I switched over to glass Tupperware and fixed my storage about two years ago. So far it's worked, I only have one lid with no partner.

Yeah, I'm pretty proud.

I have dyspraxia and drop everything. How breakable are they?

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The glass is pretty thick on the ones I have, some came from aldi, some came from Walmart. I've yet to have one break, I'm sure if they were dropped on concrete or tile they would break or crack. I'm not sure

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep it's a no for me then, I'll break them within a week

I have Pyrex ones that refuse to shatter when dropped on a tiled floor. I too am pretty clumsy in the kitchen.

Dropped a few on linoleum flooring without ever breaking. One out of three or so drops on tile flooring resulted in one shattering. Dropped them a few inches in the sink while washing and clumsily whacked them against the edge of the counter with no damage.

So pretty durable, but also fairly heavy since they are pretty thick.

They'll only last a few days in my presence....

Same here, although I'm actually down a couple of lids because of splitting but cling wrap works well enough in a pinch.

Don't miss the completely random variance in sizes and shapes of the plastic tupperware.

Sometimes I just use a plate on top
