I'm currently looking for glass food storage containers (freezer safe, oven safe as a bonus).
My search so far has only turned up Pyrex Europe, which is an American company but produces exclusively in France.
Other brands I've checked:
- Orthex: imports their glassware from abroad, and does not produce it in Sweden/Finland (confirmed via email, still waiting on the actual country) Edit: confirmed made in China by their support.
- Glasslock: offices and warehouses in Germany, production in South Korea
- Luminarc: French company, produced in UAE
- Duralex: French company, made in France. Does not deliver outside of France (EU website is "under construction"). I reached out about the broken website.
- IKEA 365: Swedish company, glass made in different countries (confirmed France, Czech Republic). Lids made in China.
- Weck: German company, probably made in Germany. Not ideal shapes, and while theoretically freezer proof, not meant for that.
- Frigoverre by Bormilio Luigi: comment said produced in Europe and China, their own website does not show a production site outside of Europe. No direct sales from their website, no local retailer for me.
- vilde.pl seems to produce in Poland, but not what I am looking for
- Kuhn Rikon produces in Switzerland, but no delivery for me
- Status Innovation seems to produce in Slovenia
So I'd appreciate any tips and I will update the list with what I find.
Edit: Seems like Duralex fits the criteria but does not deliver outside of France. Please keep additional suggestions coming!
Current top list:
- Duralex if the EU website would work
- Frigoverre if there would be direct sales or a local retailer
- Kuhn Rikon if they would deliver to me
- Status Innovation seems to produce in Slovenia
- IKEA 365 despite the Chinese lid
- Weck, because the shape is just not practical for me and they do go beyond 500 ml.
- Pyrex Europe, made in France, but US company.
I just checked my IKEA 365+ containers and they are made in Czech Republic! Despite the sometimes cheap stuff IKEA offers i think these are well made. They seal well, can be put into the oven / freezer (i did both) and are stackable (without their lids). The base is fully glass, the top part is plastic but i think they even offer separate lids if you so desire.
Thanks, seems like I need to go and check where my local IKEA gets their stuff from. Edit: Glass part is made in Czech Republic, lid is made in China.
