Product Insights
The Duralex Square Bowl With Lid is a tempered glass bowl that resists thermal shock of at least 130°C, breaking into non-sharp granules, and is free of BPA, lead, and cadmium. Its stackable design allows nesting with lids on for efficient fridge storage. Since 2024, Duralex operates as a worker-owned cooperative, with Origine France Garantie and EPV labels and 99% domestic raw materials. The design is MoMA-featured and used in Michelin-starred kitchens, with users reporting decades of daily use without degradation. The 610 ml bowl suits single servings and is versatile for prep, serving, and storage. However, the BPA-free plastic lid lacks a silicone seal, so it is not leak-proof for liquids and best for dry or semi-solid foods.

User mentions Duralex as a good option for glass leftover containers with lids
IKEA or Duralex. Not sure either has *rubber* lids, but they have good lids for fridge storage. I think Anchor Hocking makes a series with rubber lids.

User loves Duralex glass bowls for their durability and stackability
I love my Duralex glass bowls. So incredibly durable and they stack! If you're looking for something more decorative, I've started collecting the Fattoria mixing bowls from Casafina. I use them for basically everything from prep to serving.

User reports 23 years of daily use with Duralex glass bowls, still perfect
I've had a set of 9 Duralex glass bowls ($28) for 23 years. Use them every day, and they're still perfect. They are sturdy enough to mix/cook in but styled well enough to look good on the dinner table. Among my top half-dozen best buys ever.
