Amazon.com ReviewKeep your leftovers chilled or frozen in these durable glass containers with plastic lids. The clear glass lets you see at a glance what's inside, and the stackability factor helps you neatly store dried pasta, cereal, and other items on your shelf. When you're ready to reheat those leftovers, bring to room temperature then warm in the oven or microwave. Pyrex glass is nonporous, so it won't stain or absorb food odors. And, unlike plastic containers, glass won't emit harmful chemicals during microwave use.
This 14-piece storage set consists of seven round glass bowls: one large seven-cup; two medium-size four-cup; and four handy two-cup (great for lunches). Each has its own seal-tight, blue plastic lid. Incredibly durable as long as sudden changes in temperature are avoided, Pyrex glassware is safe for the oven, microwave, freezer, refrigerator, and dishwasher, and even looks good serving at the table. Please avoid using the lids in the microwave and oven, and wash by hand or on the dishwasher's top rack. Pyrex covers the glass bowls with a two-year warranty, and the lids with a one-year warranty. Pyrex glass is made in the USA. --Ann Bieri
Product DescriptionEliminate the guesswork about what's lurking in your fridge with these convenient glass storage units by Pyrex. It's a scientific fact that leftovers are far less likely to be eaten if they languish hidden. By the time someone decides to take a peek, well, let's just say it can be unnerving. Glass gives you the advantage of being able to store and reheat in the same container, and it doesn't discolor or retain odors the way plastic containers can. With many sizes to choose from you'll be able to store not only leftovers but also pre-prepared meals.
Good storage containers (Rating: 4 out of 5) Pyrex is nice...you can put them in the dishwasher, microwave, freezer, etc. I bought two sets of these because 14 pieces counts the lids, so you end up with only 7 dishes. I gave four stars because they chip easily...before I used a single dish, one chipped on me as I was putting it away. I am waiting to see if I have any other chipping problems. Overall, these things are great. I highly recommend using these over plastic food containers!
great storageware (Rating: 5 out of 5) I bought this set after getting rid of my old plastic stuff. There are concerns about chemicals in plastics so I thought, why chance it? So I bought these containers and I have to say I like them even better than the plastic. They heat well in the microwave and are just the right size for storage and meal portioning. The lids are included and are water tight from what I've seen. I think it is definitely worth the money to buy something that will last and might even be more safe for you.
Great (Rating: 4 out of 5) The pyrex set is great - it's nice to be able to take the lid off and stick the container in the microwave. The only downside is that the lids can be a little hard to get on the containers.
Change from plastic to glass (Rating: 4 out of 5) We replaced all of the plastic storage containers with these glass containers. They aren't expensive, they work well and they are arguable much safer for us and the environment. What's not to like? They could use some larger matching bowls.
Great Plastic Alternative (Rating: 5 out of 5) Being concerned about plastic leaching who-knows-what into our food (and not trusting corporations to tell us about it), I purchased these, along with a set of Pyrex larger, mixed-size containers to replace plastic refrigerator storage pieces. It's easy to view the contents, the lids fit securely, and there's the bonus of being able to microwave food in them. They also beat out plastic when it comes to washing as they go in the dishwasher and retain their shape. They're a little pricey when compared to plastic, but will last forever, so I figure they are a bargain in the long run. Since 90% of the food we buy in the stores seems to come in plastic, it's impossible to get away from it, but hopefully every little bit helps.
