A few months ago, I went down a rabbit hole about all things plastic. I had never really cared about plastics before — I was aware of the growing research that micro and nano-plastics are everywhere, including our bodies — but for some reason it hadn’t yet become something I was really worried about. Whether it was a full-on anxiety spiral or just the knowledge that I’m getting older and my continued exposure to toxins is something that I should really be proactive about figuring out, I ended up going on somewhat of an antiplastic crusade. I’ve replaced my detergent, worked through my last dryer sheets, stopped using my plastic cup collection, and slowly but surely replaced my plastic food storage containers. 

The food storage containers I currently had were pretty basic and from various stores and retailers. However, the base was glass and the lids were plastic. I knew that this would be another category of items to go, but I couldn’t find an ideal replacement — until now that is. I got my hands on Bentgo and its Signature Glass Food Storage Set, which is made of zero plastic. And you, too, can get your hands on not one, but two of these sets with our buy one, get one at 30% off with free shipping offering. Just use our code: APTBTS when purchasing. Hurry as this deal runs from July 14-20 only.

I own the 10-piece set (five containers and five lids), but it also comes in 4-piece, 6-piece, 8-piece, 14-piece, 16-piece and 18-piece options. The Bentgo Signature Glass Food Storage Set (10 piece) felt unique in that it is the first glass storage set that I’ve ever tried that has glass lids, too, not glass storage with plastic lids. To create a seal, the glass food storage does use a silicone seal or tab paired with a tiny hole in the corner of the lid. You pop the lid on, and you “seal” your food by pressing the tab into the hole.

To take the lid off, you unpop the tab and then remove the lid. It’s as easy as that! Taking the lid on (and off) is actually super satisfying. Though I haven’t microwaved my Bentgo storage yet, the manufacturer says the hole is also ideal for steaming food inside your glass, if that’s your preference. 

The glass storage is also dishwasher-safe and made of borosilicate glass, which is more sturdy than other glass types, which is ideal for someone like me, who is essentially professionally clumsy. They also feel lighter than other glass storage I have, which is great since I’m often carrying them to and from work, and the one (and perhaps only) annoying thing about switching from plastic storage to glass storage is how much heavier glass storage is — especially when I’m carrying notebooks, laptops, and chargers to work. 

The Bentgo Signature Glass Food Storage Set (10 piece) is way more glass than other glass storage options, plus they’re fun to use and lighter than other options, making them great for commuters like me. I like that the storage set is truly stackable — great for my limited kitchen storage in both the shelving units I have and in my fridge. I also like that the set comes in two different shapes (rectangular and circular). 

At the end of the day, though, I still need a glass storage set that replicates the true practicality of restaurant industry plastic quarts and pints, which are also stackable, come in a ton of different sizes, take up so little space in the fridge, and are so lightweight. (I have been eyeing Weck jars to replicate this, but haven’t yet taken the plunge.) If anyone has any suggestions, I’m all ears. 

And don’t forget to use our code APTBTS to be able to get free shipping and a buy one, get one 30% offering. This deal is available now until July 20, 2025.
