The glass containers I’ve used from Rubbermaid with the press in lids, the lids stopped fitting after a while. They’re still useful bowls but inside of 6 months they just weren’t really storage containers anymore. Leak too much and the lids seem to like popping out. The Pyrex ones just didn’t work at all. The lids were either so loose they didn’t do the thing. Or so tight you couldn’t keep em on there. Depending on which set/piece.
You need the ones with the locking lids, little clicky levers and a silicon gasket. Seem to be the only thing that gets a really good seal on glass without being a complete pain to squeeze on there. I have absolutely no clue where our current set came from, some brand my sister in law swears by. And she was the one who gifted them to us.
But the hinges on the locks can wear and break through. And its possible for the gasket to fail. Neither of which has happened to any of ours. Replacement lids seem easy to find though, and interchangeable between brands. And trying to figure out which god damn ones we have I spotted a few brands that are straight up oven to freezer borosilicate in the way that modern Pyrex just isn’t.
That also tends to be what to look for in BPA free plastic containers. Since they don’t seal well without the BPA to make things soft and seal friendly like old Tupperware. Got a bunch of both running around.
