Review of Pyrex Storage 3-Cup Rectangular Dish with Dark Blue Plastic Cover, Clear

I like the fact that I can put it in a microwave and it doesn't stain.I prefer rectangular containers because they use space in my rather small refrigerator more efficiently.I wish it was a little deeper with the width and length the same.When I bought it in February, Amazon didn't give its dimensions with the product description.Now (May 16, 2009) I'm editing my original review because Amazon says it is 12.2 x 8 x 5.8 inches.This is false; perhaps those are the dimensions of the box used for shipping.Embedded in the glass, it says "3 cup - 750 ml, 7 x 5 x 1.5 in", which is far smaller than Amazon says.Amazon's error on this makes me skeptical of dimensions on other Pyrex Storage Rectangular Dishes with Dark Blue Plastic Cover, which I would otherwise consider purchasing.I like the product in principle but knowing the actual dimensions is very important to me in deciding what to buy.

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

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.

Review of Pyrex Storage 6-Piece Rectangular Set, Clear with Blue Lids

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.

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.

Review of Pyrex Prepware Sculptured 6-Piece Serving Bowl Set, Clear with Blue Lids

Because I often make things and bring them to family gatherings, these bowls and lids have become indispensable to me.I will NEVER get rid of them or give them away.

The sculptured design is attractive, timeless, and presentable on the dining table.It's also easy to clean and doesn't hold dirt.Because I hand wash, having no dishwasher in my dinky studio apartment, this minor detail is tremendously important.

I like that these are clear class with no coloring; you can easily see the contents of the bowl.The glass also doesn't stain and scratch like plastic storage containers do over time.Mine have some scratches from years of use, but nothing like the gouges you see in old plastic containers.

The dark navy lids do not show stains and that's important for plastics that are used year after year.The lids still fit very well and they're easy to clean on the inside, unlike the aggravating grooves in my mother's old Tupperware containers.If I want to be certain that no leaking occurs during transport to a gathering, depending upon the contents, I cover the bowl with plastic wrap and then put the lid on.So far, so good.

I happened to see this set on display at a grocery store, thought it over a bit and bought it.It's one of the best kitchen purchases I've ever made.It's unfortunate that this set has been discontinued because I consider my set to be invaluable.

If you're very much the practical cook and you often bring food to gatherings, I'd suggest grabbing this set if you ever happen to see it somewhere at a good price.

Review of Pyrex Smart Essentials 8-Piece Mixing Bowl Set

Pyrex doesn't need a review--it's great stuff.Non-pourous so it doesn't soak up tastes and smells that can never be washed out.Tough and beautiful, Pyrex does it all.

So the bowls are a no brainer, but why buy these instead of others.The tops of course are the difference.I've found that most Pyrex bowls with tops I had looked at didn't fit on their bowls very well or were made out of materials which didn't seem like they would outlast me--as they should.These tops are durable, make a good seal that wont pop off or leak.And they're labeled with the various volumes of the bowls.

The size range of the set is also very good--from one the size of a cereal bowl to one large enough for a pot-luck salad without being so big that it wouldn't fit in a kitchen cabinet--and they all fit inside each other without the smaller ones rising above the rims of the larger ones.

You can put all the bowls inside each other then close them all up with the largest top--with enough room to put paper towels between each bowl and the next for safety.

Review of Pyrex Bakeware 5-Piece Baking Dish Set, Clear

I like the set, for being the typical excellent quality from pyrex, but the millions of warnings it comes with are making me nervous. It hasn't given me problems with anything though. I can take it from the oven to the table to the fridge to the freezer, and back, with no problems.

Review of CorningWare French White 6-Piece Cooking and Baking Set

I've owned French White for years and years, and they were the first casserole dish I always reached for.We had a mishap, broke my 10+ year old large oval casserole and replaced it with a new full set.

