Actually LOVE these and used to have the blue lids for my glass bowls and rectangular storage pieces, but had to replace at Pyrex outlet with White lids and that plastic is cheap and gets brittle too quickly. The old blue lids lasted longer were more rubber like and not so easily broken after just a few uses. I'm shopping on line now for replacement lids - my current set only lasted about a year whereas the originals lasted 10 years and the ones after that about 5 years - now we're down to super cheap lids that only last a year!!!

Easy to store away, no messy tubs everywhere I bought the rectangular set and I want to buy one more set. I love them they mahe the cupboard and fridge look neat.

I have purchased about all different shapes of Pyrex Glass Storage containers for food storage (Hot or Cold), they are good but the Lids are made out of poor quality Plastics that become brittle over time. Pyrex do not supply the replacement Lids to their distributors or retailers. Some upmarket replacement lids available but they are almost half the price of the complete continuers. Hence User has no alternatives but to through these away - Increasing the Environmental Junk and Pollution along with depleting resources.

Pyrex with such a reputation it is shame that they filed to consider the quality or to provide replacement Lids at Reasonable costs.

I use their glass cooking bowls alot for things like keeping chopped onions or tomatoes next to the pan on the stove. They are very useful and unlike the plastic ones don't keep the smells on them. I particularly like the items in their watercolour range which seem to have become collectors items now. Would recommend.

If only the lids lasted half as long as the bowls themselves.

The lids are just not durable, they crack and fail after only a tiny fraction of the bowl's life. Seems such a waste to resort to cling-wrap, or worse to throw the whole lot out, when the lids fail. I now have some Decor glass containers, the lids seem a lot more durable - here's hoping...

I use both the Pyrex Glass storage and the plastic ones. But I always use the pyrex glass containers to re heat food in microwave as I read that there are possibly some harmful effects of using the plastic containers. They are easy to wash as well and do not get stained either like plastic ones.

I have every size that Pyrex make in these storage containers. They have never been near the microwave, nor do I use a dishwasher, yet the lids break and will not seal. Even worse, replacement lids seem to be unavailable within Australia, and the only source I can find is to import them from the US at an unrealistic price. Very disappointed.

I am adding an update to my review. Only in the last few months have the agents for Pyrex imported replacement lids which are readily available in Sydney, Australia. Agents address is:
World Kitchen
29-31 O'Riordan St
Alexandria NSW
Ph: 02 9699 2470

They also stock a comprehensive range of Pyrex and Corelle products. A store worth visiting.

What I really like about this product is its design. Since the containers are made from glass, not plastic, they can be safely used when you're reheating using a microwave. They're also easier to cleaner compared to plastic containers.

These are really versatile storage containers. I love that they don't stain when tomato based foods are kept in them. I've never had a problem with them absorbing smells either.
They are really strong - I've never chipped any, and they get treated pretty roughly in this house. Pyrex make great quality products.
Strong, environmentally friendly food storage
Heavy and can be difficult to store if you have a mixture of shapes.

These storage containers are great, because they are made from glass and not plastic, they are healthier to use in the microwave when reheating or cooking. you can use them to make packet pastas or heat up spaghetti, or leftovers.
They also come with an easy to put on and take off lid which does not leak, so you can take your food with you.
There are a range of sizes to suit all occasions.
I found they didn't stain, or retain any smell from cooking, and easy to clean.
easy to clean, don't smell, versatile, great for taking food with you

This is a great product which gets a lot of usage in my kitchen. I use it nearly daily to keep food in and to serve in as well. I use it in the dishwasher, I put the lid on the top shelf and the glass container in the bottom shelf. This product comes in a couple of colours, dark blue and red and also in rounds and rectangles. It also comes in various sizes too. Overall, its a great product for food storage, but you just have to be a bit careful because of the glass.
This is a lovely storage product. It can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher and it can be used in the microwave too.
It is made out of glass, so I think it can be break, so that risk is always there because there are no handles to hold onto.

I think this is a great substitute for plastic wares, especially if you are concerned about chemicals used in plastic. It is not easy to pack away because they can be stacked up on top of each other like some tupperwares.
great substitute for tupperware. I am worried about heating up food in plastic containers, so this is a great substitute. It's easier to wash & dry than plastic container too.
It's a little heavy, because it's made of glass.
It would have been great if the containers can be stacked up without the lid like tupperwares. so it would not take so much space in the cupboards.

I am in love with Pyrex and truly believe they are great value for money. Unlike plastic containers they don't warp after a while or stain or absorb odours. I use these mainly for left overs as they have lids so i dont have to keep using foil or glad wrap to cover it. While they function 100% my only complaint is the square or rectangular are easier to store especially because of it's shape.
It's glass so doesn't stain or absorb odours. Comes in various sizes
A little heavy but no big deal. The square ones are easier to store.

Love how they have round ones to match my rectangle ones. THey look very nice all stacked together. I am extremely happy with this product. They are very versatile containers and you can cook and store everything and anything in them. I would recommend this to anyone. They are a nice and cheap alternative to tupperware.
Looks good and I find it keeps my meat fresher for longer. It is easy to clean - just pop it in the dishwasher. You can use it in the microwave, fridge, oven or freezer and then clean up in dishwasher.
Heavy but just good quality.

Very happy with these. I prefer to store things in glass. Can put these in the freezer, and dishwasher. Like another reviewer, I am concerned about heating food in plastic in a microwave, and using these dishes, so these dishes are perfect. Plus you can go from the fridge to the microwave. I've even eaten reheated leftovers straight from them!
Available in a range of sizes and shapes. We have all the round ones.
a bit heavy - don't drop on your toes!

What a good all rounder! I have three of these dishes that were given to me. I use my rectangle Pyrex dish's to make lasagnas and other bakes in them. I make extra and so I can just pop the lids on and put them in the fridge. Unlike if I am using plastic wrap, I am able to stack them thanks to the sturdy lids. Pyrex is a good brand with a good reputation and they live up to it well. I am going to go and buy the round ones now.
Can bake in it then put the lid on and pop it in the fridge, easy to clean, very hard wearing.

I loved these pyrex containers so much that I bought a set of them. They come in different sizes. I have used them to bake things in the oven the rectangle shape is a good size and shape. We mainly use it to store leftovers in the fridge. It is great for storing things with red sauces because it doesn't stain the container which happens to plastic containers.
Great reliable product. Good quality glass and so useful. It can be used for storing leftovers in the fridge or freezer. It can be used as a baking dish in the oven without the plastic lid or it can be used in the microwave.
