10 Reviews: Best Locking Food Containers (Apr 2024)

Snapware’s Total Solution Glass range proved entirely impermeable if you’re searching for glass containers that can keep food fresh for a long time (say, if you’re placing meals in the freezer for long-term storage). Just keep in mind that the locking lids are plastic, so use plastic wrap or waxed paper as a barrier to minimize stains when you microwave. Additionally, the leak-proof lids with four locking tabs are BPA-free and top-rack dishwasher safe.

I had a brand of locking food containers but I could never get the snaplocks to snap in place. I need a securely locked food container to bring to work and these are perfect. All four sides have snaplocks that snap easily into place and prevent any spills during travel.

These food storage containers are totally see-through, stack effortlessly, and are ideal for packing on the go since they are light, robust, and leakproof. They include an airtight seal that snaps close for added protection. They come in a variety of sets and sizes that are ideal for storing in your pantry or packing salads with mix-ins. Some containers include detachable compartments, depending on what you wish to put within.

Locks super tight, even for soup. The clips pop open and act as vents for the microwave. Handles the microwave and dishwasher fantastically. Plan on using these for a long time??

Rubbermaid TakeAlongs are one of the most budget-friendly containers that you won’t have to worry about leaving behind at picnics or potlucks. TakeAlongs are convenient to use inside and outside the house since they are made of high-quality, lightweight materials and have a tight seal. What’s more, since these containers are available in a broad range of shapes and sizes, they are an excellent match for any food storage need.

These are very nice, thru out my assorted containers save from various products and installed these. !

These containers received high marks in the test for keeping air out and freshness in. They’re constructed of glass and can withstand temperatures of up to 425ºF in the oven. The lids are transparent with a flexible edge that will not crack over time. The lids are textured, and the side lip aids in opening and closing. It will not warp, stain, or retain odors, nor will it leach harmful chemicals into food. Also. let’s appreciate their flattering color!

I love these! They nest inside each other and the lids stack nicely. They clean easily. I can use them in the freezer, fridge or pop them in the microwave. I highly recommend them.

These rectangular glass dishes are ideal for marinating food before transferring it to the grill to cook. When the meal is done, they can be utilized as serving platters with covers to keep the food warm and the bugs at bay. The containers stack and include handles to make transporting them easier. They’re also light enough to carry to the table and then back inside for keeping leftovers and reheating in the same container.

I use these almost every day. love the locking lids. great deal.

The Snapware Total Solution containers and lids offer a tight seal, preventing freezer burn and leaking even after a run through the dishwasher. These containers are more likely to remain shut with the locking tabs. As a result, we believe that the Snapware set is the best choice among our recommendations if you want to prepare your lunch ahead of time and take your container from the fridge on your way out the door.

Best storage containers ever. The seal keeps food fresh. Good and sturdy with locking tops that seal fantastically.

The silicone-covered outside of these glass containers makes them slip-proof and helps keep the outside cool for handling right out of the microwave. Their rectangular form stacks nicely in the fridge, making them great for meal prep and on-the-go consumption. They can be microwaved or cooked in the oven without a cover, and they are also dishwasher safe. Additionally, all components are BPA-free.

I LOVE THESE! They lock easy, very easy to clean & durable. I wasn’t sure about buying after some of the reviews, but I’m so happy I did. They are in the microwave everyday & haven’t had any issues. Worth the money!

Glasslock is constructed of silica, soda ash, limestone, and other natural components, thus it is BPA-free and recyclable. The plastic lids contain a solid silicone gasket that fills the lid groove from edge to edge and offers a leak-proof seal. The Glasslock walls are sturdy yet see-through, and containers of the same shape and size nest even with the lids on. These containers stack well in the fridge, making it simple to see what leftovers you have.

I have purchased other cheaper brands and more expensive and these ones last the longest and the lids fit the tightest. The bottom line really is that the lids fit perfectly and I am now brand loyal to Glass Lock for lidded glas containers

OXO’s POP containers now have a fresh look. The lids are one-handed: just push the button down to create an airtight seal. The lids are now slimmer, simpler to clean, and dishwasher safe. Some containers also hold accessories, such as the pictured half-cup scoops, which reside within the container so you always have one on hand for measuring dry products. This Baking Set is designed to hold a five-pound bag of flour and sugar.

This set is very nice. Love the scoops and how they lock into the kids. Absolutely love how you can see not only what is in the container but how much is left. No guess work. The terracotta for the brown sugar works well. Brown sugar stays perfect.

The kSafe timed locking function assists you in breaking undesirable habits by helping you in building the willpower to resist temptation. Once configured, the kSafe locking timed container will not be able to be reopened until the timer reaches zero. The timed safe can be set for up to ten days and serves as an external motivator to reduce your addictions and develop habits that will help you live a better life. If you want a bigger size, just lock your stuff in a drawer and place the key in your kSafe.

My husband and I bought this to keep ourselves from ordering junk food late at night. It works so well! It's already paid for itself. We simply lock our cash and all our credit and debit cards up during the afternoon while we still have willpower, and set it to not open till the next morning. We're already losing weight!
