Pyrex Storage 18-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids

I bought these bowls when they were on sale and I am glad I did. I have been concerned for quite a while about using plastic to heat in , so I had started transferring food to a glass bowl. That just made more things to wash up. I love these, they hold more than I thought they would. It is nice to store all my leftovers in them, take out and heat up.
My only complaint is that the lids on the smaller bowls seem too small. I have to work and work to get them on. Finally, I tried running hot water over the lid and it seemed to help. Maybe as they are used more they will fit better. That is a small problem though. I am proud of them and hope to buy some more later.

I got this set on a Gold Box special for under $20. Having received it, I would probably pay the asking price of $33. Although Pyrex tolerates heat very well, I don't think I'll ever use them for cooking. These are great glass alternatives to plastic for pantry food storage. The lids fit tightly and seem to be airtight. They stack nicely and there's no plastic touching the food. Despite the obvious problem of breaking glass, I prefer glass over plastic whenever possible. Corning puts a warning in with Pyrex now that you shouldn't heat it. That's to cover themselves legally so that when you take your boiling soup out of the microwave and put it on a cool granite counter don't be surprised when it shatters. I've been cooking with Pyrex for 30 years and with a little common sense (like using a trivet) it is extremely safe. Afterall, Pyrex is used in laboratories and it is heated and cooled repeatedly there.

I have purchased the 18 piece pyrex set just today so why am I here to write a review...?
I recieved the 14 piece set as a gift on my anniversary from my sis-in-law last year and since then they r being part of my daily life. I thank her for introducing me to such an awesome product. Some or the other bowl of the set I have in my refrigerator every day. In fact I stopped giving lunch to my husband in that plastic whatever microwave proof boxes and instead I started giving him lunch in pyrex 2-cup bowl. Its so convenient to use and the lids are so tight nothing gets spilled out. But now I feel short of containers with only 7 bowls and so I purchased the 18 piece set too. The list of the qualities of this set is endless and now with amazon coupon I got the 18 piece set in just $25...!!!
I would highly recommend this product to one and all.

There's not much to say about this product -- it's just a set of Pyrex bowls, after all. I've stored in them and baked with them, and they've performed flawlessly at both tasks. Naturally, they're also easy to clean. You can generally expect good quality when you order Pyrex, and this set doesn't disappoint; given the number of bowls in the set (9 -- the count of 18 includes the lids for some reason) and the broad range of sizes they come in, this set is a great value for its price.

I've been using these containers for about a week now. I decided to get them to avoid the toxins that seep into your food from plastic containers. These do have plastic lids, but I take the lid off before I microwave my food (and cover it with a paper towel to avoid splattering). They clean easy in the dishwasher. Very useful sizes too.
