A beautiful bowl or a clear storage container often seems simple to choose. Yet problems usually only arise after purchase: a lid turns out not to be dishwasher-safe, a dish doesn't fit in the cupboard, or a glass isn't suitable for hot drinks. When buying kitchen and tableware online, it's wise to look beyond colour and price.
With an oven dish that has a lid, the glass may be dishwasher-safe, while the lid needs to be washed separately by hand. This is the case, for example, with the 5five Keepeat dishes. According to the product information, the glass dish can go in the dishwasher, microwave and oven; the polypropylene lid cannot.
Always check:
Transparent kitchen items are practical because you can see the contents quickly. However, materials vary greatly. Glass is suitable for serving and tends to hold onto odours less than some plastics, but it can break. Plastic is often lighter and handier for outdoor use, but not every plastic product is suitable for the microwave, freezer or hot contents.
A transparent plastic salad bowl might be handy for a picnic, while a glass dish is better suited for serving at a set table. So look at both the material and the usage scenario.
A capacity of 1.6 litres doesn't tell you exactly how large a dish will feel on the worktop or in the fridge. So check the length, width, height and diameter as well as the capacity. With glass bowls, also pay attention to the weight. A glass bowl weighing over a kilo is less easy to move than a light plastic dish.
Borosilicate glass is often used for dishes that are suitable for baking and storing. The 5five Keepeat models have a borosilicate glass dish and a polypropylene lid. The rectangular version has a capacity of 1.6 litres and measures 29 × 18 × 5 cm. The oval version offers 2.4 litres and measures 32 × 21 × 6.7 cm.
With glass products, watch out for temperature shocks. According to the product information, the Gaspard drinking glasses are suitable for cold drinks and drinks at room temperature, but not for hot or boiling liquids. So don't place cold glass in direct contact with very hot contents.
Choose the capacity based on your household and the dish:
A round glass tart tin with a diameter of 32 cm and a height of 5 cm is suitable for the oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher according to the product information. Always check the maximum temperature and the instructions for the specific product.
Glass is fragile, even when it's suitable for the oven or dishwasher. Don't use abrasive materials on delicate decorative dishes, such as the Secret de Gourmet Salad Bowl with wooden stand. According to the product information, this model is not suitable for the microwave, oven or dishwasher and should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
With storage jars that have an airtight lid, the seal and its maintenance are particularly important. A silicone ring must sit correctly in the lid groove. Also check whether the jar itself and the lid are separately dishwasher-safe. Don't use glass jars with boiling water unless the product information explicitly allows it.
Why this fits the profile: A set of four transparent drinking glasses of 360 ml provides a simple foundation for everyday use.
The product information states the material, capacity, quantity and dishwasher-safety, so you can check the basic details in advance.

We've put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
For storing food, glass storage containers with lids are practical when you want to see leftovers without opening the container. For dry goods, glass storage jars with airtight lids work well in a pantry. Check the capacity, the diameter of the opening and whether the sealing ring is removable.
For serving, glass dishes, glass bowls and a salad bowl depend mainly on size and weight. A decorative dish with a wooden stand generally requires more careful handling than a simple plastic bowl. For outdoor use, a light, dishwasher-safe plastic dish may be more convenient.
A drip tray for a dishwasher doesn't protect against every leak. Make sure the dishwasher is level, check the connection and inspect the tray regularly. If water appears, turn off the water supply and have the cause checked.
This varies by model. Check the product specifications and always remove the lid before putting a storage container in the microwave, unless the lid is explicitly stated as suitable.
The lifespan depends on the material, use and care. Glass can last a long time if you avoid knocks and sudden temperature changes. Check plastic for cracks and replace damaged lids or sealing rings when they no longer close properly.
The product itself doesn't determine the total energy or water consumption. That depends mainly on the programme, the load and how often you wash. Dishwasher-safety mainly saves you manual work; it doesn't mean every part belongs in every programme.
