Just wanted to leave a note here that although I love the Duralex bowls that I've had for years, the biggest bowl in this set exploded when we tried to transfer hot food into it from a crockpot. One of the other bowls in the set had a chip in it when we received it. I would recommend that you inspect your glass bowls carefully for flaws before you trust them to hot liquids.
Mighty Nest couldn't have been more helpful and offered a prompt refund. They also said that they've had a number of quality control issues with Duralex lately. Hopefully this is an isolated incident and we can go back to depending on Duralex to deliver the quality that we've grown to expect from them.
Stubborn odors can cling for quite a while, and they will effect aytnhing else you put in the container. What I generally do is rub baking soda on to the bottom and side of the container, let it set for a minute or three, then spray with full strength white vinegar (I keep a spray bottle full of white vinegar, its great for a lot of things). Let the baking soda/vinegar mix do its scrubbing-bubbles thing, then rewash. Once the containers are complete dry give them a sniff. If needed, repeat the process.
I'm going back for my 3rd purchase of more of these containers. I have them in all sizes and use them all the time, mostly for baby food storage. They are not leakproof, but do a great job of going from freezer to microwave to dishwasher. I use removable labels from an office supply store to label the baby food, and the labels come right off. They stack great, so you can have one big stack of all the sizes together. I would give them 5 stars if they didn't leak, but it's not much of a problem the way I usually use them. Most of the truly leakproof glass storage containers I have seen don't stack, so it's a compromise.
Nice bowls but a little bit smaller than I thought, because they are angled inwards at the base. So the top is wider but I needed it to be the size it said at the bottom.
I spent a lot of time looking for glass food storage containers, and these are perfect! I needed food storage that nested well for storage, something that most glass containers don't do very well. These bowls are tapered enough to allow nesting, while being broad enough at the base to allow for easy mixing or eating. They also stack nicely with the lids on. Additionally, the lids are very tight and don't leak, even when the bowls are turned sideways in a lunch bag.
I'll be back for more!
Awesome! Love these storage bowls! Far better than the pyrex that I had been using. Durable, stackable, not too heavy, and I don't worry that they will shatter in to a million little sharp shards of glass if one should break like the pyrex do. Get yourself some in every size! They are excellent!

I love this item because it is glass and the cover seems to be very high quality. I'm hoping it will last a long time!
