I purchased 5 canisters and a utensil crock for my wife for Mother's Day.All arrived in perfect condition.The price is "top-of-the-line," but the quality is outstanding, and validates the old adage that you get what you pay for.

Pyrex Just for You 18-Piece Set Review

It's hard to find sets that have lids for practically every item.This one does except for the pie dish and measuring cup (contrary to the description).The staggered sizes allow the containers to be nested for efficient storage.Lid storage can be a challenge with so many but a shallow box attached to the underside of the shelf above will tame the clutter.

Note: Don't use a razor on the top box seam--there's no packaging between the box flaps and a plastic lid.

Pyrex Smart Essentials 6-pc. Mixing Bowl Set - Multicolor Lids Review

Pyrex Smart Essentials 6-pc. Mixing Bowl Set - Multicolor Lids
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These bowls are great.I almost got the set with 4 bowls, but I'm glad I didn't as I think the smallest bowl would have potentially been too small.These bowls are very nicely sized.

I like that it is very easy to store these.Simply put the lids on each bowl and next them inside each other.Do make sure they are dry though if you do this as the lids seal extremely well.I've had covered mixing bowls before and they've always sealed like crap.I'm very pleased with how these seal.

These are of course easy to clean.They are easy to use a hand mixer in.They have a variety of very useful sizes for your needs.

I'm very pleased with these items.I don't think I'd recommend putting the lids in the dishwasher in the long term though as I think it could screw up how well the lids seal.The bowls themselves could easily go into the dishwasher though.

I sent this Pyrex set to a 50-year old friend in England, and he was thrilled to receive it, especially since the set arrived safely and unbroken. He is an avid chef and griller. The covers enable the Pyrex pans to be used for marinading as well as storing. I chose the Pyrex also because it is made in the USA, and it is a quality product. The shipping was very fast.

I should've taken a second to look at the dimensions before ordering, as we were planning on using it on the countertop to hold our new Le Creuset utensils (spatulas, whisk, and others).But I ordered it just based on the picture.While it will hold the utensils, I feel like it's too short and they could fall out easily.I'm going to return it and get the larger one instead.

Great Bakeware set! Really convenient to have lids for everything. I use a lot less aluminum foil and clear wrap so its environmentally friendly. Great for casseroles. The round dishes are great for making side dishes in like pudding or potato salad. Lids are great for potluck's and the leftovers can be put right in the fridge.

Pyrex 6004023 6-Piece Glass Rectangular Storage Set with Blue Lids Review

Pyrex 6004023 6-Piece Glass Rectangular Storage Set with Blue Lids
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We were pleased to find that these containers can be used for some types of COOKING, not just for storage.

We like the convenience of containers that can be used for baking or microwaving, and then covered and used to store any leftovers, without scooping into different containers.

These containers do not have handles on the sides, so they can be tricky to grasp with potholders when removing from a microwave or regular oven.On the other hand, the lack of handles does allow these rectangular containers to use space efficiently in the refrigerator.

The paper labels/inserts indicate these Pyrex glass containers are oven safe (in a regular oven, preheated), and microwave safe, freezer safe, and dishwasher safe.However, like most Pyrex, they are NOT broiler safe, and should not be used on stove-top burners. There is also a warning against use in a toaster oven.

The plastic lids should not be used in a regular oven, of course.I assume we should unseal and loosen the lid, before we put a container in the microwave.It is BPA free, according to the fine print on the paper label.

The plastic lids go on easily, and fit OK, but are not perfectly tight.I think if I turned a container upside down, the contents would leak around the edges of the lid.I assume that if the lids are put in a dishwasher, they should only be on the top rack, if at all.When I looked at reviews for some other Pyrex storage containers, a few reviewers recommended hand washing plastic lids; they thought the lids might keep their shape better if hand washed.

We have not yet put these containers through dozens of uses, so I cannot yet say how durable they are.I will add a "comment" to this review in the future, if there are problems later on.

We have owned other Pyrex glassware for years.These containers seem just slightly thinner than the Pyrex "Storage Deluxe" containers which are extra thick.

Several years ago, we bought Pyrex "Storage Deluxe" glass containers (with the vent tabs on the lids); they have endured years of frequent use with no chips.However, we eventually had to replace some of those vented plastic lids.We were able to buy replacement lids from the manufacturer's world kitchen web site and/or phone number; I assume that replacement lids for this non-vented type of storage container can also be obtained.We have heard that Pyrex outlet stores may also have the lids.We have not been able to find replacement lids on this site yet.

On the paper labels/inserts, there are lots of warnings, but the print seems small (or am I just getting old and farsighted?).

The labels/inserts say: "Failure to follow these instructions can cause immediate or later breakage ..."I will mention some of the warnings and limitations here, so shoppers will know whether the limitations fit with how they plan to use the containers: "AVOID SEVERE HOT TO COLD TEMPERATURE CHANGES.""DO NOT add liquid to hot dish..." Hmmm, sounds like basting is out. The label advises: "Add a small amount of liquid to the dish prior to baking foods that release liquids while baking."

DO NOT "place hot dish ... in a sink, immerse in water or place on cold or wet surfaces." ... "Allow glass to cool before soaking."

More warnings:When using the container in the microwave, do not use a microwave "BROWNER", and "DO NOT use PYREX glassware items ... to hold or support popcorn bags, microwave convenience foods with special browning wrappers, etc."

For use in a regular oven, the label implies that we should PREHEAT the oven BEFORE putting a Pyrex glass container in the oven.I have heard that some ovens use extra high heat during the preheat step -- higher than any regular baking temperature, but I don't know that with certainty.I'm guessing that the exposure to extra high heat during preheating, could cause damage to Pyrex glassware.

The containers' side walls are sloped outward at a slight angle. Thus the length and width at the bottom are somewhat smaller than the length and width around the top edge.

Pyrex 6010170 Storage 6-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids Review

Pyrex 6010170 Storage 6-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.
