Replacing Tupperware With Glass
I have had only one glass pickle jar to crack and break in the microwave so far. So, lesson learned. I now defrost in the fridge overnight before putting it in the microwave. That was a mess of spaghetti sauce!
Replacing Tupperware With Glass

Removing Pickle Odor from a Jar?
Deeli has the answer. Glass is easily cleaned but that lid if it has a gasket will keep that pickle odor unless you follow that baking soda idea. Ive never had a problem after doing this. Good luck to you...
