Anyday’s strongest documented strength is turning the microwave into a real cooking tool. America’s Test Kitchen tested the Everyday Set and was impressed, reporting that the glass dishes and lids were easy to use and food cooked evenly. It also singled out Anyday’s free recipes as a major perk. theSkimm’s testers cooked vegetables, chicken, rice, pasta and salmon over two months and concluded the set gets dinner on the table faster. Anyday is a U.S. cookware brand making frosted borosilicate glass dishes with special lids, designed for cooking full meals in the microwave, then storing, serving and reheating in the same dish. What sets it apart is the lid: borosilicate glass with platinum-grade silicone and a microwave-safe stainless steel knob, which vents steam and helps food cook evenly.
The range is built from round dishes in several sizes (Small, Medium Shallow, Medium Deep, Large Shallow, Large Deep and Extra Large) plus square dishes. Sets include a 4-Piece Starter Set, an 8-Piece Everyday Set, an 8-Piece College Dorm Set, a 12-Piece Essentials Set, a 14-Piece Complete Set, and square-dish sets. Refinery29 reported individual bowls at about $30 to $40 each and the Everyday Set at $120. America’s Test Kitchen also listed $120 at the time of testing, while theSkimm listed $135. Dishes are microwave-, dishwasher-, oven- and freezer-safe, and come in three colors.
The honest caveat: Anyday has no Trustpilot reviews (the “anyday.com” Trustpilot profile belongs to an unrelated web listing), so there’s no independent customer score to check. Testers also note the frosted glass is fragile and gets hot, with no handles, so oven mitts are a must.

We reviewed hands-on testing from America’s Test Kitchen, theSkimm and Refinery29, and Anyday’s official product and set information. Anyday has no Trustpilot profile of its own, so we haven’t included customer quotes. We never invent them. GlossGirly has no commercial relationship with Anyday that affects this verdict. Food-safety note: microwaves can heat unevenly. Stir or rotate food, let it stand, and check meat and poultry reach safe internal temperatures (for example, 165°F / 74°C for poultry). Use oven mitts, since glass gets hot, and only use Anyday’s own lids in the microwave, not other metal items.
Anyday’s dishes are made from frosted borosilicate glass, a heat-resistant glass commonly used in cookware. The key is the lid. It combines glass, platinum-grade silicone and a stainless steel knob designed to be safe in the microwave, and it traps and vents steam so food cooks evenly. You can cook rice, vegetables, fish, chicken, pasta, eggs and desserts, then serve and store leftovers in the same dish. Anyday also provides recipes that adjust cooking times based on your microwave’s power level, which you can usually find inside the microwave door. America’s Test Kitchen called these free recipes a major perk.
Testers were impressed. America’s Test Kitchen said the dishes and lids were easy to use and food cooked evenly. theSkimm’s testers successfully cooked vegetables, chicken, rice, pasta and salmon, and concluded the set gets meals on the table faster and that you really can cook nutritious meals in the microwave. One practical tip from theSkimm is that vegetables crisped better when cooked in their own dish rather than in a one-pot meal, so the multi-size sets help. Results still depend on technique. Follow Anyday’s timing guides, stir halfway through, and let food stand before serving.
Anyday’s glass is designed for heat, but it requires care. theSkimm called the frosted glass fragile and noted that bowls get hot, with no heat-resistant handles, so testers used oven mitts and recommended setting dishes on a trivet when serving. America’s Test Kitchen describes the borosilicate glass as shock-resistant, but no glass is indestructible. Avoid dropping dishes or exposing them to extreme sudden temperature changes. Only microwave Anyday’s own lids. The stainless steel parts are specifically designed for microwave use, and other metal objects aren’t safe in a microwave.
Anyday costs more than basic glass containers. Refinery29 reported individual dishes at about $30 to $40, and testers reported the four-dish Everyday Set at $120 to $135. Larger 12- and 14-piece sets cost more but offer better per-dish value. For people who cook in small kitchens, dorms or offices, or who want to cut plastic out of microwave cooking, the ability to cook, store and reheat in one dish adds real value. If you mostly reheat leftovers, cheaper glass containers may be enough. Check Anyday’s site for current pricing and set bundles.
The Everyday Set includes four dishes with lids: Large Deep (about 2 qt), Large Shallow (about 1.75 qt), Medium Deep (about 1 qt) and Medium Shallow (about 1 qt), according to America’s Test Kitchen. It’s best for households cooking for one to four people. Use the shallow dishes for vegetables and fish, and the deep dishes for rice, pasta and soups.
The Starter Set is a smaller entry point with two dishes and lids. It’s best for testing microwave cooking before committing to a larger set, or for office lunches. Follow Anyday’s power-level guides from the first use.
The Complete Set includes every round dish size, from Small to Extra Large, with lids. Anyday describes it as its biggest set with the biggest savings. It’s best for families and meal preppers who want to cook, store and reheat everything in matching glass.
A set designed for dorms and small spaces, where a microwave is often the main cooking appliance. It’s best for students and anyone without a full kitchen. Check dorm rules on appliance use, and always use oven mitts.
Anyday doesn’t have its own Trustpilot profile, so there are no verified Trustpilot customer reviews to quote. Under our editorial rules, we never invent or paraphrase quotes as if they came from real buyers.
Independent testers offer the best guide. America’s Test Kitchen was impressed with even cooking and ease of use, theSkimm’s testers found it sped up weeknight dinners but cautioned about fragile, hot glass, and Refinery29 praised the lid design. If you buy Anyday, consider leaving an independent review to help other shoppers.
Anyday is worth it for people who want to cook real meals quickly with less cleanup, especially in small kitchens, dorms or offices, and for anyone who wants to replace plastic microwave containers with glass. Use oven mitts, follow the timing guides, and check food temperatures. If you only reheat leftovers, a cheaper glass container set may be enough.
