MerryNine Glass Food Storage Containers 10-Pack (1040ml & 370ml) with Airtight Leakproof Lids
Product description
The essentials
If you’re trying to make meal prep and leftovers feel a bit more organised, a glass container set like this one is designed for exactly that: clear, reusable storage with sealed lids, in two practical sizes. The MerryNine pack includes 10 containers overall—five larger at 1040ml and five smaller at 370ml—plus five colourful lids intended to make it quicker to identify what’s what in your fridge.
On paper, the appeal is straightforward. Glass containers can help avoid the usual “plasticky” downsides people associate with some food storage over time (odours, staining, and certain wear issues). And the lids here are built to be leak-resistant rather than just “snap shut”, which matters if you store soups, sauces, marinades, or packed lunches.
That said, it’s not a one-size-fits-all upgrade for everyone. Glass is heavier than many plastic options, so if you mainly need lightweight grab-and-go containers, you may still find yourself using something else more often.
What stands out in everyday use
The colour-coded lids are one of the most noticeable touches. Instead of digging around to figure out which container holds what, different lid colours are set up to represent categories such as raw, cooked, spicy, cold, and so on. It’s a small feature, but it can reduce the usual fridge rummage.
There’s also a ventilation hole on the lid designed to help with opening. The idea is that it addresses the common problem of pressure difference between inside and outside air—so the lid is easier to release with a simple pull. It’s a practical detail for anyone who meal preps, re-heats, or stores warm food before chilling.
Airtight & leakproof design, with a realistic limitation
The lids use a 4-hinge locking mechanism and silicone seals, positioned as airtight and leakproof. The description also notes that there are no spills even when tipped upside down, which is the kind of reassurance that appeals if you transport food in bags or stack containers.
Do keep in mind, though: “leakproof” is always best considered relative to good lid alignment and normal household handling. If a lid isn’t properly seated or if you overfill, any container system can underperform. So it’s worth taking a minute to check the seal closure the first few times.
Oven, microwave, freezer, dishwasher: where it fits
This set is built for multi-scenario kitchen use. The lids are BPA-free, and the containers are described as suitable for: - Microwave use (with the lid removed) - Freezer storage (stated down to -20°C) - Oven use (stated up to 220°C) - Dishwasher cleaning
That range makes it a sensible choice if you want one container system that travels through prep, storage, and reheating without constantly swapping between different tools.
A micro example: say you batch-cook a tray of chilli and portion it into the 1040ml containers. You can store it straight in the fridge, reheat later in the microwave by removing the lid, and then wash everything in the dishwasher afterwards. The smaller 370ml ones can handle lunches or side portions without leaving huge gaps.
Key takeaways (who it’s for)
It makes sense if you: It makes sense if you want glass containers with sealed, easy-to-identify lids for meal prep, leftovers, and pantry organisation. The split between 1040ml and 370ml is handy too—you can match portions more naturally rather than forcing everything into one size.
It may not suit you if you: It might not be a great match if you need the lightest possible containers, or if you’re not keen on glass in day-to-day use. Also, since microwave use requires lid removal, it’s not the “press and heat” experience some users expect.

Is it worth it?
A solid pick if your priority is sealed glass storage that can move between freezer, microwave (lid off), and oven, while keeping your fridge and meal prep looking organised thanks to colour-coded lids. If you often store wet foods like soups, sauces, or marinades, the leak-resistant lid design is the main reason to consider this set.
Better avoided if you mainly want lightweight containers, or if you’d rather not remove lids before microwaving. And like any glass system, you’ll want to treat it with a bit of care—because it’s glass, not thin plastic.
