Amazon.com Review
Durable 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 What's in the Box
Storage set, consisting of: 2-cup round dish; 4-cup round dish; 7-cup round dish; 3 lids. 6 pieces total.

Excellent Food Storage Containers (and Plastic Alternative) January 5, 2009
We were trying to eliminate storing leftovers in plastic and these are the perfect alternative. I've been using them regularly for 3 months and love them so much that I just ordered 2 sets of the 18 pc set.
Tip about the lids:
Because the lids are difficult to get on the first time, force the lids on when you get the set to stretch them out slightly (don't worry they will still fit tightly). Try putting the lid upside down on a table and then work the container into the lid. Leave it there for an hour or several. This will make it much easier to put the lid on the first time you actually use the container.
PROS:
- They don't stain
- Look great to serve in
- Eases cleanup because you can put them directly in the microwave or oven without having to use another bowl or dish (you can take soup to work, heat up the container, and eat it directly in the container).
- Long lasting
- Refrigerator and freezer safe
CONS:
- Heavier than plastic (but I don't mind that)
 Very useful, but with a slight flaw December 8, 2008
I've used these Pyrex lidded bowls for a few years now. I probably purchased my first set at Walmart, and I've always been happy with them. I recently got rid of my plastic food storage containers in light of the well-publicized health concerns (my doctor was the first one to warn me about xenoestrogens in some plastics). I bought three sets of these from Amazon due to the free shipping and great price (part of the 4 for 3 promotion!) One bowl had a small chip on the rim, but it wasn't bad enough to hassle with a return. What was more disappointing was the fit of the lids - unlike my old set, some of these lids are extremely tight and take a ridiculous amount of effort to snap into place! The plastic seems harder and more rigid than the plastic on the older lids. On some, I've had to put the lids in the microwave to soften them up enough to stretch. I think they've loosed up a bit from use and hope they will continue to. Despite the glitch, it's still worthwhile to be able to store my food in glass. When necessary, I use wax paper over the surface of the food to prevent contact with the plastic.
Love it! October 26, 2008
No question -- these containers are essentials in our kitchen. I can't believe we didn't get them earlier! That's strong glass too (we tested this accidentially)!
Air tight! August 16, 2008

A little pricey, but these are super high quality. Air tight and thick durable pyrex glass. Wash easily and make the left overs in the fridge look a little more appetizing than my cheap plastic containers did.

This was my sixth order of Pyrex storage items in the past ten months. I now own 44 containers (plus 44 lids) in various sizes from 1 cup to 7 cups. There are always several in the freezer, many in the refrigerator, a handful in the cupboard, a few in the dishwasher and one or two storing bulk ingredients in the pantry. With the clear bowls, refrigerated leftovers are no longer forgotten until it's too late.
If you're purchasing Pyrex storage pieces for the first time this is a great starter set. If you're not sure which size(s) are best for your household, start with this set (one each 2-cup, 4-cup and 7-cup sizes plus lids) and/or the other 6-piece set (one each 1-cup, 2-cup and 4-cup sizes plus lids). Once you use them on a daily basis you'll know which sizes or sets are most useful in your household. I guarantee you'll be ordering more. Start checking the prices every day. One morning you'll log in and the items you need will be at a too-good-to-pass-up price. That's how I've placed each of my six orders. As I result, my 44 containers have averaged $4.72 per bowl+lid set.
These containers have made healthful eating so much easier. In the winter I cook large quantities of vegetable and grain stews and soups in a slow cooker and freeze the leftovers in 1-cup and 2-cup containers. These have totally replaced prepared frozen dinners. With summer in full swing, I wash and tear a head of romaine lettuce that fills the 7-cup size and use a variety of 1- and 2-cup containers for assorted salad vegetables run through the food processor. In well under half an hour I have salad fixings for several days. I can set out a salad bar for lunch or dinner in a minute. No more excuses that I'm too tired or too hungry to start prepping the salad fixings at 6:00 P.M. And it tastes better than if I'd washed and chopped and sliced immediately before eating. All the ingredients are always cool and extra-crisp.
Improved our diet, cut down on disposables, replaced plastics in the microwave, made in USA. What's not to love?
