Hydro Flask Water Bottle vs. Glass Food Storage with Snap Lids

Materials

• 18/8 stainless steel
• powder coat exterior

Common claims

• TempShield insulation
• BPA-free and phthalate-free
• Lifetime warranty

Concerns / watch-outs

• Powder coat paint on exterior — not in contact with food or drink
• Straw lids contain polypropylene — food-grade but plastic contact with liquid

Notes

A top-selling insulated stainless bottle. The interior is full stainless steel; no plastic lining. Avoid straw lids if minimizing all plastic contact.

Cleaner alternatives

• klean kanteen bottle
• stainless water bottle

Materials

• Borosilicate glass
• BPA-free plastic snap lids

Common claims

• Oven, microwave, and freezer safe
• Non-porous glass
• BPA-free lids

Concerns / watch-outs

• Lids are typically polypropylene (PP) — avoid microwaving with lid on
• Glass can break if dropped on hard floors

Notes

Best practice for food storage. Glass body is completely inert. Just don't microwave with the plastic lid on to avoid leaching.

Cleaner alternatives

• pyrex glass containers
• anchor hocking glass
