Pyrex Pyrex 2 Cup Storage Container Set

I love these! I actually bought them in all available sizes, to replace my ancient, unhealthy plastic containers. I’m glad I ignored the reviews that complained about the quality of the lids: yes, they are best not microwaved, but you can buy silicone lids separately to resolve that problem (at least for the round Pyrex). The lids are plenty tight enough. I also always disregard reviews about products arriving flawed; stuff happens, and arranging for a replacement is easy. Out of a large number of Pyrex I ordered, one was flawed; no big whoop. My only regret is that the Pyrex don’t nest as well as my old plastic containers do, but that’s understandable because of the thickness of the glass (which I appreciate, especially after I dropped one while standing up trying to get the lid off and it did not break. I actually enjoy cooking more now, with these high-quality, good-looking containers.

I have a set of these that I got many years ago. Sometimes all three of them are in use and I have to come up with something else to store a leftover. These are my favorite containers and I figured, just get three more, so I did! Now I always have these available for storing leftovers.

The plastic lids snap on securely, yet are easy to get off. With the containers being made of Pyrex, I can put them right into the microwave to heat things up. Just today I had some leftover oatmeal and popped that in for my breakfast.

I find this 2 C size to be just right for many of my smaller leftovers. 2 C is 1 pint – it is easier for me to visualize the capacity when I think of it as holding a pint.

Having used these storage containers for many years I have to report that the lids will eventually crack on the edges. I can’t say for sure how many years or uses that might take, but the good news is that they last a long time and you can order replacement lids right on Amazon.

I purchased these a few months ago but preferred to wait to review to ensure they held up. I am pleased to report that they are great! Pyrex has not let me down! I’ve had cheaper versions of these but the lids have, stretched and split and I’ve had to throw them out. Not so with these. The lids still fit great and are leakproof. I carry a backpack and ride a bus to work. I carry my lunch every day and often my lunch ends up slipping around in my backpack. The lids do not come off or leak. I also love that they are glass and not plastic. Easier to clean, safer in the microwave and do not stain. I would purchase again.

Love Pyrex for leftovers. From refrigerator to oven.
