The lids will always fall apart. If it's a round dish, you can buy replacement lids on Amazon. I bought some silicone replacement lids that I like a lot. It takes a tad more work to snap them on, but they last way longer than the plastic lids.

I like this too, for many things...

I like the Caraway pans, but really don't like the food storage. Can't go in the dishwasher and the lids are tough to get off. I use mine, but won't be sad when they reach the end of their lifespan.
I also have glass with bamboo lids.

IKEA 365 glass containers with the lid of your choice. Our plastic snap-on ones have lasted 5+ years so far. You can also get bamboo lids (though not dishwasher safe).

+1 Rubbermaid brilliance. The glass parts are heavy, but that’s okay.

Another enthusiastic vote for the Sophico silicone lids! I’m slowly replacing all the plastic lids with these - they are indestructible.

I use the Better Homes & Garden glass containers with lids.
Easily found at Walmart.

I think I have these. Love them. From Costco. Glass… think the pack was 7 containers/lids. Probably going on 4-5 years.

Lock and lock. I’ve had mine for 10 years and still going strong.

I bought a nice set of glass containers and I've already broken three of them -- they break whenever they're dropped (OK, I shouldn't be dropping them but I have a set from Ikea that I've had for about 15 years and they've never broken....). Things aren't built to last anymore and there's no point in recommending anything because things are made so much more cheaply now. Sigh.
Pyrex brand is great. I would not buy a generic Amazon brand containers. You can buy Pyrex-branded replacement lids on Amazon (or from Pyrex directly). But I might take PP's recommendation to buy Sophico in the future.

I just buy new lids for Pyrex. We've tried Snapware, but the "wings" can also crack and sometimes are really hard to close. Replacing lids has worked for us, and I overall like the Pyrex containers.

We’re on our second or third set and stopped washing the lids in the dishwasher after the first — the plastic becomes brittle, so the lids don’t fit snugly anymore and eventually crack.Anonymous wrote:Mine are fine. They are like 15 years old and go in the dishwasher daily. What are you doing to yours?
