The 7 Best Glass Storage Containers for the Fridge

Leave it to Rubbermaid to make the best glass storage containers. This Rubbermaid Brilliance glass storage container set comes with three medium-sized containers that hold up to 4.7 cups. And if that’s not the right fit, they also offer packs of one, two and four containers, as well as sizes up to eight cups large.

We love the stackable design of these containers (they help save precious fridge space!). Not to mention the containers are freezer-, microwave- and oven-safe (up to 450 degrees), so they double as serveware, too. The clear lids are 100% airtight and leakproof, so there’s no worrying about spills or spoiled food.

With over 2,000 nearly perfect ratings, Amazon shoppers love the wide variety of storage solutions these containers offer. “Of all the containers on the market, this one takes first place,” writes verified Amazon reviewer Michael Lenett. “For one, the glass does not shatter and break. When I accidentally hit these containers against walls or stone counter tops they didn’t budge. The lids seal perfectly tight. The lid clamps do not break after 10 washes in the dishwasher. The assorted sizes are just perfect.”
