Looks prettier. glass beauty is the least rational reason to switch from plastic to glass. Glass is simply prettier and more substantial looking than plastic. I wouldn’t dream of putting a plastic container of food on my dining table. Glass food containers retain their crystaline attractiveness forever. Unlike plastic, glass’ non-porous surface doesn’t absorb dyes or colors. You can store Bolognese in pyrex glass bowls one day and put whipped cream in it the next-with no fear of garlicky after notes or greasy red stains.
Keeps food safe. Scientists no longer ask if toxic substances migrate from plastic to food during microwave heating. They ask how much toxins migrate. They ask if you should use plastic to reheat foods for kids, the ill, the elderly. No doubt scientists will continue to duke it out. In the meantime, I prefer to play it safe if not in my house of glass-in a kitchen crammed with glass containers. On another safety note: Glass is cleaner than plastic and it can be safely washed at high temperatures in your dishwasher.
Enhances food flavor. Food simply tastes fresher, cleaner and fuller stored in glass. pyrex glass oven safe, glossy surface repels food odors and residual flavors. And food reheated in glass-whether in a conventional oven or microwave-tastes superior to victuals nuked in plastic. You won’t find plastic’s steamy greenhouse effect-and food has a less soupy consistency and watery mouth feel.
Saves you money.Because glass is usually more expensive than plastic, at first glance, it seems a switch to glass will be more costly. But think about this: Unlike plastic, glass is pretty much a one-time investment. It actually saves you money in the long run.
Eases food prep, serving and clean-up. You’ll find tempered glass food containers:
Reduce food waste-clear containers let you see what’s in the fridge and use up leftovers before they go bad.
Let you safely check food as it reheats-glass’ clarity allows you to see what’s happening without removing food steamer.
Wash-up faster and cleaner-you can safely pop glass into your dishwasher and cleanse at high temperatures.
