Fantastic value - excellent product! (2008-12-27)
I use these Pyrex round storage containers constantly. There are probably more than a dozen in my refrigerator right now. The 2-cup and the 4-cup sizes get the biggest workout in our family of four. We use the 4-cup size to microwave nearly all of our frozen or canned vegetables. It holds plenty for a generous dinner portion for us all. Then, the 2-cup holds the leftovers! The 1-cup size is great for storing small portions of veggies or egg whites, chopped nuts, etc. for baking. A large portion of homemade soup, stew, or spaghetti sauce fits perfectly in the 7-cup size.

I absolutely love the flat bottoms on these pieces. They stack up in the fridge without a problem and they NEVER tip over.

I own many rectangular and round Pyrex storage containers and I truly love them. When empty, they all nest nicely in my cupboard. I put each bowl on top of its lid, then place the bowl-plus-lid inside a larger size.

It's great to be able to look in my refrigerator and see at a glance what I have in there. The glass bowls never stain, so they always look great.

The Pyrex bowl just keeps on going - I've had all of mine at least 12 years. The lids, however, are another story. Washing them in the dishwasher and putting them in the microwave cause them to crack too quickly. Thankfully, replacements can be purchased online at World Kitchen. I wish Amazon would offer the replacement lids as well, though.

If I could choose only one type of storage container for my kitchen, these Pyrex glass containers with plastic lids would be my choice.

Great... (2008-12-27)
Its perfect size for my needs. Not that heavy what I imagined, its made of light-weight glass.
There was one broken bowl but Amazon replaced with free shipping :-) Customer Service was awesome,never holding phone line for hours !

Disappointed in Amazon's Packing (2008-12-24)
I had to return them because one of the bowls was SHATTERED. Amazon should do a better job of packing glass items. I will probably not purchase any glass items again from Amazon. I have since bought the pyrex
bowls in town and I like them except that they get extremely hot when used in the microwave. Make sure you use hot pads. The covers fit tightly and they stack well in the refrigerator.

Great set, well worth the money (2008-12-23)
This set is a good buy for the following reasons:
1) Lots of different sizes
2) Works well in the freezer - no freezer burn like there was with my plastic set
3) Tight seal, so you know your food is fresh

The lids are a little difficult to get on at first ( I put all my lids on while sitting on the floor as I opened the package - this allows for more leverage and you are going to wash them all before you use them anyway), but it does get easier with time. I have not yet tried putting the bowls in the oven, but make sure you do not put the lid on if you try this.
Make sure to match all your lids to your bowls when you get your package, my first set was missing a few lids, even though it was a brand new unopened package. Amazon's customer service was great in sending me a return label to send 1st set back and promptly sent me another set out.


Hope this helps!

Poorly fitting lids (2008-12-23)
I was very disappointed with the product. The lids were difficult to get onto the glass and I could not fit two of them on at all. The lid design is not good. I've loved Pyrex for other items but not this one.
