Pyrex Simply Store Set

Pyrex has been making glass food storage since 1915. The Simply Store line is their meal prep workhorse — a 10-piece set (5 containers, 5 lids) costs about $20-25. The soda-lime glass is thicker and more durable than borosilicate competitors, though it's not oven-safe. The blue lids are BPA-free and microwave-safe with the vent open. They nest for storage, stack in the fridge without toppling, and survive being dropped on tile floors better than you'd expect. Over a century of production means replacement parts are always available.
