Transporting food can be a dicey business. Whether the journey is a long commute or only a few steps to the refrigerator, it’s always easier with a container made for the job. It must not leak if it tips or shatter if it falls, and it should be oven-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe. Lifefactory’s new glass storage containers do it all. The sturdy covered glass containers, with colorful, form-fitting silicone sleeves, come in 1-, 2-, and 4-cup sizes ($14.99, $17.99, and $19.99 respectively). Two sleeve straps hook onto buttons on the top to hold the lid firmly in place and form a tight seal for a safe trip. Available at Baby Koo, 188 Needham St., Newton, 617-467-5860; Kitchen Outfitters, Acton Woods Plaza, 342 Great Road, Acton, 978-263-1955; and Kitchenwitch JP, 671 Centre St., Jamaica Plain, 617-524-6800; or go to www.lifefactory.com.JEAN KRESSY
