Disappointed

"I have a similar set from many years ago... still doing great. I asked for this set as a replacement to broken pieces from the earlier set... LIDS DO NOT SEAL in food well... they bubble up, come lose, and just don't secure food well. So disappointed."

Great, simple storage

"I bought this exact set of glass storage bowls from C&B (online, of course) back in 2006, and they are still going strong... except for the next-to-largest bowl, which broke after endless use. I bought another set, mostly just to replace that one bowl, and was happy to see the same bowls, shipped the same way, and at the same price, no less.
Strongest recommendation!"

One chipped

"I've used these set for about a year now and I store them stacked in my cabinets. I was pulling one out to use and it was kinda stuck in there and it chipped as I pulled it. So now I'm down to 3 bowls and a little leary about using the rest. Also, because the lid is a white, it can stain more easily than other similar storage lids I have."

Love these!

"I've used these bowls for over a year now and are one of the best purchases I've made!
They have been in the freezer and microwave several times without issues (since they are glass, you do need to be careful of sudden temperature changes)...when I take them from the freezer, I microwave using lower power at more time (defrost) to avoid this. The only chips or breaks that have occurred were from my own clumsiness.
I also have several other sizes of this product and have noticed that the lids will tend to lose their snug fit over time, especially after being heated in the microwave (I don't have a dishwasher, but would image the heat from it would do the same).
Overall I have been very satisfied and will be buying more in the future.
Go green!"

Best bowls ever

"Received a set of these bowls for Christmas a couple of years ago, and they are terrific. I have not used them for freezing or microwaving, so I can't comment on that, but for serving and storing leftovers they are fantastic. Every time I use them for company, someone always asks where I got them. They look beautiful and with the 4 sizes, I always seem to have the perfect sized bowl for the job!!"

Reuse! Reheat!

"Great product! Perfect assortment of sizes and great lids! Product can stack inside each other for easy cabinet storage when not in use! Highly recommend this product. Hoping it will last and last! I have no doubts that it will! Go Green!"

Bad buy - will crack after microwaving

"I received these bowls as a registry gift. I got them with the intention that I could use them to store leftovers in and then reheat the leftovers in the same bowl (without all the worries of reheating in a plastic container). BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! The first time I heated up leftovers in this bowl in the microwave, the bowl cracked once I pulled it out and set it on the counter. It seems the contrast in temperature (hot food / room temp counter) makes these bowls crack. If you have any intention of reheating food in these bowls, DO NOT BUY!"

2nd set...

"Perfect! Use them ALL the time for EVERYTHING! I often cook large batches of foods such as Gumbo, Turkey Chili, Beef Stroganoff, etc for scheduled houseguests. I love that I can do all the tedious prep work and cooking at my convenience then freeze it in the 100 oz (that's a gallon and a half of liquid!) Good for so much more than storage! Great for making and serving salads, serving dishes on the buffet or table, etc. Clean style looks great! Leftovers? Pop on the lid, stick it in the fridge and get back to your guests! Oh. Did I say I LOVE these bowls? Got rid of everything else and work with two sets of these. Now what to do with all the empty cabinet space?!"

Excellent product!

"My husband gave me this set for Christmas last year, and it was a GREAT gift! We use them daily, and the lids fit perfectly! I usually wash the lids by hand, but have tossed them in the dishwasher, too. They've worked well in both the freezer and the microwave. Highly recommend them, and bought an extra set as a bridal shower gift."

Lids don't fit

"My husband and I received these storage bowls for our wedding. When we tried to use them we discovered that the lids didn't fit properly. We can't get them to stay on any of the bowls. Sorry to say these will be going back."

Potentially fabulous, but disappointing

"We registered for these and received them as wedding gifts. The variety of sizes is terrific and useful. They claim to be freezer and microwave safe, but my experience is that they are NOT. Like a previous poster, one of them cracked after being reheated in the microwave. Another shattered from the center outward in pie-slice shapes after being in the freezer. They did replace the freezer one, but we had thrown away the pieces for the microwave one so I didn't even ask. I'll keep using glass storage but it won't be these containers."

Durable and Useful!

"I love these! We got them for our wedding as a gift and we use them all the time. They probably get more use than anything else in the kitchen. I love how they stack up for storage. I have the rectangular set too and I plan to add more because they are so fabulous.
My favorite thing is that they are super easy to clean and because they are glass and not plastic, they still look brand new! They don't stain and you can throw them in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. (I put the lids in the top rack, but after years, they still hold up and fit just fine).
We ALMOST bought these for a friend's wedding shower last weekend, but went with something else off their registry instead. We may just get these for the actual wedding, they are too versatile and useful to pass up!
(My only complaint is that I wish you could bake directly in these, so they could go from oven to table to fridge, but as durable, gorgeous, long-lasting storage, they are fantastic!)

Built To Last

"I have had this set for over 5 years and despite being in and out of the dishwasher a few times a week the lids still fit perfectly. They are my go to storage bowls for marinating, and still function like the day I bought them. A great quality item.
One thing to note though. Do not store a chocolate cake in them overnight on your balcony in the winter. A squirrel can chew right through the lid. Trust me on this!
When I called customer service and told them the story they sent me a replacement lid.
Lucky squirrel."

Chip way too easily

"I love the idea of these bowls. They are light, functional, great covers but unfortunately ALL of mine have chipped. I received two sets off my wedding registry just last year and they are no longer any good. I would recommend Pyrex instead."

Disappointed

"I have had these bowls (and the square set) for about 2 years. I love the different sizes and the lids. Unfortunately most of them have chipped. I will be replacing them with tempered glass containers."

Not So Microwave Safe

"I loved these bowls until one of them (5.25") cracked in half after being microwaved (no lid) for only one minute. They're nice but shouldn't claim to be microwave safe."

Great purchase

"I have owned these for a few months now and still can't believe how great they are. I love that they stack inside each other, we have limited storage space in our kitchen. I never have to go searching for lids, that is so great. So far I haven't had any problem with staining either, the lids are a nice sheer white and I hope they stay that way! Very practical!"

"I love these bowls and am going back for another set.
They are the perfect sizes. The bowls wash well in the dishwasher and even come out sparkly clean (no water spots)!"
