So, what's all the fuss about? As it happens, it's not just your run-of-the-mill glass container. This one's a multitasking marvel: it's microwave, oven, dishwasher, and freezer safe, as well as being airtight and watertight.

This means you can wave goodbye to the hassle of transferring food between different dishes for cooking and storage and say hello to less clean up. It's convenience at its finest!

"You've got this amazing lid," Tara Louise explained enthusiastically in her TikTok, "so if you do a little morning quiche, little zucchini slice or something for breakfast, you can literally bake it in your container, let it cool down, pop your lid on it, put it in the fridge and grab for your breakfast the next morning."
