Perhaps most appealing was the fact that I could store and cook in the same vessel, then put all the parts into the dishwasher when I was done. When my kids wanted to be able to microwave their school lunches, I even sent the containers to school with them, though I knew sending glass to school was risky business.

Yes. Anydeli containers…
