Food storage: glass vessels, honest lids

Glass containers avoid plastic vessels, but almost every retail lid is still plastic. We score vessel + lid: glass body with plastic lid lands at partial.

On this page
How to read verdicts: Pass metal/glass primary path (silicone seals OK if disclosed). Partial usable if you skip a coated accessory, or plastic remains on lids. Fail plastic or fluoropolymer/nonstick in the normal use path.

No full pass in this first batch — lids keep every mainstream glass set at partial. All-plastic containers would fail; none are featured as picks.
