three great purposes. Firstly, they make meal prep easier, with several same-sized containers ideal for portioning out meals for reheating over several days. The second is easy leftover storage, with a stackable design that makes organizing a refrigerator a breeze, and finally, they are perfect for on-the-go lunches, with leakproof lids that take the stress out of transporting food in your bag all day.

Made entirely from glass, the containers are suitable for the fridge, freezer, microwave, and oven, so you do not need to decant dishes and create extra washing up when moving from one step to the other. The lids are microwave-safe, too, with built-in steam vents for perfect yet safe results every time. I would never use anything else in my home.

Glass is also both odor- and stain-resistant, so you can bid goodbye to that embarrassing scratched plastic tub still stained with pasta sauce no matter how hard you scrub. These dishwasher-safe glass alternatives take the stress out of cleaning up, and stack neatly in your drawers and cabinets after use, too.
