Ocean Rego Round Food Container Box, Yellow Fizz, 400ml

Our review

This is a small round food container from Ocean's Rego line, listed in a Yellow Fizz colourway at 400ml. Both parts are glass: a borosilicate body and a tempered glass lid, which is the detail that separates it from the usual plastic-lidded boxes. Because the lid is glass rather than plastic or silicone, you can see what is inside without opening it, and there is no plastic lid to stain, warp or hold onto smells over time. The 400ml size suits a single portion of leftovers, cut fruit, nuts, or a small salad, and it is the sort of box that works well for one person rather than family-sized batch cooking. Before buying, check the diameter and height against your bag, fridge shelf and lunch bag, since 400ml round boxes vary in shape. Also confirm the lid's sealing method and whether it is oven, microwave or dishwasher safe, as none of that is stated here. Compared with glass boxes that use clip-lock plastic lids, this one trades some leak resistance for an all-glass look and easier cleaning. If you mainly carry dry or low-liquid foods and want a container that looks presentable on the table, it is a reasonable pick; if you need a leakproof box for soup or dressings, look for a clip-lock alternative.
