tropicalports: ReviewTransporting foods for lunches and picnics and storing leftovers for reheating is a cinch with the Pyrex Storage Plus set. Included in this set are two 2-cup rounds, one 3 1/2-cup rectangular, one 4-cup round, and one 6-cup rectangular storage piece, all glass, with plastic covers. Pyrex glass doesn't warp, stain, or absorb odors, and can be used in the oven, microwave, oven, refrigerator, or freezer for storing, reheating and serving. The set is easy to stack, so it takes up less cabinet space when not in use. The set includes a pamphlet with safety and use instructions, and each glass piece is covered by a two-year warranty. --Rhonda Langdon
essential kitchen item I've been using my set for 3 years now and I haven't found a better way to store leftovers. I use them in the microwave as well as the oven (with foil instead of the lid) and put them in the dishwasher. I have had zero problems with the lid shrinking, stretching or warping, and as with other pyrex products, the glass is almost unbreakable. The sizes in this set are perfect for mediumto small items - you'll need larger containers for leftover whole roast chicken or a pot of soup, but for tomorrow's lunch these are just right. The smaller rectangle in this set is the perfect size for a wedge of brie or other soft cheese that makes a mess in plastic wrap. I often use the larger rectangle for sliced meat, chicken pieces, etc.
Excellent bowl set! This set of bowls has exceeded my expectations! Lids fit tight, and the selection of bowl sizes is wonderful for my needs. Nice job, Pyrex!
tropicalports: 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
Excellent product Excellent quality glassware - should last a very long time if taken care of by following instructions on appropriate use. This set is SO much better than the cheap plastic disposable containers.
Not an Airtight Seal These containers are very convenient, but the tops are not airtight. I use the little ones for Kimchee and it will often spill with the lid on. Never expected that. I still like them and use them daily, but I have be very careful for carrying it full. Too bad that they didn't make the seals airtight. It's a shame, but otherwise it would be a 5-star product.
tropicalports: ReviewDurable and nice-looking, Pyrex Storage pieces offer a welcome alternative to a cupboard full of plasticware. Made from strong, clear glass, the dishes are great for leftovers, ingredients, or prepared food. They store comfortably in the fridge, warm up in the microwave, and look a lot better than beat-up old plastic pieces at the table. For the storage line, Pyrex combines dark blue plastic lids with its reliable glass construction, adding versatility and stackability to the design. This 6-piece set includes three round dishes--2 cups, 4 cups, and 7 cups--and matching lids. Rectangular pieces are also available, and all are safe in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. --Emily Bedard
Pyrex containers have simplified my life I had fairly recently invested in a set of Rubbermaid Premier containers when the news got out about BPA (bisphenol-A) leaching into foods from plastic.
I didn't want to invest in more plastic -- even grades of plastic that are currently considered safe. I decided to go with glass. And I'm glad I did.
This set is one of three that I purchased. I also bought the Pyrex Storage 6-Piece Refrigerator Shape Storage, Clear with Blue Lids and the Pyrex Storage 18-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids. With these three sets together, I feel like I've got plenty for my storage needs for a family of 4.
I had feared that switching to glass -- although the right decision for me from a health-consciousness perspective -- would be the source of some headaches. I imagined having to be overly cautious with the containers, treating them super gently, worrying that they would slip out of the refrigerator and break, wondering how I would stack them in the cabinet without having them all fall down.
To my delight, this hasn't been the case at all. The manufacturer's claim that the glass is light-weight is fair. Obviously, these aren't as light as plastic containers, but they are very manageable.
These pieces are not as attractive as those in Pyrex's more fashionable lines, but I would have no qualms about serving from these at any casual meal. They look much nicer than anything plastic.
The Pyrex lids are, to me, an improvement over the lids that come with Rubbermaid plastic containers. First, each lid has a lip that runs all the way around the outer edge. This allows the bowls to be stacked safely on top of each other, whether in the cabinet or in the refrigerator. The storage bowl on top rests inside the lip of the bowl on bottom and won't slide off.
Also, the design of these lids makes them easier to clean. All the Rubbermaid container lids I've owned have had a very narrow opening on the outside edge where the container fits into the lid. These crevices can trap bits of food (usually sauces gone astray in my experience) and can be very difficult to clean. The Pyrex lids have a wide lip that can easily be wiped out.
Other reasons I am glad I replaced my plastic containers with these:
1. No more concern about harmful chemicals getting into my food.
2. I can microwave leftovers right in the storage container.
3. I can wash these in the top or bottom rack of my diswasher without any worries.
4. I can put fish, tomato sauce, whatever into these and not worry about them retaining stains or odors.
Buying these Pyrex sets was a bit of an investment, but now that we're being told you should replace plastic every few years since it breaks down with use, heat, etc., I figure I will make up the cost in the long run.
Eliminate the guesswork about what's sitting in those food containers in your fridge with these convenient glass storage units by Pyrex. With many sizes to choose from you'll be able to store any amount of leftovers or pre-prepared meals.
Love these! I own several sizes of these storage bowls and love them. They are sturdy, look good in the 'frig and on the table plus allow me to use them in the microwave without worrying about chemicals leeching into our food. The lids have been washed repeatedly in the top rack of our dishwasher and have held up well so far. Yes, they are spendier, but worth it. Also, I got mine during an Amazon special so managed to pay a more palatable amount.
Cooks have chosen Pyrex for years - durable, hard-working pans that go from refrigerator or freezer to the microwave, convection or preheated conventional oven.

Awesome set! This is a great set of glass bakeware. Received it yesterday and was amazed at how much there is in the box. It's def 19 pieces.
Everything was intact (no breakage). Quality is great, it's made in the USA, Pyrex glass.. Very happy with the purchase. Def. would do it again. In fact, am thinking of a few folks that might get Pyrex Xmas gifts. :-)
Reheating leftovers is a snap when you own this 10-pc. deluxe Pyrex storage set with vented covers. Just pop your container into the microwave, and don't worry about using wax paper or extra plates. Clear glass containers don't warp, stain or absorb odors and may be used in refrigerator, oven and microwave. Easy-grip, tight-fitting lids seal in freshness and may be used in refrigerator and microwave.

Microvave safe containers I bought these after reading an article saying that using plastic containers in microwave may increase risk of cancer.
These are great - you can use it to serve food and cover to store the leftovers in the fridge.
The best set you can get This has to buy one of the best buys I've ever made. I always know I have the right-sized dish for a casserole and the bowls are perfect for prep work, or anything small that needs to be baked. Those who do their cooking on the weekends will appreciate how these go from freezer to oven to fridge. And since the majority of these dishes nestle together, storage is made easier. All in all, you can't go wrong with this set.
