...for anything with a liquid component. Anchor Hocking brand is made in America, and is oven, freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe. So far, I'm very happy with this decision. Besides cutting down on plastics, I like being able to store and reheat leftovers in the same container, and if it is a small serving of whatever, and I'm home alone, I can eat from that same container, so fewer dishes to rinse after using, cutting down a bit on water use. Win-win-win.

And, no staining from anything containing tomato sauce.

From their info site - Anchor Hocking glass bakeware: Can be used in the freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and oven up to 425°F
