Product Information

Full details

The ATEK Glass Food Storage Container (1065ml) is an ideal choice for home cooks and meal-preppers looking to move away from plastic storage options. Its primary benefit is the combination of highly durable borosilicate glass, which resists cracking and staining, with a specialized lid that ensures your food remains leak-proof and odor-free. While this container offers excellent preservation for a wide variety of meals, users should note that the glass construction adds significant weight and fragility compared to lightweight plastic alternatives, making it less ideal for tossing into a crowded gym bag.

FAQs

Is this container microwave safe?

Yes, the borosilicate glass is safe for microwave use; however, it is recommended to remove the lid or keep it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.

Can I use these in the freezer?

Yes, borosilicate glass is designed to withstand freezer temperatures. Leave some headspace for food expansion when freezing liquids.

Is the lid BPA-free?

Yes, all ATEK storage containers are constructed with food-safe, BPA-free materials.

What is the best way to stack these?

These containers are designed for stable stacking; place the heaviest container at the bottom and avoid putting excessive weight on the lids.

Will the glass crack if I put boiling water in it?

Borosilicate glass has a high thermal shock resistance, but it is always best practice to let extremely hot liquids cool slightly before sealing the container to avoid internal pressure.

Troubleshooting

Lid feels difficult to snap shut

Ensure the silicone gasket is pushed all the way into the lid channel and that no food debris is obstructing the locking tabs.

Container retains an odor despite washing

Remove the silicone gasket from the lid and soak both the gasket and container in a mixture of warm water and baking soda for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to stains and stubborn food odors
  • Large 1065ml capacity is perfect for substantial meals
  • Leak-proof seal prevents spills in lunch bags
  • Non-porous glass material does not leach chemicals into food

Cons

  • Heavier than plastic containers
  • Glass material is susceptible to shattering if dropped on hard surfaces
  • Single capacity size may not suit all portion requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your ATEK container, always check that the silicone seal is properly seated in the lid groove before closing. While the glass is highly durable, avoid extreme, rapid temperature changes (thermal shock), such as taking the container directly from a cold freezer to a preheated oven.

For cleaning, the container is dishwasher safe, but it is recommended to place the lids on the top rack to preserve the integrity of the sealing gasket. When storing, stack carefully to prevent the glass surfaces from clinking together, which can cause micro-cracks over time.
