What kind of storage bowls last longest?

I buy the Rubbermaid storage bowls but they never seem to last very long, especially if they you store food in them to reheat in the microwave or something.
The bowls start to get bubbly looking and nasty looking if you ask me.
My husband takes his lunch to work in them most usually but he either heats his food too long or these bowls are just junk.
I have replaced them many times.
Are there any better ones out there that does not do that?

@Tina30219 I will have to look those up. Right now I am looking around Amazon for some glass bowls with some air tight lids. My husband is hard on things so I need something that can hold up to him lol.
I hardly ever get out and about to shop so I am trying to find something online. I will look up the bowls you mention also.
Thank you.

I could not tell you. I never buy any of this stuff. I have too many sour cream containers, those plastic container from Chinese food, cottage cheese, and other stuff...
If I ever have to buy a container I think I am doing something wrong.

I use glass containers with plastic snap-it lids. I try not to use plastic at all anymore. My girls have a box of plastic tupperware containers they use but I won't use them. I don't care whether they say the plastic is safe, I'd rather use glass, and metal water bottles.

I have been changing my storage bowls for glass square ones with plastic tops.

@stephcjh I like the square ones and I check on the size ( not too big and not too small)

@stephcjh I think the glass ones are probably a better choice

My hubby likes to put bowls in the microwave for too long when he takes them for lunch to work and it "boils them, is the best way I know how to explain it and it ruins the plastic. They do stain also.
I bought small, rectangle glass bowls this time with lids. They fit well in his lunch bag.

I don't really know as I seem to lose them or lend them out without getting them back so I only buy cheap ones.

I have a lot of Rubbermaid and like it. Tupperware is also good.
