Kinetic Go Green GlassLock 6 Piece Sets

Square Storage Container

Kinetic Go Green GlassLock 6 Piece Sets

Product Description
Sleek and stylish, this set of three food-storage containers makes an eco-friendly choice for preserving perishables, stashing dry goods, reheating leftovers, and more. The units feature clear, tempered-glass bases that resist staining and allow for a quick view of inside contents, while their low-profile, square shapes save space by stacking neatly with other containers.

Equipped with four locking tabs, the containers' durable plastic lids sport air- and water-tight silicone seals that ensure spill-proof use, even when filled to the brim with liquids or sloshy soups.

Best of all, their non-toxic, non-reactive construction ensures that nothing transfers to food during reheating, which means they can be safely transported from the freezer or refrigerator to the microwave without compromising food's quality or nutrition. Top-rack dishwasher-safe, each 17-ounce container measures approximately 5 by 5 by 3 inches.

Size: 17 Ounce, Square
  • Set of 3 square 17-ounce food-storage containers for storing dry goods and perishables
  • Stain-resistant tempered-glass construction for clear-view convenience
  • Locking plastic lids with air- and water-tight silicone seals and snap-down side buckles
  • Safe for use in the microwave, freezer, refrigerator, and dishwasher (top rack recommended)
  • Measures approximately 5 by 5 by 3 inches each

Customer review

By Maiziell
The quality of these containers is very good; the glass nice and heavy and the lids fit very well. What wasn't apparent to me from the picture was that the lids have large tabs that snap down on all four sides, a very nice feature. 

These aren't the hugest of containers (I have their larger set, which is also great.) but they are perfect for small amounts of leftovers, and what my husband likes best, for making and keeping tuna salad (regular size cans). I've taken to not putting plastic lids from any of my glass storage bowls in the dishwasher since my Pyrex lids started to disintegrate from that environment; that did take awhile, but replacement lids are hard to come by so I'm not taking a chance with these. 

Another feature I like about these is that they are square and take up less space in the fridge. They don't stack into each other in the cupboard well, but given everything that I like about them, that is easily overlooked. Highly recommended!

Customer review:
By Avidbaker (New Jersey)
I love these containers. I filled one of the smaller ones with jelly beans and gave it for a house gift and the recipient was thrilled. I use the larger ones for flour and sugar and they are perfect - wide opening so it's easy to get a measuring cup in there, seals shut so everything stays fresh, easy to open with one hand like when you're talking on the phone while baking. I'll probably try some of the other sizes soon. 

By Martin Fowler "MJF" (California USA)
These are excellent for keeping staple products. Bought to replace 5 quart mason jars for storing flour, etc. that my wife disliked becasue they were too heavy and difficult to use They are easy to clean, provide an tight seal and are light-weight. The full-size opening makes getting measuring cups in-out a breeze. Strongly recommended.
