Product Description
There are several reasons to choose glass storage containers: Pyrex glass doesn't warp, stain, absorb odors or interact with food, it is safe for microwave and oven use, it's attractive enough to bring to the table for casual meals. Last but not least you can see the leftovers without opening the lid, which means you won't accidentally grab a dish of corn niblets for lunch when you really wanted to bring macaroni and cheese.

Transporting 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

 a multi-purpose kitchen essential November 10, 2004

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!
Great product, glass is very durable and difficult to break June 27, 2006

A passionate home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry. Cooking is my form of therapy. I have owned my set of these for at least 5 years, and possibly longer. I have not broken a single piece in that time. This may not sound like much but I am hard on things, and for all of them to still be intact is a minor miracle in my home. The glass is very tough.
Pros:
1. Glass is very tough, seems almost indestructible
2. I like that they are not plastic, so I feel safe about reheating food in them
3. The lids fit well for the first 4 years or so
4. Replacement lids are available at the Corning and Revere Factory Outlet stores
5. These containers fit well into lunch bags so that you family can take your healthy home cooked food to work or school.
6. The containers stack well inside each other for space cramped kitchens
7. You can bake in these and then cool the food (I place the entire container into a roasting pan filled with ice water) put on the lid and slide the pan into the refrigerator.
8. You freeze can food in these containers
Cons:
1. The lids do stretch and warp over time, I recommend buying extra lids before you need them. My lids lasted approximately 4 years.
Overall, I would recommend these to anyone that likes to cook in quantity and doesn't like to reheat food in plastic. I use these everyday in my kitchen.
Bake or store or serve and best of all it won't stain like plastic! January 11, 2007

I wonder why I stayed with plastic boxes so long. They would get stained if you microwaved food in them and you could certainly not pop them in the baking oven. The sight was unseemly too. With Pyrex, I cook and serve in these and then just close the lid to store the leftovers and can warm up the dish by throwing it in the regular oven or microwave the next day depending on the dish. They come out clean from the dishwasher, not all scratched and warped like plastic. Glass is one of the safest materials to store food in, superior to any kind of plastic. And of course, they will last longer too which helps save the environment. My plastic containers had to be thrown out after every 6-8 months.
Buy one set and never another September 23, 2006

This is a great solution for space-restricted kitchens. One set of these pyrex dishes and you can bake or cook and go to the fridge to store. So no need to have a pile of plastic storage ware. Also, plastic stains with tomato sauce and berries. These glass dishes are stain-proof. And you can microwave them; I don't like microwaving plastic because it can melt.
This makes a really welcome wedding or housewarming gift. It's plain, but something useful and everyone needs these. Much nicer than plastic storage dishes and more inert and long-lasting, too.
these are great for packing lunch to work April 14, 2005

they come in different sizes so you can pack whatever you like. I haven't had any problems with leakages, the lids are pretty tight. Just make sure you handwash the lids so they don't end up warping like typical plastic tupperware, though I've thrown mine into the dishwasher dozens of times and the lids are still fine.
These are great not only for packing lunches, but also for steaming and baking small food proportions!
The only "problem" I have with these is like any dish you nuke for a few minutes, it gets super hot and hard to grab on to. Just make sure when you get these out of the microwave to use some mitts (I use a few layers of paper towels, scrunch them up and grab onto the dish) before you drop the whole thing.
