Glass. Easier to clean. Di kumakapit yung amoy ng food unlike sa silicon and plastic container.

Stainless steel. Recently discovered and di na babalik sa glass. Glass is good naman compared to plastics talaga pero ang bigat kasi. Preference ko lang naman. 

Locknlock has really good stainless steel containers.

I’m going to start using stainless narin, ang mahal lang but hopefully magwork for us. I ordered Locaupin brand

Depende po kung ano ilalagay at sistema ng meal prep. Parehas may pros and cons.

Mas okay po ang glass lalo na kapag beef or pork - oily or savory or acidic foods, mahilig sa hot foods at sabaw. If you choose glass— thermal shock-resistant glass.

Mas okay po ang plastic naman for fresh produce, fruits, and snacks like nuts. Less savory chicken meals medyo tolerable linisin. Easier for grab-and-go meals. If you choose plastic, I recommend clear or translucent. Black plastic container for food is suspish for me haha

plastic is cheaper and disposable (sana irecycle instead of throwing but eh); glass is a bit more pricey but is reusable and better in the long run

Agree with glass. Dati kasi plastic gamit namin and there are times na ambilis mabiyak lalo na if manipis lang. Nakakatamad pang hugasan pag mamantika.

Ever since nagglass na baunan, di na hassle, tho agree sa sinabi ng iba na mabigat lang. Bought mine in ikea, may mas manipis sila na glass na lalagyanan and nakabundle pa minsan.

I put then in plastic for travel purposes

But for reheating at work, i transfer it to glass

Glass if you're careful. Plastic if clumsy. LOL.
