Product Reviews
favorite container for microwaving and leftover storage
I have owned four of these containers for at least 3 years, maybe 4 years, and have used them almost daily. They have lasted well, except that some of the plastic lids have started to become slightly brittle, less flexible. However, they still seem like a good deal for the price, considering how much we have used them. I have been putting the lids in the dishwasher, on the top rack.
These containers are great for microwaving, and storing leftovers in the fridge. The clear glass makes it easy to view your food while microwaving. They have not retained odors from garlic, etc. There has been no staining, even when tomato sauce splatters on the lid. The glass containers can also go in the oven (without the plastic lids of course), but I have not used them for that.
The lid has a nifty vent hole that allows some, but not all, steam to escape, thus preventing too much pressure from building up. The vent has a tab which can be closed later to form a tight seal, when you want to store the leftovers in the refrigerator. The lids are almost flat, slightly indented, which allows another bowl to be stacked on top.
Like other plastics, the lids may get small white pitted spots on the interior, if someone seriously overcooks the food in the microwave -- too high a power setting for too long a time.
The 5-cup size is good for microwaving 1-2 hearty servings of a main course, or 4-5 servings of a side dish like vegetables.
Great for leftovers
Plastic Tupperware when microwaved releases cancer causing dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. These Pyrex containers are a great alternative.
Storage: best value, best quality, best results
Versatile, no odors, no stains, and made in the USA! Pyrex containers are an excellent value! They do it all and last forever. Heavy, hard to chip glass and a quality, vented lid for the microwave. Take that frozen casserole, slap it into the microwave, or, remove the lid and put it in a hot oven. No problem. Lids can get brittle if microwaved, so I use a sheet of parchment paper instead. (Or set aside ONE lid for microwaving.) So long plastic!
