Borosilicate glass containers with lids made of silicone/glass are the way to go, IMO. Pyrex makes these and calls them Pyrex Ultimate. It's a completely plastic-free solution so it's great for meal prep and reheating via microwave. Granted, they don't lock closed, but the lids stay on pretty well. I wouldn't expect these to warp or chip unless you maybe drop one.

Interesting - in the United States these are tempered and not borosilicate.

I wonder if they have multiple versions of this product elsewhere? (as I know Pyrex now apparently sells very different products in different countries.)

As far as I know, made in USA is tempered, made in France is borosilicate. You can tell the difference easily by the blue hue in the glass.

Those honestly look perfect. I was hoping for a plastic free option and was only seeing bamboo kids earlier.
