Glass Vacuum Container

Regular "airtight" containers just trap the air that's already inside — which is why your avocados brown, berries mold, and leftovers taste stale by day two.

Hausware containers have a vacuum valve built into the lid. Place a handheld vacuum sealer on the valve, press once, and in about 8 seconds the pump actively pulls every molecule of air out of the container. No oxygen means no oxidation — so your food stays in the exact state it was in when you sealed it, for up to 5x longer.

That vacuum seal is the entire difference. Without it, it's just a nicer-looking Tupperware.

Yes. These aren't ordinary glass containers — they're pressed from premium borosilicate glass, the same material used in laboratory beakers and professional-grade bakeware. Rated from -4°F to 752°F, meaning you can go straight from the freezer into a 400°F oven without cracking.

Oven · Microwave · Freezer · Dishwasher — all safe.

One rule: remove the lid before heating. The lid is BPA-free plastic and stays on only for storage.

Yes — the containers are designed to be activated by a handheld vacuum sealer. They're built to pair perfectly with the Hausware Vacuum Sealer, but they're also compatible with most standard handheld sealers on the market.

If you don't already own one, we recommend bundling — it's the most cost-effective way to get the complete system, and the sealer is what unlocks every benefit on this page.

How long does it take to vacuum-seal a container?
About 8–10 seconds per container. Place the sealer on the valve, press the button, and wait for the motor to automatically stop when the vacuum is fully locked in.

Will the vacuum hold for days, or does it slowly leak out?
It holds for days — often over a week. The lid uses four buckle locks, a removable silicone gasket, and a one-way vacuum valve working together. Customers regularly report opening containers a week later with the vacuum still fully intact.

How much longer will my food actually last?
It depends on what you're storing, but typical results: strawberries last 10+ days (vs. 3–4), leafy greens stay crisp 7+ days (vs. 2–3), cooked meats hold up to 2 weeks (vs. 3–4 days), and cut avocados stay green for up to a week. Most customers see the difference immediately.

Can I use this to marinate meat?
Absolutely — and it's one of the best features. Vacuum pressure forces marinade deeper into meat in about 20 minutes, giving you the flavor of an overnight soak in a fraction of the time. Great for meal prep.

Will it keep strong smells (kimchi, garlic, curry) from taking over my fridge?
Yes. The vacuum seal blocks odor transfer in both directions — your kimchi stays pungent inside the container, and your milk doesn't taste like garlic the next morning.

Are the containers leak-proof if I throw one in a lunch bag?
Yes. Between the four locking buckles, the silicone gasket, and the vacuum seal itself, you've got three independent barriers. Soups, sauces, marinades, and dressings all travel safely — even on their side.

How do I clean them?
Top-rack dishwasher safe. The silicone gasket pops out of the lid for occasional deep cleaning. That's the entire maintenance routine.

What sizes come in the set?
Each set includes three nesting sizes — small, medium, and large — designed to handle everything from cut fruit to full family-size meal prep. When not in use, they nest inside each other and take up the footprint of a single container.

Are the containers and lids BPA-free?
Yes. The glass is borosilicate (inherently free of BPA and other chemicals), and the lids are made from BPA-free, food-grade plastic.

Can I use the containers for sous vide?
The containers themselves are built for vacuum storage, not sous vide cooking — for sous vide, use reusable vacuum sealer bags (sold separately or in our starter bundle).
