FAQs
How long do meal prep bowls last in the fridge?
Most well-prepared meal prep bowls last 3–5 days in the refrigerator when stored in airtight containers. Borosilicate glass containers with tight-sealing glass lids help extend freshness by providing a neutral, odor-resistant storage environment.
Are glass containers better for meal prep than plastic?
Yes. Glass containers do not absorb food odors, do not stain from sauces, and provide a completely neutral material that never leaches chemicals into your food. Borosilicate glass is thermal shock resistant, meaning it can go from fridge to microwave without risk of cracking.
Can you put glass meal prep containers in the microwave?
Yes, borosilicate glass containers are microwave-safe. Unlike plastic, glass never warps, leaches, or releases chemicals when heated. Always open the steam valve before microwaving to release pressure.
What size container is best for meal prep?
For single-serving lunch bowls, a 37oz glass container is the most versatile. For batch cooking or larger portions, a 74oz container works well for 2–3 servings.
