Golden Harvest are just fine. Been using them for decades with no problems. They tend to have some tiny bubbles in the glass now and then, are shaped a bit differently, and there maybe a seam that isn't as smooth but it is primarily just an appearance issue not a strength issue. Dave

dear canology, interesting moniker, since this reply is about the study of plastics, and it doesn't look good ! first,excuse me for injecting some heaviness into a fairly lighthearted post. i'll agree that plastic containers are more convenient. but that is not the whole picture. there are several or more studies that point in a frightening direction. i won't be surprised if it's learned that the obesity epidemic is caused not just by diet and lack of exercise, but by what our parents and grandparents used in daily life. there's no hiding from all the "un-natural" thousands of compounds made, but i choose not to put my food in them, or microwave or cook with them . of course, how glass is made is probably not the same as 100 years ago. but that's digging too deeply even for me ! here's one paper to refer to. plastic or glass ? your choice.
