Glass or plastic food containers?

Glass resists stains and odors and many pieces are oven-safe, but it is heavier and can break. Plastic is light and cheap, but stains and warps more easily. Check each product's own heat and dishwasher guidance.

Can I put glass containers in the freezer?

Many can, but leave room for food to expand and avoid sudden temperature changes. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for that container.
