Anyday: Turning Your Microwave Into a Real Cooking Tool

by Harry Bramwell

Anyday’s documented strength is cookware that makes cooking full meals in the microwave easy. Backed by chef David Chang, Anyday makes dishes from shock-resistant borosilicate glass with lids made of glass, platinum silicone and microwave-safe stainless steel, according to America’s Test Kitchen and NBC Select. America’s Test Kitchen tested the Everyday Set and was impressed, finding the dishes and lids easy to use and the food inside cooked evenly. Reviewed cooked rice, salmon, poached eggs and lava cake and called the design extremely durable and high quality.

The Everyday Set includes a 1-quart medium deep dish, 2-quart large deep dish, 1-quart medium shallow dish and 1.75-quart large shallow dish, per America’s Test Kitchen, which lists it at $120 at testing. The dishes are dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe and oven-safe up to 400°F for the lid and 500°F for the bowl. The Quality Edit lists individual dishes at $30 to $40, and NBC Select notes a $60 two-piece set and $150 12-piece set. Anyday also sells a clear Everything Dish line at a lower price, which it describes as 100% plastic-free.

Testers largely recommend it. Tasting Table’s reviewer concluded Anyday is definitely worth it after testing many foods. theSkimm highlights that you can prep, cook, serve and store in one container. Reviewed noted the dishes could be removed from the microwave without burning hands, though Sustainably Kind Living advises oven mitts because the glass retains heat.

The honest caveat: the price is high for glass bowls with lids. Hungry Huy tested eight Anyday recipes and didn’t see what justified the $120 price versus other microwave cookware, and found the frosted glass messy and less attractive for serving. Sustainably Kind Living notes a learning curve with microwave power settings. Anyday has no Trustpilot profile we could find, so this review relies on expert testers.

Why Trust This Review

This review draws on hands-on testing by America’s Test Kitchen, Reviewed, NBC Select, Tasting Table, theSkimm, Hungry Huy and Sustainably Kind Living, plus pricing from The Quality Edit and Anyday. NBC Select received samples, and some outlets earn affiliate commissions. We couldn’t find a Trustpilot profile for Anyday.

Safety note: Hot glass and steam can burn, so use oven mitts and open lids away from your face. Avoid sudden temperature changes even with borosilicate glass, and follow Anyday’s power and timing guidelines, as microwaves vary. GlossGirly has no commercial relationship with Anyday that affects this verdict.

Full Review Breakdown

Microwave Cooking Performance

America’s Test Kitchen found food cooked evenly in Anyday dishes. Reviewed successfully cooked rice, salmon, poached eggs and a lava cake from Anyday’s recipes. NBC Select tested proteins and desserts over a month.

Materials and Safety

Anyday dishes use borosilicate glass, and lids combine glass, platinum silicone and microwave-safe stainless steel. Anyday says its glass won’t leach chemicals into food like heated plastic can.

Versatility and Storage

The dishes double as food storage. theSkimm highlights prepping, cooking, serving and storing in one container, and dishes are freezer-safe. Anyday’s clear Everything Dish line offers flatter lids for stacking at a lower price.

Price and Value

At about $120 for four dishes, Anyday costs more than standard glass containers. Tasting Table found it worth the price for convenience, while Hungry Huy felt it wasn’t meaningfully better than other microwave cookware. The cheaper Everything Dish line helps.

Best Products Worth Buying

Four frosted borosilicate dishes in medium and large, deep and shallow. ATK praised even cooking and ease of use. Best for anyone wanting to cook full meals in the microwave. Trade-offs: premium price.

A 2-quart dish for rice, grains, soups and one-dish meals. Best for single-dish buyers who want versatility. Trade-offs: heavier to handle when hot.

A clear, more affordable version with a flat lid for stacking. Best for storage-first users. Trade-offs: lacks the frosted look.

Two 2-cup dishes for snacks, eggs and reheating. Best for small portions. Trade-offs: limited capacity.
