S SALIENT 5-pack glass storage containers with lids (borosilicate), airtight & leakproof, BPA-free
Product description
The essentials
If you batch-cook or pack lunches often, storage stops being a side issue pretty quickly. These S SALIENT glass storage containers are designed for meal prep and leftovers, with a lid system meant to be airtight and leakproof. The idea is simple: keep food fresher for longer in the fridge or freezer, then reheat or cook with less faff, using the same container.
On paper, the standout is the borosilicate glass build (marketed as high-strength and resistant to thermal shock). That matters if your routine involves moving food containers from freezer storage straight into a hot oven, or taking them from the microwave to the dinner table without needing to decant into something else.
What it’s for (and where it fits)
This is a 5-pack that comes with two sizes: 5 larger 1050ml containers and 5 medium 640ml containers. The rectangular shape is a practical touch for home storage, because it tends to use fridge and cupboard space more efficiently than round tubs.
It’s the kind of set you buy when you want consistency across your kitchen routine: lunch boxes for the workweek, batch-cooked portions for weeknights, or a tidy way to freeze soups and cooked meals without relying on cling film and takeaway tubs.
Worth considering if you meal prep across multiple stages—mixing, storing, reheating, and freezing—rather than only using containers for one purpose. If you’re mostly looking for something cheap for the occasional leftovers, you may find this slightly over-specified for that job.
Key features that show up in everyday use
The lids use a 4-clip locking design with BPA-free plastic and a silicone seal intended to create a tight seal. In a real kitchen, that’s mainly about confidence: you can stack containers, pop them into a bag for lunch, and reduce the risk of drips when you’re carrying food around.
The glass is said to be easy to clean and not to stain or hold odours the way some plastic alternatives can. If you’ve ever opened a plastic container and been hit with a lingering smell after a tomato-based meal, you’ll understand why that’s more than a marketing line.
Also, the set is described as microwave and oven friendly, and dishwasher safe. That makes it convenient for a busy household, especially if you don’t want to hand-wash multiple containers after every batch-prep session.

Where it shines, and the bit to be cautious about
What stands out most is the all-in-one direction: glass storage that’s intended to handle freezer-to-oven and microwave reheating, plus dishwasher cleaning. If your goal is to reduce containers in your routine (instead of using one thing to freeze, another to reheat, and another to carry), this set makes sense.
That said, do keep in mind that “up to” temperature guidance on paper doesn’t always reflect every user situation. For example, cooking results depend on food type, portion depth, and how you heat it. And with glass, you’ll still want to treat it like glass—avoid rough handling and make sure lids are secured properly before moving containers.
How to get the most from it
A simple approach is to portion meals in the larger 1050ml tubs when you’re cooking for a couple of days, and use the 640ml ones for smaller lunches or single-serve dinners. Because the shape is rectangular, you can stack more neatly in the fridge, which helps if space is tight.
A micro example: cook a batch of curry, cool it briefly, portion into the containers, seal with the clips, then freeze. When it’s lunch time, you can move a container to the microwave for reheating rather than transferring into a different dish first—less washing up, fewer steps.
FAQs
Is this set suitable for meal prep lunches?
Yes, the set is specifically framed around meal prep and storing lunches, leftovers, and batch-cooked meals, with lids designed to be airtight and leakproof.
Can I use these containers for microwave and oven cooking?
The product description states they can be used in the microwave to reheat food evenly and in the oven. It also mentions thermal-shock resistance for moving from freezer to a hot oven, up to a stated temperature.
Are the lids BPA-free and leakproof?
The lids are described as BPA-free plastic, and the lid system (clips plus silicone seal) is intended to be leakproof and airtight.
What about cleaning?
They’re described as dishwasher safe, and the glass is said not to stain or absorb odours like some plastics can.
Final verdict
It’s a solid pick if you want glass food storage that covers the full meal-prep workflow: storing in the fridge or freezer, reheating in the microwave, and using the containers in the oven without switching dishes. The two-size, 10-container total (with rectangular stacking) also suits anyone trying to keep their fridge organised.
It may not be the best choice if you only need containers for occasional leftovers, or if you’re not comfortable with glass in daily use. You may also want to think twice if your routine prioritises ultra-basic storage over multi-purpose reheating and cooking.
As with any sealed container system, the main buying test is whether the lid locking and seal concept matches how you plan to store and transport food. If that fits your routine, these containers look like the type you’ll keep reaching for.
