Got any hot tips on high quality affordable glass containers without plastic components? Standard gaskets, or ones which can be cut from silicone and replaced as needed are ok.
Ideally should survive small drops and boiling water.
There are expensive junk ones at my IGA but something like old Pyrex would be good.

Plastic on its own is not evil. The problem is single-use plastic. Tupperware lasts decades - I’ve got a few containers that mum bought 40+ years ago. Hard to imagine that she was younger than I am when she bought these containers, and they outlasted her.
No argument that we have a plastic problem as a society; but I don’t really see Tupperware itself as a part of that problem.

Storing and heating food in plastic is a very large source of nanoplastic and microplastic consumption
