Glass food containers get bought for the glass and get retired because of the lid. The glass half of the IKEA 365+ 34-ounce rectangular container is easy to summarize: heat-resistant glass that IKEA marks as microwave-safe, oven-safe, freezer-safe and dishwasher-safe, with a note that it will not hold onto odors or tomato stains. Every restriction on the listing belongs to the lid.
The lid is polypropylene with a silicone rubber seal. IKEA rates it for the microwave to 212°F, bars it from the oven, and asks you to leave it ajar while food heats. For $6.49 you get one piece that survives whatever a home kitchen does to it, snapped onto a second piece that does not, and the review below is mostly about living with that split.
Our verdict
Worth $6.49 for anyone who freezes portions and reheats them in the same dish, provided the lid comes off before the oven and sits ajar in the microwave. The glass body is the durable half of the purchase, and IKEA sells the lid as a separate article, so a worn lid does not retire the container.
- A good fit for
- Meal preppers who want a fridge-to-oven dish in glass at a price that allows buying five or six of them.
- We would skip it if
- You want to bake with a lid on, you need a published maximum oven temperature, or you want a container that microwaves sealed.
Reasons to consider it
- IKEA rates the glass body for the microwave, the oven, the freezer and the dishwasher, and says it does not absorb odors or discolor
- The lid and the glass are listed as separate articles (405.779.43 and 703.591.99), so either half can be replaced on its own
- At 8 by 6 by 3 inches the shape is shallow and flat, which suits stacking in a refrigerator and reheating in a small oven or air fryer
The compromises
- The polypropylene lid is limited to 212°F in the microwave and is excluded from the oven entirely
- IKEA tells you to leave the lid ajar while heating, which means the airtight seal is a storage feature and not a reheating one
- No maximum oven temperature and no glass type beyond heat-resistant appear anywhere on the listing
What we have not verified: Nothing here comes from handling the container. IKEA does not publish a maximum oven temperature, the weight of the container, or whether the glass is borosilicate or tempered soda-lime, and it says nothing about moving the dish straight from the freezer to a hot oven. The lid's separate price was not checked. A reviewer on the listing disputes the 3-inch height figure, and that claim stays unverified.

A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.
IKEA 365+ Food Container with Lid · 34 oz rectangular glass
A heat-resistant glass body rated for the oven and freezer at a single-unit price low enough to build a matching set, with the lid sold separately when it eventually gives out.
Before you buy: Lift the lid off before the oven and crack it open in the microwave; the 212°F lid limit and the leave-ajar instruction are the two rules that matter.
Price checked September 11, 2026. Retailer prices can change.The glass body is rated for everything except a stated temperature
IKEA lists the container body as heat resistant glass and marks it microwave-safe, oven-safe, freezer-safe and dishwasher-safe. The same listing says the dish can double as an oven or serving dish, fits most air fryers, and will not absorb odors or discolor from tomato sauce. What it does not say is how hot the oven may go. There is no maximum temperature anywhere on the listing, and the glass type is described only as heat resistant.
For the person who portions a batch of chili into containers on Sunday and reheats one on Wednesday, that omission changes little; the freezer, the microwave and a moderate oven are all covered in writing. For someone planning to roast at high heat in the same dish, IKEA has given them no number to lean on, and the listing says nothing about taking a frozen container straight into a hot oven. Treat the glass as a reheating and baking dish with published ratings and an unpublished ceiling.
A 212°F lid, and a seal you are told to leave open
The lid is polypropylene with a silicone rubber seal. IKEA says it is microwave-safe up to 212°F, freezer-safe and dishwasher-safe, and that it must stay out of the oven. A separate line says to leave the lid ajar while heating to release steam. So the airtight and leakproof claims describe the container in the bag or the fridge; the moment food heats, the seal is meant to be broken.
In practice reheating becomes a two-step routine: unlatch, then heat. One person adjusts to the habit in a week; a household that reheats a dozen containers a week feels every unlatch. IKEA lists the lid as its own article, 405.779.43, and the glass body as 703.591.99, so a lid that cracks at the latch or warps in a hot dishwasher gets replaced without discarding the glass. The lid's standalone price was not checked for this review, and two reviewers on the listing describe the latch as tight or hard to close, which remains their word alone.
Eight by six by three, and what the other two sizes change
The 34-ounce version measures 8 inches long, 6 inches wide and 3 inches high, and IKEA calls it stackable. The two sizes offered alongside it are both square: 20 ounces at $5.49, and 41 ounces at $6.49, the latter measuring 6 by 6 by 5 inches. The 34-ounce container is the shallow one of the three, which is why it suits a single layered portion or a slab of lasagna, and why a stack of them fits under a low refrigerator shelf.
At the same $6.49 the 41-ounce square holds more but stands two inches taller, so the choice between them is really a shelf-height choice. Anyone with deep drawers gets more food per dollar from the square; anyone with tight shelves gets more usable containers from the rectangle. IKEA does not publish the weight of either, and one reviewer on the listing disputes whether the 3-inch height includes the lid, which is unverified.
Skip it when the lid's limits are the wrong limits for you
Skip this container if you want to bake with a cover on, since no part of the lid is oven-rated and the glass is sold without any glass cover. Skip it if a sealed microwave reheat is the point, because IKEA's own instruction is to leave the lid open. And skip it if your cooking needs a stated maximum oven temperature or confirmation of the glass type, because the listing supplies neither and this review cannot fill the gap.
Buy it if your routine is freeze, thaw, reheat in the microwave or a moderate oven, then wash everything in the dishwasher, and you want that in glass at $6.49 a container. The 365-day returns period covers a change of mind. Wash it before first use, as IKEA asks, and expect the lid to be the piece you replace first.