What a disappointment!!! CorningWare has changed something in their process or raw materials.The new dishes have tiny little "pits" in them that allows water to penetrate underneath the glaze.It looks unsightly when serving.The heft and feel aren't the same.Neither is the quality.You can tell the new pieces, as the bottoms have a ridge molded into the base.The older pieces are completely flat.

Using the new large oval dish, my adult daughter removed a full dish on lasagna from the oven and set it on a room temperature (burners turned off)stove top to cool.The dish shattered into pieces, and we had to throw everything out.CorningWare sent a replacement at no charge.The new dish has the same defects as the one that shattered.

I've been shopping at thrift stores and have managed to find older pieces.So disappointing the manufacture has cheapened/changed what was once a fabulous can't-live-without product.

Review of Pyrex Storage 14-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids

Trying to live a more sustainable lifestyle - using more reuseables and less disposables, and Pyrex is PERFECT for that!!!

I had been using plastic Gladwear, Ziploc, and Rubbermaid containers, but had several problems with them:
1. Storing tomato sauce and then re-heating it in the container dyed them a weird shade of orange.
2. They are supposed to be microwaveable but I found that after a few months of normal use, they were useless - warped, funny colors, scratched, etc.
3. The plastic scratched easily, creating chanels where bacteria could grow - eww.
4. I've read multiple articles from multiple magazines quoting multiple studies about how microwaving plastics release toxic chemicals into your food.
5. After several months of use, they were beat and had to be recycled - recycling is, of course, better than throwing them in the trash, but the process of recycling creates pollution and not only that, I'd have to go out and buy more, spending more money, which was what I was trying to get away from.Good for the company, because they got more money, bad for me, the customer.

BUT this Pyrex set is GREAT!7 containers, 7 lids.LOVE IT!!!
1. I can reheat food in the microwave (without the plastic lid) and don't have to worry about chemicals leaking in to my food.
2. They do great in the freezer - we use one of the small ones to hold ground coffee - we buy beans and ground several days worth at once, then pop the grounds in the small container and into the freezer.
3. It's Pyrex, so it's no big deal when my daughter accidently drops one helping me put the dishes away.
4. I can use them to hold raw marrinating meat, chicken, or fish without having to worry about them holding on to the bacteria.
5. They are dishwasher safe, just put the lids on the top rack only, and they come out perfect, very smooth surface so they are easy to wash.
6. I've read other reviews saying that they look nice too, so they can go from fridge or oven (7. Oh yeah, they are oven-safe too) to table as serving dishes - this is true, if we ever had a dinner party, I would't think twice about using them as serving dishes.
8. They are simple, which I love, because I won't have to worry about them clashing with anything (we are a young family so we have hodge-podge of kitchen stuff anyway so it doesn't matter right now).
9. They "nest" together very nicely - we live in a small apt with limited kitchen storage, but these containers, one stacked up inside the other, with the lids separating the containers, don't take up any more space than my old plastic junk.

I use these ALL THE TIME, I can't say enough good things about them.All of mine are "in commision" right now, except for one which is in the dishwasher.My one complaint is a set of 7 lids and 7 containers is not enough, I need another set, LOL.:-)(I also have the loaf pan w/ lid - very nice, small, but nice, good addition to my set)

Highly recommend!:-)

Review of Pyrex Storage 10-Piece Set, Clear with Blue Lids

This has to be one of the best deals around, even at twice the price, because it replaces so many other things, and is so durable.

The containers work nicely for food storage, but they also can be used for cooking. They go from freezer to oven or microwave, and are dishwasher safe as well.Pyrex is practically unbreakable.With normal use, this set could easily last a lifetime. At the current price, they actually cost less than plastic containers, which do not have either the durability or versatility.

If all that's not enough, consider the health benefits.Glass will not leech plasticiser into your food, and there's no dioxin to worry about when microwaving.

I don't usually rave about kitchen items, but after I recieved this set, I rushed back to order another. I'm getting rid of most of the plastics in my cabinets today!
