![]() ![]() We were told by Jane Cook, then chief scientist at the Corning Museum of Glass, that stacking glass can cause stress over time because the two hard surfaces rub together, and this may eventually lead to chipping. ![]() (Several reviewers also mentioned that their containers chipped after they nested them for storage. But they also put pressure on the edge of the glass, which, according to the glass experts we spoke with, may be causing stress that results in breakage. The Glasslock containers’ tight-fitting lids keep food fresher longer. Like a lot of glass containers we considered, these have a history of chipping over time (although many Wirecutter staffers report no issues after years of use). We recommend the Glasslock 18-Piece Container Set only if you want a glass set that’s leakproof. So if a set is sold as 14 pieces or 16 pieces, you’re really getting only seven or eight containers. Keep in mind that most manufacturers include both the containers and the lids in the total set count. Although price was a factor when we made our pick, we also considered that glass containers will last a long time. Containers in a set are generally less expensive per piece.
