One of the primary advantages of using glass food containers is the health aspect. Glass is non-toxic and does not leach chemicals into food, unlike some plastic containers, especially when heated. Many plastic containers may contain BPA (Bisphenol A) or other harmful chemicals that can migrate into your food over time. Glass containers, on the other hand, are made from inert materials and do not react with food. This makes large glass containers an excellent choice for storing marinated dishes, sauces, and leftovers.
