Anyday Anydeli Mixed Set

5.0

5 sourcesall derived$46as of Oct 2

The Anyday Anydeli Mixed Set offers a non-toxic, platinum-cured silicone alternative to traditional plastic deli containers, effectively eliminating microplastic exposure. Thekitchn found that the universal vented lids with detachable flaps allow for safe microwave reheating without splatter or warping, while apartmenttherapy highlighted their durability across freezing and high-heat applications. However, nymag noted that these containers are bulkier than standard plastic versions and do not nest closely together in cabinets, requiring more storage space when empty. This set fits home cooks prioritizing safety and versatility over compact storage, but those with limited pantry real estate should look elsewhere.

Strengths

— Made of non-toxic, platinum-cured silicone that is free from microplastics and BPA
— Vented lids with detachable flaps allow for safe microwave reheating without splatter or warping
— Universal lid design fits all three container sizes (1-cup, 2-cup, and 4-cup)

Watch-outs

— Bulkier profile than traditional plastic deli containers despite holding identical volumes
— Do not nest as closely together in cabinets compared to standard plastic versions

Ranked #4 in Best Food Storage Containers

Pyrex Tinted Glass Food Storage Set

4.5

5 sourcesall derived

The Pyrex Simply Store set features durable borosilicate and soda-lime glass that resists staining, odors, and breakage from drops. Thekitchn noted its versatility for tasks ranging from prepping ingredients to baking casseroles, while foodandwine highlighted the leakproof seals and space-saving nestable design. However, thespruceeats found a critical flaw: despite advertising claims, the lids are not microwave-safe and can warp or melt under heat. Additionally, the thick glass becomes too hot to handle after microwaving without protection. This set fits users seeking long-lasting, multi-use storage who prioritize durability over convenience, but those needing fully microwaveable components should look elsewhere.

Strengths

— Durable borosilicate and soda-lime glass construction resists breakage, staining, and odor absorption.
— Versatile design allows use for food prep, oven baking, freezing, microwaving, and serving directly to the table.
— Nestable round containers save cabinet space while providing airtight seals that keep food fresh longer.

Watch-outs

— Lids are not microwave-safe despite some advertising, as heat can cause warping or melting.
— Glass containers become very hot to the touch during microwaving, requiring pot holders for removal.

How they stack up

Anyday Anydeli Mixed Set

Unlike the plastic-based Joseph Joseph Nest Lock set, which prioritizes nesting efficiency to save cabinet space, the Anyday Anydeli Mixed Set uses bulkier silicone that does not nest closely. It differs from Pyrex glass sets by offering a non-toxic alternative free from microplastics and BPA, whereas Pyrex relies on borosilicate or tempered glass construction.

Pyrex Tinted Glass Food Storage Set

The Pyrex Tinted Glass set uses borosilicate and soda-lime glass for durability against breakage and staining, differing from the Rubbermaid Brilliance set which is made of BPA-free Tritan plastic that scratches easily. While both sets offer oven-safe bases, the Pyrex lids are explicitly noted as not microwave-safe due to warping risks, similar to the Snapware lids but distinct from the Anyday silicone lids which are microwave-safe.
