I use these to take my food to work each day. I chose this product for what it is NOT - plasic (it is not safe to microwave food in plastic containers). I've done a bit of research on this and haven't found any better product out there for my purposes.
I'm pleased with the usability of these bowls - good sizes, not too heavy, easy to clean. The lids stay on tight, I have never had a problem with transport. I carry the food, heat it and eat it all out of these bowls. I've started using these to store food at home as well, so I'll probably buy a second set.

I hope these things are airtight because I just bought my fourth set. I don't buy the freezer storage containers because I own these. They can be used in cooking and freezing so I save on pricey disposable freezer bags. The little ones I use to store one package each of corn starch, yeast, baking powder, baking soda, three hamburger patties and to prepare, freeze and bake individual sized servings of salmon fillets.
The medium ones and the large ones are for leftovers, soup fixings, freezer meals, steaming chicken, fruit salad et al.
I'm ten percent tempted to try out the rectangular ones because some foods I don't want to freeze in a stack but I don't think I would get as much use out of them as I do these round ones. I really would like to buy a fifth set but I won't. I rarely have more than one or two empty ones to spare. These get used all the time. I really didn't like using plastic wrap or aluminum foil to refrigerate food. These lids are more secure and therefore I am less stressed.
p.s. I am on my SIXTH ORDER but I am starting to lose count. Oh, wow. These things are so good. I use them for salmon apportioned with my expensive knife, I steam curries, Thanksgiving leftovers. The little ones get used all the time. None of the sizes are gathering dust. This is a great product and with lids averages out to about $3 or less per set so pick the set that is priced no higher than $3 per bowl with lid. SOMEDAY, I hope to make English trifle in these.

I bought these to expand my collection of these bowls. They are good for taking lunch to work, and storing things in the fridge. The plastic lids can pick up smells sometimes (like ALL plastic except melamine), but putting on plastic wrap before putting on the lid can help. (Make sure the plastic wrap is pushed lower than the top of the bowl, so that the lid can be level instead of rounding up in the middle.) Otherwise, I have no complaints, and have used some of these bowls for at least 3 years.

These are AWESOME! My family uses them for lunches on a daily basis for lunches and leftovers for 2 years and they still work and look great. We even put them in the dishwasher.
2-cup are great for small appetites, 4-cup for my husbands larger meals.
Highly recommended!!!!
Round is better than rectangular February 15, 2008

I purchase this set because they are all round bowls. Pyrex makes good glass containers but the plastic lids usually won't last as long as the bowl itself. I used to purchase sets with both round and rectangular shaped containers. After only a few months, the rectangle lids started to worn out. However, all the round ones stayed in good shape for years. It's not doing good to be storage containers when you don't have the lids. My wife also finds this is true to the Corning brand. Thereforre, if the durability of the lids is a main concern for you, this is the set you should have.
