The Kitchn’s senior lifestyle editor, Quinn Fish, recently wrote about her new favorite glass food storage containers, and it’s got me reconsidering all my plastic containers. So, I took to the internet to find a new set that was both affordable and made of glass. It took me only a few minutes to find just what I was looking for. 

What You Should Know About the Vtopmart Glass Food Storage Container Set

Vtopmart sells all sorts of organizers for the home, including for makeup and drawers, along with glass food containers. This particular set is the only one on Amazon with bamboo lids (other sets from the brand contain plastic lids). So if you, like me, are trying to get away from using plastic in your kitchen, this is the set for you.

The containers are made from durable borosilicate glass, which is also dishwasher-safe. The lids are bamboo and should be hand-washed, though at least one reviewer loads them on the top rack of their dishwasher. The lids also double as small cutting boards, which is especially convenient when meal-prepping.

Vtopmart Glass Food Storage Containers with Bamboo Lids at Amazon

The set of four dishes with lids is $31.99 on Amazon, or $7.99 for one lid and container. As it turns out, I’m not the only one adding this container set to my cart; shoppers bought more than 1,000 of them in just the past month!

What Amazon Shoppers Are Saying

Average Rating: 4.3/5

“This set is amazing for the price! Great for leftovers.” —P Reed

“Love these glass containers. They are a convenient size and sturdy. The covers are hand-wash only and seal well. There is a silicone ring used for sealing, but love that there is no plastic. Will definitely buy more.” —Amazon Customer

“I love the storage capacity and the aesthetic of them in my cabinet. What really makes it five stars is that the top can be used as a cutting board.” —Jewel
