Arc International Luminarc Working Glass, 14-Ounce with Red Lids, Set of 6

I ordered these yesterday and got them today. All intact, no breakage at all, and exactly as described. Thank you Goodman's! These glasses are the best. They make a nice "rocks" glass for alcoholic beverages, but that's just the beginning. They're heavy, of fine quality (made in France, not China), and very versatile. They're called "working glasses" because of the well-fitting lids which turn them from a drinking glass into a nice storage container for the fridge. I make a big pot of homemade soup and spoon it into these glasses, cover them, and refrigerate till ready to use. Perfect one serving size. Great storage They feel good in your hand, and their style is classic. For the price, you can't go wrong. I've used them for many years, and was happy to be able to find replacements on Amazon. (They're sturdy, but GLASS. Accidents happen!)

I bought these glasses/containers for making coconut milk yogurt (for which there is no need for a yogurt maker, btw!) and they work great, very roomy. You can use them for leftover storage, they're heavy quality and feel good in your hand. This morning I ran out of clean tea cups (terrible housekeeper alert) and thought I would take a chance using one of these. I was nervous it might break the glass, but they're so heavy duty I took the chance and poured the tea kettle water right in. Worked like a charm, so I had to praise them here for yet another use. Everybody should have a set.

I got these glasses because I wanted some smaller storage items to freeze single servings. I have used these glasses several times since I purchased them and found them to be very useful. The glass feels a bit on the light side (in weight) but they are indeed marked "500" which leads me to believe they will hold up as the older ones did. The lids seem very sturdy and they provide a tight fit and seemed to "snap" on. Of course it is also great that I can use easily drinking glasses as well. They are attractive enough that I was at them on my table without hesitation. Overall I think this is a good buy,

I've had these working glasses for just a few months now, and have enjoyed their good craftsmanship and functionality. The glasses themselves are sturdy -- something you will notice immediately when you get a good grip on them. Glasses with thin walls and flimsy construction are NOT what you will find with these. They are well-constructed, and even hold up to the occasional clanging up against other glassware in my lunch bag. The added bonus with these glasses is the lids that easily convert them to storage pieces. Want to take your morning oatmeal with you to work? These are just the thing to use to set aside a serving, throw in your lunch bag and head out. They are also fantastic for meal leftovers. As for clean up, that's easy, too. I've had no problems hand washing these or putting both glasses and lids in the dishwasher. These are definitely a 'win' for your kitchen.

Pros: +wide, stable base +easy to clean +bright red watertight lids included +stamped clearly with Luminarc +stamped clearly "made in France" w/500ml marks +seamless sides +clean, smooth rolled lip +wide diameter makes easy to place large adult hands in for cleaning +multiuse +clear, bubble-less, warpless glass +beveled sides help grip Cons: -child-sized/small hands need 2 hands to hold -does not nest (secure lids to stack, although does not lock together) Would purchase again, despite having rather small hands myself. Feels sturdy and solid, a joy to drink from and easy to clean. Adore the multipurpose use for these--storage, dessert presentation, daily drinkware. Could possibly go in freezer for a wee bit, although I wouldn't recommend it on a regular basis or to freeze anything solid; think more "keep my dessert's whipped cream from melting before serving everyone." These aren't mugs or ramekins and we wouldn't use them as cookware, but I would use confidently with hot (not boiling) drinks, provided you've a sleeve large enough to place around the glass. I also think they'd be fine in the microwave, provided you're not prone to overheating. Love!

These glasses are fantastic! They are sturdy and I can use them for drinking or to store food. What I like best is that I can label the red lids with a thin sharpie and just wash off each time I need to change the label. I can make mayo or dressing and date the container. We also write our names on the lids so each family member can know which glass is their own. I have both the larger and smaller size of these. The lids do stay on well even when traveling in the car or throwing one in a picnic basket. Very happy with this find.

First off, they don't really stack; not safely anyway. I like that they work as glasses when all the others are in the dishwasher and are still good for food storage. The quality of the glass is fair at best.

I bought these glasses to store my smoothies in the fridge in single portions, and for that purpose they are perfect! The lids are fantastic. They provide an excellent seal. I can shake the glass or hang it upside down and it doesn't leak. The lids come on and off easily without being fiddly. My ONLY gripe is that these glasses are so wide! I have small hands so I have to really stretch my hand a bit to grip it well. I also have to be careful when drinking because of the wide mouth. If I'm drinking a very thick smoothie, my drink travels to the rim of the glass in an area wider than my mouth. Thinner liquids are not a problem.

I simply love these jars and have been using them for years. The place I've been buying them for the past 10 years no longer carries them - so when I found them on Amazon I ordered a box - I want to send some "filled" with things for a friend for Christmas. The jars are very versatile - fill with homemade lemon curd, pesto, pate, cranberry sauce etc etc. You can also use them for drinking glasses...but just having a few on hand will be very handy in your kitchen. I love the size and the lids! I also use one in my freezer for egg whites - easy to take the lid on an off to add to - and the glass is tempered so can stand up to freezing. Cheers....enjoy them!

Ich verwende diese Gläser seit bestimmt 20 Jahren als Gefriergläser für meine Suppen, Saucen, Eintöpfe, Gemüse etc. und habe mich richtig gefreut, dass ich sie hier wieder gefunden haben und weitere dazu kaufen konnte.

I have been looking for something to keep my natural yeast in and these Luminarc jars are perfect for the job. I was a little dubious about the quality but after using them for a good few months now, I've had no breakages and no problems, if anything, I wish I'd found them sooner! The glass is thinner than most jars but I haven't chipped or broken any. I often have to rinse them in boiling water which has not caused the glass to shatter (I never pour boiling water on cold glass anyway). They're also lighter than most jars which, for me, is a good thing. The shape is very similar to, but a little bigger than, the 'Bonne Maman' jam jars sold in most supermarkets. The lids are plastic, flexible and appear flimsy but they haven't distorted even with boiling water poured on them. The thinness has been of benefit really, as I've been able to make small holes in them to allow gas, released from the yeast, to escape. They're not airtight but they do require a little effort to push on and 'peel' off. One little detail I thought was nice, the base of the jars are shaped to fit the lids so that they stack nicely and slightly 'lock' so that they don't easily slide or slip off when tilted a little. I'm not a jam maker but I don't think these jars are for long term storage of jam (as they're not airtight) but rather, everyday storage of jam (or anything else really) that will be consumed soon. These jars would be great for storing leftover ingredients or for keeping things covered (small things mind you) especially if you don't like using too much plastic or want to store things that are greasy that would otherwise stain plastic containers. I think they're a bargain as they come in a pack of six and I've found them to be very useful.

First of all, the description states that these are "jam jars". This is not what I use them for, and some of the other reviewers have said that they may not be suitable for this purpose. I use these storage jars in the kitchen. They are great for keeping leftovers in the fridge, and I also make my cold brew coffee in them. The jars are nice and solid - like soda glasses with a slight lip. The lids fit really well (I can shake a jar, and none of the liquid escapes). I also use them as glasses if I'm working in the garden. Having the lid means that I don't have to fish insects out of my drink!

I love these glasses. They are very well made and the lid fits very well. They may be used for drinks, but they work for any leftovers storage in the fridge, or any other small storage. They are bit larger than they look.The package they came in was very sturdy.
