The lids are also a pain in the neck to separate if they get stuck
together.

These are pretty much only good for taking food away from your home

I sent more or less the same message to the company. They apologised and
say they are sending me a coupon usable on my next purchase of Gladware.
Possibly, their manufacturing facilities will be informed of the low
temperature problem.
