Impossible to open, lids not good at allAnonymous reviewerI have bought a few of those, size is great to do meal prep. I am changing everything to get away from plastic but I can't believe how difficult are these lids to open! So very hard, several times I wanted to throw them away. I thought it was just me, but seeing the reviews it's really the lid that's the problem, not me (a relief in some way). But still very disappointed, I always thought high of Ikea but after these nightmares dear me, every single time it's an issue.. I am disabled, I was just trying to make my life healthier and easier with these but it's not the case unfortunately. Ikea please do something about those lids! 2
Unfortunately not fit for purposeAnonymous reviewerI got these as I’m trying to move away from plastics. And I thought these were great as I
could put them in the oven too. Unfortunately the lids are the issue, impossible to remove. I’ve broken a nail, I’ve cracked the lid, I’ve had the food go everywhere getting the lid off. I can only rest the lid on top, I can’t stack them as then it pushes the lid on too much and I can’t get it off.2
Bestamma glass fantastic- lids difficult to remove.Anonymous reviewerBestamma glass fantastic- lids difficult to remove. So Unfortuantely I will not be buying them again.3
Great size glass containerAnonymous reviewerWanting to not use all plastic containers, these glass ones are great for storing food in the fridge.5
Bestamma, best container everAnonymous reviewerPerfect size for adult portions of lasagne, shepherds pie or baked puddings. Great for oven and freezer!5
Bit of a nightmare!Anonymous reviewerIt’s a decent sized tub which I bought 5 of to do meal prep for the work week. Unfortunately it’s almost impossible to get the lid off, especially when they’re full because when you finally yank it off your food goes flying,😩2
Does the jobAnonymous reviewerUse to keep fruit fresh in the fridge5
So usefulAnonymous reviewerTrying to cut down on plastics for food storage and cooking this year. These are a good start, as the lids are removed for cooking, and glass easy to clean.5
Durable glass dishAnonymous reviewerGreat for storing food, especially items with smoked paprika or turmeric etc or a tomato based sauce as these spices often stain equivalent plastic storage containers. Would be great if the lid was slightly more pliable to assist in removal but overall a very useful item in a useful size.5
Great alternative to plastic boxesAnonymous reviewerI use these containers daily. They are easy to use and clean.4
Easy to use for single servingAnonymous reviewerGreat to have an affordable glass container, using the lid takes a bit of practice. I use it for batch cooking and putting things in the freezer.4

The lids are very difficult to open not flexible enough for easy open.Anonymous reviewerLids not good quality materials3
Can’t get the lids off!Anonymous reviewerI am a fit, healthy, middle aged adult, and I can confirm as other reviews below have said, great pots, nightmare lids! For me, they go on fine, but I cannot remove them without a fight. Not sure if other IKEA lids fit? Will gladly buy, or I’ll have to chuck all my otherwise perfectly functioning pots away.
Aside from the lids, these containers are a good size for single portion leftovers, they’re sturdy, they stack nicely, and they go in the dishwasher, freezer and microwave fine (though best not to microwave, as food contained within is awkward, bordering on dangerous, to decant into a dish when hot). But without a decent lid, they’re next to useless.2
Lids are awfulAnonymous reviewerCompletely agree with the other reviews, this is the perfect sized container ruined by an utterly useless lid - if up do manage to click it on properly it is IMPOSSIBLE to get off, I've just spent ten minutes trying. Surprised it got past product testing. Would buy an improved version though as the size/shape is exactly what I need. 1
Lids never close properly Anonymous reviewerBought 6… not one lid closes properly. They pop right off. The glass container is have decent, just a shame about this rubbish lids1
Bestamma food dish, glassAnonymous reviewerExcellent - just what I was looking for. Just the right size. Dishwasher proof.5
Glass storageAnonymous reviewerLove this, easy clean storage container5
The worst lids ever Anonymous reviewerThe lids are SO DIFFICULT to get off, a complete pain. I never want to use them again!
The glass containers are not freezer proof (which I discovered after checking with IKEA customer service). Shame, because they're a helpful size and stack well.1
Lids are terribleAnonymous reviewerLids are very hard to remove2
