Bake and Take Food Storage Container
Some research suggests even BPA-free plastic containers may still have traces of harmful chemicals. We like this glass alternative, because the food-safe silicon exterior won't touch your food but keeps the glass from breaking enroute. The lid features side button tabs for spill-proof protection while transporting.
